  1. Hey, that wasn't me. I used do the super express over 10 years ago & I made the trip from end to end in 39 minutes. You are talking about "Tank", You need to be better at claiming what people do, especially when anyone can tell you, I've never done anything like that my entire career. You see you've gone out of your way to avoid me, even though I wanted to HELP fix or at least obstruct what the MTA was doing to the former LLE routes & service. I now (I'm retired) can say, I offered you internal documents & to meet you with them as far back as 2008. I don't know where you get the impression that I was that B/O, when I know who & what you look like, but apparently don't know me even after I gave you a very CLEAR description & my paddle. Thanks for slandering me...
  2. https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/share/N2neqkefVrlaH3pDyiz5shabdVy08bCWF5xlLZMu6T3 Just leaving this here, oh & this. https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/share/ixaNClPJpxH6ZmDT4KXCNFqs7NcIGtoAh07nw1vpPtv
  3. 281,114 to be exact & I can confirm without a shadow of a doubt, the auction ended. Propertyroom.com can't relist something they no longer have...
  4. That auction ended. Was 9207 assigned to 126th street for its 1st depot?
  5. That makes more sense, it was sold off the roster & not for scrap. Now what is its current disposition, that is the question?
  6. I know, it never was on any scrap list MTA or otherwise, but we know the truth,Trainman!
  7. Prove to me it's scrapped, I have irrefutable proof it is certainly not. Remember I'm The Hat, Roster or not it is NOT scrapped, it furthest from a scrap yard that it ever will be...
  8. You can now officially take 9207 off the scrapped list.
  9. There are 81 items in the scope of the program, if the bus is a program bus it will get a replacemnet powertrain if needed and if has a bad trans. they will replace the trans. Some mech. issues are in the scope, some aren't e.g. a/c is not in the scope, but 9010 is having it's condensor coil replaced @ Grand.
  10. Currently @Zerega 8809,8881,8907,8933,9002,9073,9114,9163,9188,9200,9240,9259,9310 @Grand 8838,9010. @ENY for engine swap 8873. They are adding bus to the program on a one-by-one basis as needed in addition to the first 160, 30 were added for a total of 190 and now added as needed.
  11. Negative, 8991 went from ECH straight to Zerega for the "program" on or about 7/31. I picked it up Wednesday @ 1539hrs. and arrived at LGA @ 1601hrs. It was reassigned to LGA while it was being worked @ Zerega, but it didn't arrive until I picked it up on wenesday.
  12. Yes it would, but I was working, so I don't have time to "Wait director, I need a shot of this". Sorry maybe on an visit to Zerega where I am not constrained by time and need of equiptment.
  13. -This bus has orange Horison gen IV signs, the side sign is just like the C40LF. -This bus has the 380hp ISL to an Alison B500R w/ progressive shift. -This bus has an improved exhaust defuser. -This bus has the new drivers dash set up for the commuter criuser & the new MCI steering wheel. -This bus has the new DPF seperate fuel tank. -This bus has the bus time & Clever IVR & these devices take up the First 2 Street side parcel racks along with the radio. -This bus has disc brakes. -This bus has all led lighting, including the reverse and dash lights. -This bus has outlets for passenger at 6 locations throuout the bus. -This bus has American seating, but the upholsery is in a similar color and pattern of the Prevost. -This bus DOES NOT have an ultra capacitor. -This initial bus order is NOT going to MTA Bus. -The option order MAY have some go to MTA Bus if part of the order is FTA funded. -This order is NOT replacing the 7400's, the 7400's just had seat replacement and upgrade completed. -This destination of this order has NOT been determined, but are replacing 1999 & 2000 model DL3's, the fait of the reserve fleet of MCI's in ECH is still to be determined. -This informations' source, is the dpartment that ordered the bus. -I was present and the first part of the initial acceptance proceedure at Zerega. -This information is NOT up for interpretation.
  14. 4710 back @ Zerega, 2251 has it's numbers and was test driving today I saw a couple of times between 1255 & 1447hrs and as of 1752hrs is not back @ Zerega.
  15. What else did you see @ Zerega? I know what I saw Friday evening. You want the exclusive or should there be another TheHat exclusive?
  16. So much for light duty, huh. One man unit on a two man post. Well I did have the help of 4 other BO's, on the ENY & BP moves, it's just the coordination of the moves rely on FB & radio removal after the buses are used to make the PM peak. I have done one-by-one moves of as many buses before. LGA's oldest are not of issue. The ones for QV are buses that have been in & completed the "program". ECH RTS come to LGA, but as of late the BL's have no replacements in the deployment. Perhaps we may get other Nova RTS from depots. Or we may get some out of ECH storage/scrap, god help LGA if we do. I have a feeling that the rest of the buses we received from QV via Zerega "program" will leave also.
  17. The aforementioned buses at ENY CMF(Central Maint. Facility) are going to QV after being worked at the CMF.
  18. 8756,64,98,8806&10 At ENY CMF for prep to go to QV 8803 upon completion of program. All moved as a task force bus move last night. 3279,80,81 to LGA for fall pick deployment. More RTS moves to come from ECH as part of this deployment. Hold on to yor Hats! Get it Thehat, hats! I know pretty lame, but I did a 15-hour shift on these 138,8756,64,98,8806&10 along with other vendor moves and very, very beat. I also have the final fall 2012 deployment and my work is cut out for me.
  19. 2 XD40's were not accepted and are still being "treated" at NEBus to be accepted. On another note an 40ft. Nova LFS hybrid is at Zerega, I saw it in person. No details as yet, but it is there.
  20. The RTS is a bulletproof bus for our day and age. Just as the fishbowl before it, the RTS was improved over & over with each model. If buses of today were built to the same standard instead of the throw away crap like the O7, there would be no need for the BT&E program of the MTA. The BT&E shows that most buses on the market today are not able to survive the streets of New York. The fishbowls were also bulletproof and like the RTS, just care for the bulkheads, powertrain and seal the body properly to keep the harness dry and free of corosion. Those old workhorses, um I mean warhorses can last forever. That's IMHO, I could be wrong, but ask this. Why do the O7's need a midlife rehab at 4yrs. instead of 6yrs. and still SHYT PCS, traction motors & severe frame cracks that Orion needs to fix weekly at Oriskany on the NG which was an improvement over the OG?
  21. Leave it all you like, I delivered 9126 to LGA at 1537hrs. the DB you use is NOT the actual definitive location of equipt., Spear is. The DB you use is a compliation of UTS Spear and if the bus has GPS. If it does not have GPS like 9126 the DB will NOT give the assignment of the bus. 9126 is in FACT a not LGA and I drove it there, that's my job, that I am licensed & paid for. It has a pre-service inspection work order at LGA. TTMG can leave it in Eastchester, but TTMG is NOT the MTA and not the operator moving the bus and I AM PUTTING IT AT LGA. The depot control log in spear is the FACT of a buses location in the system. Decals are just that decals. 8933 has no home in the DB you use, but is in fact in Zerega, but assigned to LGA, so why doesn't it have a home in the DB? I know why, do you or your DB?
  22. As of 1500hrs 8966 is scrap, I brought it to ECH myself.
  23. 8966 is pending scrap, horizontal & vertical level 3 bulkhead cracks. Also the box/frame beam is cracked. Stick a fork in it, she's done!
