Canadian Premier Charters Photos

Welcome to the Canadian Premier Charters gallery for a bus fan charter that took place on April 4th, 2004. The charter started out in the community of Huntington near Zellars. We took former Red Deer Transit #7118, a 1970 TDH-5305 for a ride up to 78th Avenue Terminal and then back to the yard. We then took #330, a former Edmonton Transit System 1980 T6H-5307N out for the main part of the charter. After taking 330 to various locations, the bus encountered a minor mechanincal problem. So we went back to the yard to get #965, this was also a former Edmonton Transit System 1980 T6H-5307N. We took the bus for a short run and ended the charter at Barlow/Max Bell station. Below are photos from the charter
