NJ Transit, in its board meeting agenda, has revised its capital plan. Among the highlights: the planned demolition and rebuilding of the old Union City bus garage. Take a look: https://content.njtransit.com/public/board/agenda/NJT Final Board Meeting Agenda - 7-20-2022.pdf

And it's going to be even slower as Pembina is going to build the 30 Academy units. MCI units 105169-105198.

All buses 22056-22088 now in service. This was the Winnipeg portion of the NJT-branded coaches. Last two, -087 and -088, went live today.

19104 and 19119-19127. The idea behind those (and they were all test buses) was that almost every garage that was scheduled to get cruisers would get two of the 2019 units with the X12 engine. Wayne, Ironbound, Howell, Meadowlands, and Newton Ave. I guess Washington Twp. was left out of that batch as they already had all the buses they needed. And Oradell wasn't even supposed to get new buses. That way, when the 20000's came out exclusively using the X12 engine (ISX engines were discontinued), the garages were ready to support them. (For the record, 17185 was the first bus built with the X12 for NJT, although the VIN says it has an ISX-12.)

22013, 22017 and 22084 now active out of Oradell Garage, or today, the mall parking lot.

Back to the 22000 series.... 22018 22087 and 22088 inspected today. The Winnipeg flight of buses (22056-22088) is done for NJT, all those VINs are now confirmed (and in numerical order, too). I don't know who's building the Academy buses at this point; there are supposed to be 30.

22014, 22085 and 22086 have reported to Oradell Garage for revenue runs. 22016 inspected Wednesday.

22014, 22015 and 22086 inspected today. 22016 still up in Pembina. Only non inspected bus at ADD should be 22017.

22014, possibly 22017 and 22086 up for inspection today.

22009 and 22010 are active. Oradell.

Coaches 22084 and 22085 are at Atlantic Detroit Diesel. Only three more NJT coaches due from Winnipeg. Pembina taking its time with the 22001-22055 portion of the order....

22011, 22012 and 22083 inspected today. No other buses awaiting inspection at this time.

22011 is at ADD, the only bus there right now. 22009-22010 still at ADD waiting to be prepped. 22083 still in Pembina.

22008 went into service this morning,

I looked at the Google Map of the lot and those buses weren't even parked like that. I saw the dozen or so DesignLine buses, and that one RTS that's being saved for some odd reason, and a whole bunch of others. 7805 was there but in amongst some other buses. I don't want to speculate on why these seven buses but bear in mind that they've all been retired for years and are all about 20 years old..

CMF and Ironbound occupy the same space.

22006 and 22007 now at Oradell

22006-22008 inspected yesterday at ADD and now heading to CMF.

22013 tracking in Pembina. 22083 is still there as of this afternoon.

22005 is now active out of Oradell Garage. 22006 was delivered over the weekend.

22004 and 22080 heading to Oradell (hopefully to high ground; I hear it got flooded out again).

All future posts in this topic should be posted in the new Deliveries, Moves and Transfers thread. SIgning off here.

22001-22003, 22081-22082 and 21338 now all ready for service at Oradell.

First real update in a week: 22080 just arrived at MCI in Blackwood for some work.

22002 and 22082 inspected today.
