Acela Express

OK, I take it back. I looked at another thread seeing 5362 at Zerega, but yet to reach us at Flatbush, which is why I assumed the order isn't complete, just not delivered to it's assigned depot as of yet.

Who said the order is "complete"? I just posted earlier that the order is nearly complete - with one bus missing: 5362. Refer to post #8233 on page 412 of this thread.

All LFSAs delivered to Flatbush, for the exception of 5362. 4979, 4985 and 4988 returned to ENY from Flatbush.

Ok, so what's the reason you're asking...?

4977 back at ENY from the Bush. 5360 delivered this morning to the Bush.

5356 delivered to Flatbush a few hours ago. 4975, 4976 & 4981 back at ENY from the Bush.

8870 & 8902 scrapped from the Bush this morning.

5353 & 5355 delivered to the Bush.

That's the hawk - run 1. He had an NG, right?

That's because you're looking at it from one perspective. There's one or two reasons they moved the stand - #1. The Q35 stopping where the SB 41s and SB103s was becoming too conflicting with the amount of buses stopping and discharging. It's a damn madhouse during rush hour; #2. The Q35 was constantly being crush loaded leaving the prior stand as it was being used as a supplement for the 41, this depreciating service for most folks going into the Rockaways. Mind you, many folks who are just riding on Flatbush are smart enough to actually check around the corner if a 35 is loading there, but it's farrrrr less crowd that before, keeping service pretty accurate now. I use the 35 myself going to the depot as they run every 10 mins mostly during the day, and 90% on time for the most part. Know the schedule and everything. lol

Flatbush has only four 58xx LFSAs left, with those being moved back to Quill in a few days.

Wouldn't it been easier just by saying Spring Creek alone, instead of adding "Command" before it? Same thing with the Green Bus phrase... Smh

They don't have "activated" GPS - the computer is confused with the D60HFs with BusTime software activated.

The LFSAs are coming directly from Jersey to the depots.

5342, 5347 & 5348 delivered to the Bush today.

Those deadheads you see southbound are 49s terminating at Foster & Flatbush Aves. As I said before, they have PM rush short turns going to Bergen Beach at the Junction.. There's a 5:44pm, & 6:05pm There used to be more months ago, but I think they increased short turns at Empire/Ocean Ave instead (local & LTD).

Neither you, or I know that answer.. or anyone else for that matter. Stop posting misinformation.

I have a theory as to why Flatbush sent back a few 5800s to Quill. Until the 41 & 46 become "artic-qualified", there's no reason to have 60+ LFSAs on deck at the depot. You surely don't need 60+ for the B44 alone. And with the A Shuttle service coming to an end in a few months (or even weeks), there's no reason to keep both set of artics. I'm thinking this may be a temporary move at the moment.

5822, 24, 25, 26, 27, 34, 36 & 37 have gone back to Quill. Also, 5341 equipped with BusTime.

Select 5800s being sent back to Quill... 5830 is one of them so far

I posted about 5340 when it first arrived a few days ago. The roster isn't 100% at the moment.

There are a number of 53xx LFSAs delivered to Flatbush, with a few of them not registered in the system as of yet. That goes for the rest of the system too. Seems like a glitch.

Says who? WtfImma ask Scott to see what's good

5340 delivered to the bush a few hours ago. Brand spanking new, laying over at Flatbush & Utica Ave.... No space inside the depot. lol

9076 has been retired from Flatbush
