Someone mentioned that 4009 is OOS. Whether it’s retired or pending transfer to MTA Bus Company, it appears like it won’t be in passenger service at Manhattanville again.
7623 was loaned to Ulmer Park. It ran on some of their routes such as the B3 and B36. 7318 was also sent to Ulmer Park. Is that one back at Flatbush too?
I’ve been wondering the same thing, currently with the four NG’s at East New York. They can easily transfer them to Fresh Pond or Flatbush and exchange them with XD40’s.
It’s unknown. Some people think it’s to familiarize Gun Hill operators with New Flyers to prepare for the XHE40 delivery. I’m pretty sure that’s false.
