Is unit 941 one of the new H3's? I got a video of her today with the new rear and front end caps and she had a volvo D13.

EDIT: checked the wiki and she is a 2011 model.

All RTS have been sold.

5 remaining sold to the "New" bus company based in Merritt. "Charter Bus Line of Canada" "South Okanagan Charter Bus Line". Regardless of name, their fleet is mostly ex-CBL equipment.

I caught this shot of a BRAND NEW 947 in Sorrento BC yesterday on her way to her new home. Looks like Wayne isn't tructing Prevost with the delivery anymore. There is actually a CBL driver at the wheel.

1) Yes it is a brand new H345.
2) Mentioning names on this site is a violation of posting rules.
3) Trust has nothing to do with the delivery. Quit speculating.

Brand new H3-45 950 was westbound at Three Valley Gap this afternoon. I would have captured a photo were I not driving the other way when I saw her.

Here's 3 of the RTS' up in Merrit. What a sight that would have been seeing them up highway 5!

So 5 went to the "new company", 1 to BCIT, and 1 to Beaver Bus Lines in Manitoba?

What was the number of the one with the open engine compartment?

Were there any highway buses in the yard? Still can't find the two that were in Penticton.

Got a chance to take a sneak inside the CBL yard and got video. I was with a former CBL driver who has his own company that is working with CBL. The general operations manager gave us the green light to be in the yard in the video i noticed an orion V in the yard with transit style config, anyone know why its there? I also saw some of the 2011 H3's as well as some XL's kicking around. The yard was empty since i was there at around noon.

That V has been sitting there for a LONG time.

WOW. The amount of mis-information during the "narration" is disgusting.

While you may have had permisssion to "tour" the yard, do you have specific permission to post these videos to the internet?

[translink fan]

Being straight up. No, but i have seen other people post videos of footage being inside transit or bus property. But i would like to ask what your thoughts are. And maybe help me understand how you feel.

If you had or if you would delete the audio from the video, there wouldn't be too much wrong with the video.
The audio is my biggest beef. Most things the ex-employee speaks of is incorrect or speculative.

The only other issue I have is the showing of units being scrapped. There have been a wrath of metal thefts in the past years and showing that part of the video could be an invitation to theft. Perhaps the turn-around portion could be edited out?

[translink fan]

I will see what i can do, i thank you for your input and appreciate the response. The part cut out you want is the bone yard shot?

Watch for CBL 905, a 1998 Prevost H345, with it's new tail-light package.  Delta-20120427-00070.jpg   686.86K   20 downloads

930 was at the Chilliwack Bus Depot this morning. I know this will probably upset one member of this board but I can only speculate that she was probably there to help out Greyhound schedule 5409 from Edmonton. Staff at the Chilliwack Depot told me that this schedule was sold out when I rolled through on schedule 5008 at 8:30 this morning.

Have you ever watched the movie, "Rainman"?

What does that have to do with anything?
