I got thrown off quite a bit when I saw 6504 today with the new look on the Q54. At least those hybrids out of FP are getting cleaned up.
Wow, isn't that funny, I saw 6504 myself yesterday.

LGA continues to lose more RTSs, 8885 and 8928 are now at the JAM depot. If any one sees them, could they please post it? Thanks.
Yes, I seen them both in action on the Jamaica routes. I rode on 9014 on the Q30 yesterday, another one from LGA.

They might as well make a stop on Elmont Rd. as well.

I would love to see those R62As from the 7 go on the 5 but that is not going to happen.

I mean wow everyone is going to the TTMG rosters expecting them to be correct like God himself wrote and edited them. Everyone expects Trevor to be a drone and be on-top of the bus moves 24/7. It's just not possible as being a human...

This is very interesting. Was 5917 at CS last week?
Yes, it was here is a photo I took of it a few days ago
MTA NovaBus Articulated 5917 on the Q44 Limited by Queens Surface 295, on Flickr
The CS arctics are at various depots because the themoking Nova LFSA's are having issues with their HVAC's like one person posted earlier, they are just there on loan, i saw 8866 on the Q17 this afternoon so 8866 is at Jamaica, orion V 5969 was on the Q60 earlier i got a pic of it
8866 has been at Jamaica for a good amount of time now.

The R42s need the typical SMS mechanical work done, aside from the rust removal and the repaint, ie, reconditioned trucks and wheels, new suspension springs, etc.
I actually find it kinda hard to tell the SMSd 32s apart from the non-SMSd ones. I think it's because they didn't use the blue suspension springs on the trucks or something, a feature that I go looking for first when trying to determine how recently a car has gone through the program. Any help here, TwoTimer?
They don't have to use the blue suspension springs...some R62As are running around with yellow suspension springs.

So there's 6xxx Orion Vs in the Bus Co. fleet, wow.
Yet again...funny thing is two of the 6000s at ECH might not have even been relabeled fully back to NYCT...from the last time they were at ECH.

If it's an emergency they probably will leave it 10 cars since cutting 2 cars off takes time.

The follwoing are scrap from LGA: 8778, *9233, and 9310. *9233 did not enter service at all.
So they fixed 8778 only for it to go right back to scrap...wow

I'm sayin though....
The Q1 for the most part is used as a backup/2nd-ary option to the (crowded) Q43.... Just on that alone would be a reason not to add LTD service on the Q1..... Also, You already got the 36 LTD over on Jamaica/Springfield; it's excessive to have LTD service on the Q1 & the Q27 along Springfield - When the 36 & the 1 both travel along Hillside & both end at 165th bus terminal.....
While I don't know how well the braddock spur performs in comparison to the springfield spur, I can honestly say the Q1 is not all that well used along Springfield....
This is an argument that supports keeping Q1's on Braddock, but by no means does it support giving the route LTD service....
Yeah, the Q1 is really a feeder route to the Q43 as soon as the Q1 hits Hillside Ave. from the QV or Bellerose terminal, it always picks up a few passengers. Really the Q36 does not have really that much more ridership than the Q1. The Limited is really pointless since it's all local stops after 212.

Babylon trains are extremely crowded out of Penn but once Jamaica is reached there's room. This can be attributed to selfish, drunken pricks who take up seats with their crap and are better off taking the to Sutphin. They're not too far off from the bums down there.
Is there a reason LIRR trains haven't been going so fast from Woodside to Jamaica? I can understand being slow through the East River Tunnels and immediately before Jamaica for the switches, but I haven't seen them going any faster than 30 past Sunnyside and all the way past the curve..
They have been doing some work on the tracks over there so they might set up a slower speed restriction between Woodside & Jamaica.

Thanks for the roster, but we all have access to ttmg...and 9500 and 9502 from 126th have been OOS for a little more than a month now just to let you know.
Yeah, it seems to the same exact version of the ttmg roster...
On another note 4034 from LGA is at Eastchester getting work done.

Just to foam for second... YES!!
That's great news to hear, hopefully I'll catch one on the Q60 soon. Those 5900s do have to go (and they're dropping like flies), hopefully those'll be swapped for the UP and QV RTSes that go.
Man, those 1996 RTSs are dying out of QV now..:cry:

Are the wooden platforms in better condition then the ones in those two pictures I posted?
Yeah, the CTA platforms are in much better shape than those two photos.

Maybe they need to keep a few singles for Refuse Service...since all those redbirds are gone.
