If you don't see the number anywhere in that list, it was crushed between now and about 2 or so years ago when they started crushing 1996 Novas in numbers.

I think homeboy got that number wrong, 8878 was crushed a while ago...we're probably sipping on it from a Coke can. Its not even in the System Storage Reserve system, hell its not even on the to be scrapped listed, its gone!

Hmm, odd, you sure? That bus hasn't tasted a fuel pump since 12/18/2012...

No, not scrap, Storage as in can be reactivated at any given time.

Updated as of 4:10PM, http://www.ttmg.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=New_York_MTA_Bus_Operations_Depot_Roster Changes: 638 New to CP 4303 to MA from CH 4727, 4729 New to KB 8927 to System Reserve Storage from EN

Minor Move: 5611-5612 to OH from MQ

Those have been at UP for almost two weeks now.

I don't know, but both of them are sitting on the backside of Eastchester Depot, OOS.

Updated as of 4:28PM: http://www.ttmg.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=New_York_MTA_Bus_Operations_Depot_Roster Couple of Orion Vs bit the dust (6327, 6330) Couple of D60HFs bit the dust as well from KB 628 New to CP 8839 JK to Reserve Storage 5610, 5613-5615 to OH from MQ

There is nothing to get angry over, it is a valid question bro! These are primarily for use on the FR routes, however it is not totally out the question if one should sneak its way onto a B100 or B103 run as the yard dispatcher sees fit.

Exactly, like when I left Bus/Subchat, I just stopped posting...Peaced Out!

Yeah, both those puppies came back on Friday IIRC.

She's been there since yesterday and UP lost 4862 to EN as well as 2163, 2166, 2167, 2169 to CH.

This sounds like the MTA found something they don't like on the units already carrying people, and maybe these units will get whatever fix before being shipped off to KB for service. 4717 and 4728 both went to KB but was sent back to the Vendor and hasn't been used in service since, so I think there is some kind of modification going on. However, 4721 has arrived at KB.

641 New to CP

Na, I decided if I walk, everything I've done walks and burns with me.

Updated as of 11:14AM: http://www.ttmg.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=New_York_MTA_Bus_Operations_Depot_Roster A few of changes, figure them out

Thats why I'm considering retiring...

7013 has been at QV for a little bit now. Its 7010, that is the remaining E10/4G at QV. I don't know, look at the photo, looks like some kind of front ride side damage.

5658 had a scaffold fall on its roof.

Nothing is replacing the Orion Vs at SC, those are still in service thanks to SC helping out on the Q22, Q35 and Q52. When that stops, those buses are toast! This is what happened to 5656:

Actually LG lost 10 Nova RTS-06s to JA... bringing the total RTSs at LG to 52
