CALGARY TRANSIT
1966 Daimler/Duple SRC/6SC Roadliner's

Calgary Transit purchased 3 Daimler/Duple SRC/6SC Roadliners in 1966 numbered 547 to 549 and had them brought over to Canada by ship.  At least one of these buses was used on demonstration in Vancouver when they arrived and then brought out to Calgary.  All three of these buses were retired and sold in 1972 to the Calgary Board of Education Safety Roundup Band for $1 each bus.
