Ninja Bus Fan Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 That's a sticker O_o ? I thought it was some sort of modified roll sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general682002 Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 That's a sticker O_o ? I thought it was some sort of modified roll sign. Magnet with sheet metal cover! And yes, they do change their sign regularly! They hated the Luminators THAT much, that they placed a panel over it with a route sticker?!!? Um, they have the old Luminator sign, so pretty much it went kaput! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasW97 Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 In my original message, I had a typo. What you think is ex-WV 956 would be 4710, not 4712 although this would still have to be confirmed by checking the VIN plate. There was one other ex-WV unit at the Prince Albert garage which would have not been the one at Big Rig. I do not know the ex-WV number of the 3rd bus (assuming it is 4711) that was sitting at the garage as we were turned down in our request to get a photo of it. It was supposed to enter service in early October. By the way, if anybody is going to Prince Albert to get a shot of these buses, note that the D40LF buses are only used in the peak periods. During the middle of the day, they are changed off with cutaways which operate on the affected routes. Thanks for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buswrappervern Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 I only see pics of their ad wraps. We now have a P.A. installer so I no longer travel that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I stumbled on this article while doing some Google searching - http://panow.com/node/425294 - and this confirms they do have a former West Vancouver unit numbered 4711 as there is an image of it in the article.

Seashore_518203 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I stumbled on this article while doing some Google searching - http://panow.com/node/425294 - and this confirms they do have a former West Vancouver unit numbered 4711 as there is an image of it in the article. It is interesting that they did not cover the destination sign with a steel plate on 4711. It appears that the Luminator sign is working on this unit.

Ninja Bus Fan Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 On the bus, the seats were not comfortably padded and during each bump along the way, I felt as though I was going to fall out of my seat. This user said the city buses are extremely uncomfortable to ride, especially if you are a senior or someone with special needs Those seats are very comfortable, much better than the padded ones on top of sheet metal. Also since this bus does't have that sticker or plate, how would people know which route its operating on and is it possible to find out which unit it was when it was over here ?

GMC T6H-5307N Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I enjoy sitting on those seats! They are comfortable. It looks like the Luminator sign still works. The only way to tell the former fleet number is check the rear window, front destination panel, or see the VIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was surprised to see which seats they were referring to as well! Those were very nice seats in my opinion as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.A Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Could it be West Vancouver #981? I do recall reading that it was in poor condition. Could have been one of the Novas from Regina or Charlotte Area ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
