BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Spotted today in Downtown Calgary, Golden Arrow Prevost H3-45 #277. I don't believe I knew about this latest batch of H3-45's (Or is #277 the only knew one?). Newest buses I knew of for Golden Arrow were the J4500's which I believe are numbered 273-275 ? I believe #276 would be a new H3-45 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted August 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Anyone know if this was Golden Arrow's original scheme or maybe a prevost Demo scheme? See Attached Photo. This photo was taken in mid 1995 so since this coach is an H3-45, it was probably pretty much new to Golden Arrow in 1995 at the time of the photo. It was repainted to Golden Arrow's current scheme sometime after the photo was taken. Click on the link to see #242 in the current scheme. http://www.busdrawings.com/coach/golden/h3...35golden242.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board Admin A. Wong Posted August 31, 2008 Board Admin Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Other operators that had a Prevost H3-series coach with that scheme at some point in time: Bi-West Translines National Motorcoach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the photo that you have taken in 1995 shows a H3-41. It may very well be the same bus as shown below. The 242 you have pictured likely no longer is part of the Golden Arrow fleet, as I haven't seen any H3-41's operated by them within the past few years. The current 242 is a H3-45 of course, as you have pictured. Probably a Prevost demo scheme, I recall seeing older Golden Arrow units in a cream and green scheme, with silversides of course.

M. Parsons Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 585. Obviously purchased used. Might even just be on lease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted December 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 585. Obviously purchased used. Might even just be on lease. I am more thinking that it is just on lease judging by the kinda cheaper than normal livery and the way the fleet numbers are displayed on it. Interesting and nice pics Martin!

Board Admin A. Wong Posted January 8, 2009 Board Admin Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Got a crappy shot of 585 on the Yellowhead today. Looking at the legals on your shots and mine, it seems to say OWNED & OPERATED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Parsons Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Saw 591 today. Same as 585, at least paint scheme and fleet number decal style wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board Admin A. Wong Posted January 22, 2009 Board Admin Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Spotted a DL3 turning from 153 Avenue northbound onto Manning Freeway...don't think it was 247 or 248 as it did not have any text on the rear! I'm pretty sure it had black bumpers too. 243-244 were sold off (I think Alta West has one) so it wasn't a D3. Keep your eyes peeled, I hope to find out what number it is.

Board Admin A. Wong Posted March 19, 2009 Board Admin Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Looks like Golden Arrow acquired Gray Line 1108: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board Admin A. Wong Posted March 26, 2009 Board Admin Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 They picked up 1085 too! It had a similar scheme to this, but they even tried to emulate the font, and they have "GOLDEN ARROW" in some weird thin blue font, replacing GRAY LINE. The same weird font is on the front of the coach as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted March 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Spotted Ex-Gray Line West #1111 running in Calgary earlier this evening on Deerfoot Trail for Golden Arrow in the same livery as #1108 which was mentioned in an earlier post.

T6H-5307N Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Went for a ride on 591 today, appears to be ex Perimeter 763 (1998 MCI 102-EL3). Also spotted 589 and 593 (Perimeter 804, 1999 MCI 102-EL3), both recent (used) acquisitions, each with their own different livery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck600 Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 According to McMynn's web page I believe the E's are leased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Board Admin A. Wong Posted May 17, 2009 Board Admin Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Not sure about that, but out of the 8 or so Gray Line West coaches parked out at Ogden Point in Victoria, we didn't see a single Setra. I wonder if they all got sold, as Brewster has some too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
