The buses are slowly returning to Oradell today. There are a handful still at the GSP parking lot.

That leaves only 21332-21334 to be delivered. 21306 (Academy) and 21329 are in.

Spoke too soon. Now 21315 is there. Here they come....

As of this morning Oradell's buses are still on site. Nothing's been moved to GSP yet.

This statement has been a long time coming. 21334 tracking in Pembina. Also, Unit 16417 is tracking there too, possibly one of the 2022 buses. Makes me wish he had a mole from MCI on here....

Unit 16437 tracking in Winnipeg. Possibly the first of the 2022 buses.

Rockland Coaches just put 20154 into revenue for the first time. Wow.

21317 is tracking right now at.... Meadowlands!?!?!?

7422 got the BPOD. All the 2001-2003 D4500's are done. Just D4000's left.

21306 is still in Pembina.

Nice shots of 21307. However 21306 is still at large. It might be at Academy; anyone know for sure?

hot updates: 21301 is on the 166T 21313 is on the 164 also active today: 21310 (see above) and 21315 all out of Oradell

and just in time too because more 45 foot buses are coming. 21310 is there as of this morning.

21310 is at Oradell Garage.

It is likely a 2022 bus. All of the Winnipeg buses for 2021 have been delivered (VINS ending 82882-82900). So far we've seen 16401-16402, 16404-16408 and 16411. Some of these are in Pembina now and ready to go to NJ. I think you may see some 22000's on the property before the 21000's (what's left to finish in Pembina) are done.

I spot checked some of the most recent Rockland inspections on the 20000's. It appears from the mileage that these coaches haven't budged an inch. Right now those buses will need to be inspected again, as most of them expired on September 30.

Happy 10th birthday to this topic. Keep on doing it good people!

Suburban's plates go from AX-220J to AX-254J. I seem to think that the Suburban Transit buses (21242-21276) are being plated in fleet number order and the VINs are in order for those buses as well. Anyone have any word on what Rockland Coaches is (or isn't) doing with their buses?

And possibly getting some of the 21300's. One inspection report from that group of buses said Howell, but I'm not sure about that now.

The Winnipeg part of the 2021 order has completed. There are still about 15-20 buses yet to come down from Pembina. Most if not all of Academy's units have been inspected. In addition to 21277-21300, Academy might also have 21303-21306. NJT definitely has 21301-21302 and 21307 and up. All 58 VINs have been determined for these final 2021 buses (Pembina MP082843-82881, Winnipeg MW082882-82900), now it's just a matter of getting them lined up properly. If you go on the CPTDB Wiki you'll see what's been confirmed so far, through sightings (Justin's post this weekend broke the whole thing open - thank you!) and Ron Archer's diligence in putting the fleet numbers on the inspection records he prepares. I have a preliminary idea of where they will go, but don't want to post it until it's confirmed.

Here are the VINs for those three coaches. New patterns now in effect! 21307 - 1M8D2W916MP082860 21315 - 1M8D2W91XMW082897 21317 - 1M8D2W911MW082898

21293 and 21294 are there too both for Academy.

Now we got NJT coaches again so here we go with those trips down to Sicklerville and back.

Haven't updated on Academy's buses. I think I have tracked down all the unit numbers. I still have not been able to get any exact VINs on these coaches. Assuming the fleet numbers follow the VIN sequences, here's how I have it at the moment. 21277 - 16348 21278-21279 - 16350-16351 21280-21285 - 16353-16358 21286-21287 - 16360-16361 21288-21292 - 16363-16367 21293 - 16369 21294-21298 - 16371-16375 21299 - 16377 21300-21334 - 16379-16413 At least 21282 has been inspected and is sitting in Leonardo.
