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.

I think the buses will be moved overnight or tomorrow

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.

Correct, 7422 only has a couple weeks left. 

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

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

Whats 16406 and why is it tracking in winnipeg?

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!

Looks like Suburban Transit's 21000s are starting to get plates. 21269, 21266, 21274, 21247, and 21270 are all seen at their yard with plates. Not sure about the rest of them, but I would assume they have plates too.

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?

Hmmm, it's why they some if Meadowlands 7100s, some 9000s from both Fairview and possibly Meadowlands and maybe some additional 21000s from the Meads 🤔

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

21301 delivered. Assigned to NJT, but with white rear...

21293 and 21294 are there too both for Academy.

I mean plans could always change. We thought a few months ago that Wayne would get 21191-21240. Then 21198-21241 turned out to be for Rockland and 21191-21197 for Oradell.

 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.

We have had a pretty stagnant week - no buses inspected out at Piscataway (last inspection was July 8th).
