JFK Depot

3 LFS on the Q3 at the moment (8060, 8071 and 8054)

8060 seen not too long ago on Q3 JFK bound passing Guy R Brewer Blvd

I wanna see NG's on QV routes.

As do I... I wanna see a 4400 on the Q2

So far according to the sighting on here

JA LFS'S 8046,8050,8055,8069-8071

Anymore sightings plz update

Yeah, 6136 is now GA, it's doing the G shuttle right now.

A former CS 05 at one point in time of its life... I do recall seeing that on the Q44 some years back

I saw LFS's on 4 JA routes yesterday. Q4, 17, 84 and 85.

I'm still waiting to see one on the Q3...

The whole plan was to send 25 NG's not 20... There's a few NG's at QV they've been there since last week.. And JA is bringing the 4900's here and taking the 9300's back so JA & QV they have their own thing going

On.. Btw 2143, 2175 & 76 CH - UP they just arrived as of 1:40pm.

Here as in QV or UP ?

Like I said before... 8015-8089 to JA... Watch

Only way it makes sense

4900's out

4400's out

For 8000's to replace them.... Even if QV ends up taking the rest of the 4900's back.... It looks like we've seen the last of them in Jamaica

4900-4944 gone.. Just watch and see

You are about.. 3 days late already just shhhhh!!!

No need for that tho bro.. I follow the forum well I know my post is late... But if you really can read it really pertaining to the moves and how the numbers DON'T add up...

If Jamaica is sending out RTS and NG and only getting back LFS'S..

That's a shortage unless they are losing a route

Unless QV plans to send them 8015-8089... We'll see what happens tho

Seems like UP might end up with entire 49xx series when everything is said and done

I don't know how true this is but it makes sense

QV to keep the 1st 15 LFS's 8000-8014

and the rest go to Jamaica... While they send UP 49xx's and QV 44xx NG's

That makes sense.... Anything other than that is a shortage at JA unless they losing a route with this winter pick

According to Subchat... 6316 seen in service on B45... Looks like ENY is getting 05's now too

These moves are getting crazier and crazier...

Now something else isn't adding up to me with these moves

If Jamaica is set to lose 1/3 of 49xx's to UP and 44xx's to QV to only be receiving 80xx's in return aren't they gonna be short ?

In my opinion the Q6 doesn't need Artics. It's the Q111/113 that need them. Woah buses at its third stop is packed to the door. The Q6 could use extended LTD times.

I can agree with you on this one... The Q113 needs them more so than the 111

But really why haven't they run on the Q60 yet ?

Of all routes out of JFK... That should have had first priority on Artics IMO

Um...the LAST stop of the Q17 lays over there now just at the corner...the northside corner where the Q6, Q8, Q9 and Q41 make the right turn at. That was due to the Q44 getting artics and needed to layover space to accommodate them along with the Q20A and Q20B. Therefore, the FIRST stop for the Q17 was pushed back to the southside of Jamaica Av near the corner of Merrick Blvd. In plain English, the Q17 drops off, then crosses Jamaica Av to pick-up at the first stop.

 

Also, thanks to Cait Sith with the photos...the Q6 looks good in the terminal.

I'm talking about before the light on Merrick Blvd and Jamaica... Not the same side as the Q20 and 44

That's actually not true, they enter and back up fine out of 165. There are some videos online with the artics being tested at 165.

I have yet to see them testing in 165th Terminal... Nor have I seen YouTube footage of an Artic going in and out of 165th.... You could be right but I would love to see proof

I was told my info from higher ups in MTAB... Artics can run the on the Q6... It's pulling in and pulling out of 165th with its slanted pull in spots that leave terrible blind spots for the 60ft bus... It's not safe

They are trying to figure out where to a put a stop for them over there... My guess is it would probably be the corner of Merrick Blvd and Jamaica Ave... Nothing stops there

LGA should be getting the artics now... don't get me wrong JFK needs them too but they got theirs already on the Q10 and I believe the Q6 is also slated to start running them soon. That Q70 won't sit well with the hybrids, and the Q53 desperately needs them.

The only reason they haven't been seen on the Q6 is 165th Terminal... They still haven't figured where to place a new bus stop

Artics cant fit in 165th

I would think they would've started out on the Q60 before any route but that's just my IMO

I heard from a supervisor for MTAB... JFK will lose more OGs for Artics

More routes I guess to get Artics

I don't know how true this is....

This is all speculation

180? I wish they'd bring some back for LGA.

180 seen on Guy R Brewer and Farmers Blvd going to Far Rockaway (Q113)

9208 seen deadheading towards Jamaica Center the other night

I saw 5051 on 21st Street by Queensbridge Houses the other day smh....

Why on earth would they send them 1999 Novas....

LGA should have 96 Novas and Orion VII OG's

I would swap the NG's with JFK for more OG's

I know a few Road Ops for MTAB and they told me the low down about LGA... " foam in the fareboxes "... " take out 5 bolts put back 4 " I could go on and on but I won't

I don't remember seeing 5028 and 29 in Jamaica although I could be wrong... I do remember a while back when they did have 5xxx's .... They 5025 to 5039.... But those went back to Manhattan and eventually Brooklyn

Leaving them with just 5037 and 5038

According to TTMG 5028-5029 have been there for a while now.... TTMG is a creditable source

5029 just seen on Springfield Blvd and North Conduit signed up as a Jamaica bound Q85.... Still with MJQ depot sticker on it

New addition to Jamaica

And? Regardless of the fact, they're on loan to JFK and it's been established that SC and JFK will be cycling buses for FR routes. If a bus is not assigned to JFK, it's not moving. Save me the heartache.

SevenEleven.... ALL Im saying in a nutshell is state it on TTMG...  make it known to those WHO DONT know.. thats all.... all heartache is spared lol

no no no the jfk drivers are told to report to spring creek and buses are fueled there or if im not mistaken there is a cng fuel station near jfk

I live BY the Depot.... hence the name JFK Depot.... they house all CNG's.... they DONT go back to Bklyn.... what they did was operator train on them... for those ops who never drove a CNG before.... but they house them right across the street from the main parking lot... directly behind McDonalds on Farmers Blvd... ride by there at night you'll see everything special in that yard... CNG's and maybe a D60HF... last time I walked over there which was last week.. thats what I saw... mind you Im 5 blocks from the depot

Oh yes and there is a CNG fueling station in JFK airport which they use to refuel

Not necessary, they will be returning in like 2-3 months time, which can elapse quickly.

LOL @ 2-3 months.... 

there are people who follow the boards and may think they are still in SPRING CREEK when in fact they arent.... all im saying is this... if your gonna do a roster.... do it all the way correctly.... if JFK has CNG's right now... list it... thats all 

weither or not they stay or go...thats NOT important... whats important is WHERE they are at NOW plain and simple

Those buses are on loan from Spring Creek. They are still SC buses.

we ALL know that... but being that they arent physically AT spring creek.... shouldnt they be added to the Roster... IE:extras on loan section 

Spring Creek C40LF's here until further notice

alil off topic but if JFK has CNG's running in revenue service on all JFK routes why isnt it on DEPOT ROSTOR on ttmg.... anything moved should be accounted for right ?   even if its just temporary still it should be listed under JFK.... they DO have C40LFs for right now
