Especially a G....mind u that's the best place for them is on the Island. I thought they scrapped them all. #1194 and #1203 were sold from Vancouver. Maybe it was one of those two. If they sold two, they could have sold more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prevost Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Spotted two ex Starr Charters and Tours units in Richmond with no legals nor license plates. Does anyone know who the new owner of these coaches is? https://www.flickr.com/photos/dansmotorcoachgallery/32455896245 https://www.flickr.com/photos/dansmotorcoachgallery/32304802742 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On their website they show two E-series coaches, and Galland had 3 (449-451), so wasn't sure which was the other one AU picked up. AU Coach operates two daily buses to Blue Mountain during the winter season. They are: Route 1: Scarborough Town Centre (8:30) -> Yonge/Bishop (9:15) -> Major Mack/Hwy 400 (9:55) -> Blue Mountain (11:45) Route 2: Toronto City Hall (8:30) -> Kipling Station (9:15) -> Major Mack/Hwy 400 (9:55) -> Blue Mountain (11:45) Both routes depart Blue Mountain at 6:00, and make their stops in reverse order at 7:45, 8:25, 8:45. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prevost Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Pacific West Coach Lines #562 chartered by Jumbo Holidays this past weekend: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dansmotorcoachgallery/32484948383 https://www.flickr.com/photos/dansmotorcoachgallery/32916879030 https://www.flickr.com/photos/dansmotorcoachgallery/32484932763 I think this is a relatively new company in the Metro Vancouver area. Does anyone have any information on this company? For example, why do the back of their buses say Cross Canada Coach Lines but then their legals say Pacific West Coach Lines? Or when did they start up and how many buses are in their fleet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K&C coach sold to someone and with it went a Black H3-41 and an old H3-45 from what I was told by a friend who drives for them. Then the owner bought a bunch of coaches. Not sure why they have 2 different names though, but they are registered as Pacific West Coach lines anyways on the PT registry. Other than that, I don't know much more.

canuck600 Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 It's not that unusual for the legals to say one thing and the name on the coach to be different. For example Quick Coach Lines is the legal name but does business as Quick Shuttle Service. Legal name for CBL is Vancouver Tours & Transit.

leylandvictory2 Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Pacific Western is getting some I heard this time in red background colour! I wouldn't be surprise if Great Canadian and Coach Canada are getting some too. They get new buses every year. GTA and Attridge are maybe. If they do, they won't get a lot based on previous years.

I wouldn't be surprise if Great Canadian and Coach Canada are getting some too. They get new buses every year. GTA and Attridge are maybe. If they do, they won't get a lot based on previous years. Safeway likes to rotate their fleet out about every 3 years, so Safeway-branded coaches delivered in 2014 should be expected to get replaced with this year's orders. Based on this I would assume 4 coaches to Attridge (6504, 6506-6508), maybe 5 for Great Canadian (1206-1210, although some have been unwrapped already), and 7 coaches to Pacific Western (5190-5193, 5195-5197). This math counts for 15 coaches, and I haven't counted anything for Coach Canada (none delivered in 2014) or for GTA (its two 2014 coaches were unwrapped early last year). Back in 2014 when Safeway first branched out beyond Coach Canada, they weren't as strict on background colours, so many of the new companies used their regular base colours (Great Canadian was blue, GTA was white, PW was green/grey). As seen by Great Canadian and GTA's more recent coaches which are all red, it would make sense that PW would also be getting red coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Spotted two ex-417 Bus Line E4500 coaches coming into Ottawa today now operating for 'Toronto Charters'. I believe the former fleet number of these coaches to be 25-01 (brown) and 60-01 (lime). The lime green bus has a fleet number of 177 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prevost Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Spotted a new style Pacific West Coach Lines Prevost H3-45 (not modified) turning from Granville Street (eastbound) onto Oak Street (southbound) this morning. I only thought they had 3rd generation Prevosts cause that is all I see in their yard, but interesting to know they have at least 1 new design unit.
