airwolf Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 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. Was I on a DL? I thought I was on a G. Anywho, once I got to Kamloops I pawned that coach off on another driver and got to take a D4505 (1274) home an hour later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck600 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 You were on G there was a DL that departed before you & then the DL that was doing Vancouver via the Okanagan. Were there many/any coaches at the spike when you went by? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Series with destination signs are ex-NJ Transit coaches. Moose Mountain 82 (older style Prevost H3-45) was in town too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted April 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Well, it seems that the MCI MC-9 operated by Sunshine Coach in Calgary is Ex-Greyhound #769. See Attached photo showing the Ex-Greyhound fleet number still on the inside of the pasenger door. Its possible that this number is from a different company, but the specs and age of the coahc match up to Greyhound #769 - a 1984 MCI MC-9.

airwolf Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Lots of Golden Arrows were in Vancouver over this past weekend. 261, 262, & 263 were parked at Pacific Central Station when their groups didn't require service. I captured these two shots with my camera phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Well, it seems that Pinnacle (Banff, Alberta) has picked up a new addition to their fleet either that or I just never knew about this particular coach. It is either a brand new H3-45 or a recapped older H3-45 plain white with Pinnacle name and logo on the right side (Not sure about the left side) and fleet numbers on the front only - #9246. It was spotted heading West on Highway 1 in Calgary probably heading back home to Banff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prevost Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Do they have a different paint scheme from the MTR Western coaches? Yes, Sightline Tours Prevosts have a blue paint scheme with Sightline Tours written in gray/silver on the side instead of the traditional MTR Western paint scheme.
