canuck600 Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 So far I haven't seen a single non Greyhound doing a overload. What has everybody else been seeing? Slow year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A. Wong Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Saw a white J4500 numbered 129 the other day (posted in another thread) - must've been an overload since it was in the downtown Edmonton Greyhound depot. Other than that, there hasn't been a bus in the back compound for months now when I go by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 I saw an American Greyhound MC-12 unit leaving the bus station in Ottawa yesterday. It was # 3004, in the new paint job and signed up "Toronto". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday I aparently missed a Thompson Valley Charter coach or so one of my Salmon Arm Depot contacts tells me. Yeah I spotted Thompson Valley (Ex-Greyhound Canada) MCI 102C3 #944 in Calgary painted in green a few days ago! Not sure if this was working an overload or not, But I am suspecting so.

Michel Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 I saw an American Greyhound MC-12 unit leaving the bus station in Ottawa yesterday. It was # 3004, in the new paint job and signed up "Toronto". Saw this bus again in Ottawa today. Turns out that it's numbered # 6004 and the American Flags are gone. Must have recently been transfered to Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stage driver Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Spotted a Dallas coach in London at the Greyhound terminal earlier this week. One of the numbers on the driver's side was partly missing. Nice looking coach. It was likely on the Toronto/London/Toronto sector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Parsons Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 Only briefly saw the Greyhound depot today, but appeared that there was a Luciak C3, and a pair of Golden Arrow J's helping Greyhound out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlo86 Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 At the Calgary Terminal on Christmas Eve were Thompson Valley Charter 942 (White) & Thompson Valley Charter 944 (Green), both ex-Canadian Hounds of course. National has been doing a lot of work for Greyhound too out of Calgary. Pinnacle 8708, a H3-41 was helping out on Christmas Eve too in Calgary.

2822 Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I saw some coaches yesterday from the Western Mustangs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stage driver Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 The Western Mustang coaches are owned and operated by Greyhound. Western has first divs on them if they require a coach for their teams. otherwise the coaches are based in London and operate in schedulued service.
