BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I think it was mentioned here that these buses spent more time parked than on the road. See my above post. It is in regards to the post that you have quoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A. Wong Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Nice! I forgot to mention I saw a 102-EL3 28x I think, on the Whitemud a few weeks ago, and it had a LED taillight treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck600 Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Spotted Brewster 1143 at the Watrous yards in Edmonton today! Does 1143 still have Brewster lettering on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck600 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 For those of you with access to Facebook I found this on the Brewster page today - Setra in a wrap for the new skywalk attraction https://www.facebook.com/BrewsterTravelCanada/photos/a.10150511753841163.429058.11729001162/10152276230576163/?type=1&theater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 I guess they are going to keep some of the Setra's around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) I am not really sure where to put this, but a couple of months ago, at least 5 former OCTA 1995 D40LF's showed up in Calgary at the PWT / Red Arrow shops after operating for PWT in Ontario for awhile. I found one of them wrapped for Glacier Skywalk with Brewster logos and such on it.. So now what I need to figure out is who owns this bus or buses, PWT? Brewster!? They sure seem more like Brewster owns them in my opinion but PWT could be doing the contract for it, but I kind of doubt that too... Thanks to some help from another member, apparently this Glacier Skywalk is north of the Columbia Icefields and opens in May of this year. See attached images: Also, more images and info on these in the following two links: http://www.cptdb.ca/...ndpost&p=640330 http://www.cptdb.ca/...ndpost&p=641574 Edited April 30, 2014 by BCT-3122-D800-10240 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A. Wong Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Brewster owns that attraction too, so my guess is that they own and operate them. But who knows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I forgot to mention that the wrapped unit has PWT #5251 written on the right side mirror and the plain white D40LF is PWT #5247. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck600 Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Pure "speculation' on my part but maybe part of the sales agreement involved PWT doing some work on the buses prior to them being delivered to Brewster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A. Wong Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 And just for the record... The walk is accessed via Brewster’s nearby icefield centre. Public parking at the Skywalk is closed, but the company will provide no-charge return-trip shuttles every 15 minutes from the centre to a free viewpoint or an interpretive walk and Skywalk platform which costs $24.95 for an adult $12.50 for a child. Children five and under are free. Source: http://www.edmontonjournal.com/Four+things+know+about+Glacier+Skywalk/9784999/story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megabus Rider Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I suspect the same thing.... Or PWT is leasing them to Brewster... I heard rumours of PW trying to sell some after the Airport Contract. Perhaps this rumour could have been true? I heard rumours that some of them will be used for Porter which is now true.

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Didn't catch a fleet number but I am pretty sure I saw an H3-45 in the same livery as 1141. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Went to the Columbia Icefields yesterday and caught many photos of buses as well as the former PWT NFI D40LF Low Floor buses running out of the Glacier Icefields Centre now running for Brewster. So I have updated my website here - http://www.busdrawings.com/coach/brewster/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megabus Rider Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I'd assume that PW sold them for $5000 each. I heard through the Grapevine that PW bought them for $10,000 each when they started the Pearson Contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are Southern Buses and have been refurbished in California prior to being used in Toronto. TTC's D40LFs are Junk! Big Difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdstedall Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 When I was at the Columbia Icefield on 8th May I saw two of the recently acquired New Flyers - 42 (ex-5254) - this one was parked up at the Icefield Centre and was not in use that day. and 43 (ex- ??) - this one was in use on the shuttles. see www.flickr.com/photos/chairmanchad/sets/72157644766917156/ for photos.
