canuck600 Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 It's actually ex Country Coachways & the tour company they own is Tour Time. At any rate The owners have decided to use Premier Pacific as the operating name for the company & Country Coachways no longer exists except maybe for motor carrier licensing purposes. All Country Coachways buses have been relettered as Premier Pacific Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted April 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Yesterday I spotted what looks to be an Ex-Greyhound Canada MCI 102A3 with plain white between silverside and the passenger windows. It was called "Reggies" and had Alberta plates. No fleet numbers. Never heard of this company before. Anyone know anything more about this one or other coaches they may have??

canuck600 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 In town tonight, ISL 993, Premier Pacific H-185 I think & Universal 318 who rather nicely almost backed into my car while I was trying to shoot ISL 983. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airwolf Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 In town tonight, ISL 993, Premier Pacific H-185 I think & Universal 318 who rather nicely almost backed into my car while I was trying to shoot ISL 983. You should've seen how Universal 226 cut me off at the top of the hill coming into town just before I showed up at the Salmon Arm Depot. Sorry I couldn't chat with you there btw. ISL 974 and 984 seen heading east between Salmon Arm and Sicamous yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board Admin A. Wong Posted April 18, 2008 Board Admin Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Canadian Forces also have white Setras. Spotted one SB on Highway 2 yesterday. Really shoddy shot which I might post later today or tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I couldn't chat with you there btw.No worries on the not being able to chat, you were running late & had a astounding amount of freight coming out of the trailer, was it all Salmon Arm freight or was a lot of it being transffered to the coach that was doing the Vancouver via the Okanagan? Every coach driver I know has been cut off by a Universal coach at least once. In greyhound sitiations do those type of reports get turned into dispatch or do you just call the RCMP from the nearest depot if its warrented? ISL 974 and 984 seen heading east between Salmon Arm and Sicamous yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airwolf Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Most of it was being transfered to the other coach but a little bit was staying put. You should've seen the fun I had later in Merritt. As for the situation with that Universal coach, if a report to dispatch is warranted then usually a call to the RCMP would be made ASAP. In that situation we would use the on board cell phone if its working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck600 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 With it happening so often with one particular carrier it should be reported in my opinion. I hear you on the working part the two DL's that were at the depot looked pretty ragged. It's not just the G's that are duct taped together.
