  1. It does say it's pending (with 4 other units) according to the TTMG roster, so it's not clear as to if the buses will see service at Bus Co or not at this time.

     

     

    It could be possible for these O7s to run on the B100/103 given that JFK has loaned to these routes plenty in April, but let's wait and see.

     

    Also if anyone wants to see what else SC has, it's 7619, 7624, 7631, 7657.

     

     

    I don't think those are for service.

     

     

    SC once had Diesel Orion V's, around 5 of them from the 95-96 batch that never ran in service. So I wouldn't hold my breath about these Orion 7 CNG's running in service on SC routes, I'd love to see it though considering I live along the B103 and like those buses.

     

     

    Likewise they had 3 C40LFs from the '99-'00 batch as training buses for the '11-'13 order...possibly saw service for 1 day before retiring or returning to JG.

     

     

    CP still is short on buses. Perhaps a few of the Orion VII's can go there (I saw a Hybrid on the Q38 sometime last week). 

     

    As per the DTS of Spring Creek, these buses will be in the reserve fleet for SC once they come out of the shop. They are there for service on a 90 day loan so that JFK does not have to loan hybrids anymore. All 5 are undergoing work at SC right now. Here's some pics:

  2. Looking at the 96' RTS: 9079, 9207 seem to be missing and according to the depot roster 9307 is alive at LGA, so idk who's right.

    9079 is retired.

     

    9207 is now an NYPD RTS.

     

    9307 is still in active service at LGA.

     

    I knew this was coming with 6148

    I saw 6000 in ECH

     

    6000 is on a hold for the museum fleet.
