  1. I don't know about 9686, but I just saw 9678 on the Flushing Avenue route today as it was operating on the B57 to Maspeth.
  2. Interestingly, I have been seeing that bus have FP decals the entire stay at Flatbush. Now that the bus has returned home, it sports Flatbush decals. Funny. I hope those buses make their way back to the Grand Avenue Depot some day soon.
  3. 4551 was on the Q54 this afternoon. Still had GA decals.
  4. 4933 back at JAM from ENY, in case it wasn't already reported.
  5. Saw 7312 on the B46 this morning. Wouldn't it be nice if all of the RTS that are to stay in Brooklyn stay at the Bklyn Depots that are located in Queens? That would be lovely. Even if GA and FP only got 30 XDs a piece, that would keep those Novas put for a whiles longer.
  6. Not a move or anything like that, but I Saw 7304 on the B46 as I drove down Avenue I this afternoon. Had FB decals and everything.
  7. 7218 on the B57 this evening, heading towards Fresh Ponds.
  8. I was kinda hoping that FP and GA would get the RTS from FB (again).
  9. So did I lol. I caught 7255 and 7270 on the B38 going to/coming from Catalpa and the 7208 coming from Metro, all in one day.
  10. They are. Not just Fresh Pond, but Flatbush is giving off their high floors to Eastchester, Grand Avenue is giving their high floors to Fresh Pond, Queens Village and Casey Stengal, and Ulmer is giving their RTS' to al of the above. I can't wait to see what FB gives off when their Xcelsiors come in, seeing as they will soon have 100+ hybrids and merely a handful of high floors. Hard imagining Fb depot completely running just low floor technology. I am glad, though, that with the arrival of these Flyers, that there will be some common ground (in terms of the fleet). Even with Gleason, who has all Flyers at this point.
  11. I'm not sure, but I think 9371 went over to FP. Also, 7271 was on the B38 yesterday, right along with 7217. Man, is the B38 one lucky route; to be getting those Xcelsiors in from two different depots.
  12. Sorry, 7259 was the other bus I saw. I must have gotten it confused because it was far away and I left my glasses behind. But I am certain that I saw 7259 on the Halsey Line.
  13. So does anyone know if the Fresh Pond depot is giving off all of their NGs in placement of the arrival of Xcelsiors? Is Flatbush losing all of their high floor Novas, along with Grand Avenue? It just seems as if too many of those RTS' are being traded off for something far less efficient and far less valuable (Note: That was just my opinion, not a matter of fact in the least). Also, I saw 9571 on the B13 tonight in Ridgewood. I didn't expect that bus to go back to GA.
  14. 7257-7258 also at that Fresh, on the B26 and Q55 in Ridgewood, respectively
  15. 4533 Fresh Pond to Grand Avenue. Seen on the B60 this evening.
  16. Yup. I wonder what's going to happen to the rest of the Hybrids that GA have. I hope they do not lose 4701, 4702.
  17. So I caught 7204 on the B62 last night Downtown Brooklyn. While I enjoyed the ride from Bk to LIC (new fresh bus smell and all), I realized that the XD40 is not really ideal for rush hour crowding, especially on routes like the ones at Flatbush.
  18. 7213 at the Pond also. Saw it on the Q54 this afternoon. It took me aback a bit. Took it to Williamsburg, where I spotted 7207 on the B32. Talk about two for two!!!!!!!
