I said the XD60s Quill has will go to FB and people were like “that doesn’t make any sense!” And now look. I feel like one thing is said here, one person recites it, someone bash what was said, and eventually what was said ends up happening.

MysteriousBtrain Posted April 10, 2019 Share #3479 Posted April 10, 2019 Just for the long run, it was pretty obvious that the 4700's were going to Brooklyn sooner or later. Like @East New York said, the plan was just simply delayed. The only "surprise" I seen the last few months was LFSA being assigned to GA in the first place. For now expect 4700's to hit GA and later on ENY. FB dosen't seem to be in the plans for 4700's now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but even still when I even brought up the 4700s a while ago some people said the plan was scrapped and it wasn’t happening. Now long and behold it was “always” “supposed” to happen even though it was “scrapped”. Even though things change constantly no one can really blame anyone for just going back and saying what was said on here in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melbx15 Posted April 10, 2019 Share #3481 Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) So I’m guessing the LFSA from MCH will go to kingsbridge and gun hill to push out those XD60s to Brooklyn (89 buses 1200-1204, 1206-1289) 44 gun hill, 45 kings bridge it makes since lol BTW if anyone is keeping track we have 1 month left until those RTS are supposedly retired Edited April 10, 2019 by Melbx15 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brillant93 Posted April 10, 2019 Share #3482 Posted April 10, 2019 Just saw XE60 on the B44 route testing. I don’t think it’s in revenue service. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of that, this is also why I'm still drawing the XE60 this week in cuomo version. I also wished to rear caps are off. Also, did it pull away from the depot today ? If not, I'll see about tommorow and days after. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted April 12, 2019 Share #3490 Posted April 12, 2019 With the Phoenix being converted to a Metrocard bus I wonder if the Mobile Command Center RTS will get the same treatment. I would imagine in 2019 there's no longer a need for a Mobile Command Center bus...? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of those xd40s (newer ones) should be unwrapped and put into local service. Hence the word should. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your XD60s are brand new... what more do you want really ? The NGs are the only hand me downs you get and those will probably come from Staten Island Flatbush Depot Age is good... once RTS is gone 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, from observation even with the high RTS count Flatbush still manages to make service. 51 minutes ago, Flatbush SBS Duece said: Newer buses?....

That’s correct. Mean while the rest of the division is getting new XD40’s. Again, the train shutdown affected a lot of the moves. Hence the 38 XD40’s at West Farms eventually heading to either Ulmer Park, Grand Avenue and Fresh Pond once West Farms gets more buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
