The only transfer units is 4951,4959 and 4964. The rest of them are currently at Quill Depot.

4964 from Quill to GA Depot.

4951 and 4959 are currently on the M23 and M34A. I'll bet the above were only CMF moves...

Spotted 9200 at the Kawasaki plant at Yonkers earlier today. I also saw a few solo M9 cars sitting around... they're so new, they don't even have the blue and yellow stripes yet.

9607 is being loaned to Kingsbridge from Manhantanville, and has been there since Monday. It ran on the Bx1 on the 11th and is running on the Bx13 today.

I seen a photo of LFS 8503 and it got new hanover destination signs instead of the Axion display. 

It's had those signs since at least June 2021 fyi

On another note, #8964 entered service on the Q112 earlier today. Excited to see more of those buses on the MTA Bus routes.

4952 is back at Quill from KB Depot.

Just to update this info, 4952 and 4957 are back at KB, and both buses were on the M100 today. Apparently the charger at KB had issues, so they went back over the weekend to recharge at Quill.

#7470 is in service at ECH (it ran on the Bx23 today) and it'll be there for training until the newer XD40s arrive.

Here's video proof:

4952: Quill to Kingsbridge

4957 is also a Kingsbridge

So apparently #4957 made a round trip on the M100 this morning...

Not sure if it's indicative of anything, but there's a chance those XE60s could run on more KB routes. There's also a chance that both buses could've been sent back to Quill... I guess we'll see what happens.

Interesting… which tracks got knocked out that crippled both and service this way?

Most likely the Uptown / Broad Street bound track.

When did they start running artics on the Q110? I saw 5409 on the line yesterday. 

They've been running on the Q110 occasionally since BP got them in 2016. Not every day, but mainly during the rush hours. They tend to also show up on the Q64, though that happens more frequently than the Q110 runs.

were Prevosts 1432, 1434-1435 ever delivered to FR? Those are the only Prevosts I don't have as delivered.

The last few buses from the Prevost order were delivered a while ago. The buses mentioned were all in service today.

9597 and 9424 are also back at MHV, both on the M4 and M11. No more XDE40s at Kingsbridge.

9437 is back at MHV from KB, currently on the M4.

8379, 8398 KB to MV, parked in MV, unclear if it will be in revenue service at this time 

On 4/25/2023 at 8:44 PM, RSMG106 said:

They both have KB labels. It's only there just to park the buses at MV. I have no clue whether or not it will go back to KB later on.

These are also back at KB, both on the Bx13 and Bx10

Wasn’t the Concourse express project fixed already? Why are  trains still running local because of “major structural repairs”?

Structural work between Kingsbridge and BPB. Instead of working on it when the line was shut down last year and over the weekends, they decided to close the express track again 🙄

Feels like we haven't had express service up here in ages... they wrapped up the last project nearly a month ago, it's crazy...

How does it make less sense?

In the past the  has gone to Prospect Park to provide alternate service for the  and . In this instance, extending either the  or , and I’d rather the  since it’s shorter, will provide whoever’s going to Culver with alternate service from Essex St to the entire 4th Ave Line,

That's comparing apples to oranges.

With the supplementing the , the affected area was between Manhattan and Brooklyn (namely Brooklyn Bridge and Atlantic Avenue). It makes sense in that case to send a between those two stops, as folks can transfer to the to connect between those two stops.

With the  suspension, the affected area is within Brooklyn, between Church Avenue and West 8th Street. The  is either within walking distance or a quick bus ride away from most stops in that section, so it makes sense to redirect them there. Running it local allows for a connection at 4th - 9th, which means that those customers between Church Avenue and West 8th now have easier access to stops in Park Slope and Gowanus, rather than having to backtrack to Downtown Brooklyn or further north just to go back down.  

Extending the and  down to 9th Avenue does nothing for those folks, because they don't need a connection from Manhattan to Brooklyn. They need service within Brooklyn. It would really only work if those trains ran further south, which isn't feasible given the current crew shortage.

Whoever is doing the CPTDB editing still has it retired, that’s why I said it.

If it's a CPTDB issue, mention it on CPTDB. They have a page on their forums for the MTA, which they use to update those wiki sites. They pull some of their info from here, but this forum ain't the place to fix their roster 🤷‍♂️

I'm reading online that NYP is still a far more popular destination than GCM for LIRR riders so far.

I wonder if LIRR was expecting a 50/50 balance between NYP and GCM terminals in terms of ridership.

Twitter is going off on the schedule changes, it's honestly hilarious.

I've been noticing during the rush, there can be upwards of up to 100 people IN EACH CAR of a train going to Penn Station or Atlantic Terminal. However someone posted a pic of just 5 people in one car of a train to Grand Central in the morning.

I know that full service just started two days ago, but the disparity is astonishing.

Is 3444 still active? I have it as scrapped.

I saw it with my own two eyes earlier today running up Madison in service.

7499, 7501, and 7504 JAM to GH as well

8350 GH to JAM, now GH is down to 4 of their 2015 Novas

By any chance did you see if they had Gun Hill logos?

Some of them do, a few still have Jamaica stickers. Most of the ones I saw had Gun Hill stickers on them
