18126 was likely just helping out. Washington Twp borrows buses from Camden on a frequent basis as they're still down several buses. For instance, 17064 was helping on the 551 yesterday. But yes 18064-18085 were returned to EHT and all 19131-19141 were returned to Camden. 18000s past 18085 and 19000s past 19141 were never originally swapped.
Was 19132 or 19137 totaled in crashes or both ?

Hearing from a reliable source that the 2023 Cruiser allocation of 91 + option buses will be fulfilled by the only bidder, MCI, with D45 CRT diesel models (not the Low Entry). These buses would be assembled at the New Flyer facility in Crookston, Minnesota, the new home of the D series.
Nice bus style gonna miss this model MCI.

A video on Youtube shows 4 R32'S on a train in Fairport NY heading for scrapping numbers were 3878, 3879, 3928 and 3929. On a channel called virtual railfan . Sorry it was 3929 not 3829 typo.

Most of the cruiser buses are now staged outside of Garden State Plaza. Both Flxible Metro Ds are there along with forklifts, maintenance equipment, tow trucks and some former Wayne 9000 series coaches from Fairview helping with runs. Some MCIs are being pushed around by another MCI at the mall and some are being towed from Oradell to either the mall or elsewhere via I believe is Meadowlands wrecker. Saw it towing a Oradell cruiser outside Bergen Town
At least they were smart and got them out in time before the flooding.

They will be NF 40ft buses. Forget Nova and that would have been the only other choice. NF can easily handle a 1200 bus order. Remember Nabi is NF now.

So bus numbers in this batch end at 21334 right ? So buses are already built in the 21270's or 80's. So maybe only approx 50 buses left to be built to get to 334 buses.

It was supposed to be Proterra but now New Flyer is in the mix. So its a 50/50 shot we will see soon who gets it. I bet New Flyer since they already have their foot in the door but it could go either way.

Guessing Meadowlands doesn't need 30 artics...
The artic order is almost done only need about 20 more buses to get to 20910 the finally bus. Unless the option order of 85 buses is still in the works.

Through 20885 inspected.
So if the 25 order is 2021 models will they go back to numbers like 21801 or continue thru 21910 like we thought it would end at 20910 ?

Here's what has tracked so far: 21001-21004, 21006, 21010-21011, 21030, 21032 (tracking incorrectly as 20132), 21040-21041, 21047, 21049-21052 and 21057. Nothing has been delivered yet. 21001 made it up to Winnipeg.
NJT still maintains that this order is for 1104 coaches, and it appears that the last 33 buses will be delivered in the 2022 model year, by 2Q of that calendar year. NJT will still have hundreds of older cruisers - the 7100's, the 9000's, the 4000's and the 72-7300's. It's too early to tell if ridership will warrant the replacement of those buses.
The 4000's and 7200, 7300's are way to young to be replaced. Only 5 years old.

The first 25 buses were the option order, and the remaining buses will be part of the original 85. I don't know why they worked it that way. Anyhow, most of the buses through 20848 have now been inspected. All those newly inspected buses are heading to Big Tree so they will have 24 buses at least. I imagine Big Tree will be moving some of the lower-mileage Neoplans up to Fairview, or junking them. I'm told that through 20865 has been built, and they're still cranking out 2020 models for now.
Thanks Dave we really appreciate all the work you do keeping us up to date on the fleet. You do a fantastic job. 👍

11 buses damaged from accidents and 2 buses that are training. I can name most on how they got damaged:
5232, 5375, 5700, 6545: accident
5612, 5784: collision with each other
5757: not sure exactly I think corrosion from sea water or something I heard
5230, 5919: not damaged but are only used for training. 5919 had a failed inspection as ik from corrosion or something
5998: collided with garbage truck
6072: hit by train
6101: caught fire
6348: hit tree
That is about right I figured close to 10 not bad.

Damn, how many of these got retired already? These buses are barely a decade old....
Actually not many about 10 out of a 1,300 bus order not bad at all. Some are 11-12 years old the 5200's Most were crashes and at least one burnt up.

Too bad NJT will not take care of those 6500's that looked great before NJT starts using them.
