I don't think it is. From what I remember, Jamaica is a training depot and the Xcelsiors are the standard training buses so they kept some Xcelsiors after the swap with GH earlier this year. Someone feel free to correct this.
Another user posted these on the Bus moves thread, but I figured they fit here for consistency sake: 7137, 7139, 7146, 7153, 7161, 7167, 7168, 7171, 7173, 7175, 7178, 9016, 9041 have been retired.
Well the DOB has done crazy things in the past so I wouldn't rule out the possibilty of it staying in Manhattan (Either MHV keeps it ot its sent to Quill with the other 7500s).
The M66 is heading back to Quill in the next pick. It's safe to assume the diesels are being sent back, though that can change.
Also, the M60 is staying put at Hale in the next pick.
Yeah, some dude(s) has been removing the Quill stickers on some of the Quill units as of late. 9698, 9724, and a few others have the old MHV decal exposed, with an Xcelsior having a Jamaica decal exposed.
9752 has been at Quill since the hybrid swap happened last year.
I'm surprised that 4672 was sent down for roach issues when it ran earlier this morning.
Already knew that. I do admit I needed to word my response better to not make it look like I said that "Meadowlands has pieces of the 161" or something like that.
That being said, a Meadowlands unit sometimes makes its way up whever a unit is straight up borrowed from there.
18077 has been at Wayne since the summer. As for the 21000, I think Wayne has been borrowing Meadowlands units for a while. I remember seeing 21073 a month ago and 18098 was at Wayne for a day or two before heading back.
It will be a while before Express service returns to normal as the express would be running in one direction once the middle track is used for Trains when the renovations begin at the 52nd and 69th Street stations.

NJ Transit is giving some of their current fleet a retro look. Not sure how long it will last, but it's something to be on the lookout for.
