Starting Friday, April 19th at 9:45 PM up to Monday, April 29th at 5 AM, the will not run along the Esplande (between Morris Park and Dyre Av). trains runs between E 180 St and Flatbush Av (weekdays) or Bowling Green (evenings and weekends). Midnight 5-car Shuttle service will be cancelled at that time. Weekday express rush hour service will continue to run in peak direction in the Bronx, with some trains operating to/from Nereid Av. This G/O will happen as they are replacing tracks. * The Shuttle bus will be known as the Bx90 E 180 St stop -> Morris Park Ave at E 180 St Morris Park Bx90 Morris Park Ave at Hone Ave Bx90 Williamsbridge Rd at Neill Ave Pelham Pkwy Bx90 Williamsbridge Rd at Pelham Pkwy South Bx90 Williamsbridge Rd at Pelham Pkwy North Bx12 to Pelham Pkwy station - Pelham Pkwy North at Williamsbridge Rd Gun Hill Rd Bx90 Gun Hill Rd at DeWitt Pl (to E 180 St) Bx90 Gun Hill Rd at Knapp St (to Dyre Av) Bx28/Bx38 to Gun Hill Rd station - Gun Hill Rd at Seymour Ave Baychester Av Bx90 Boston Rd at Baychester Ave or Bx30 to Pelham Pkwy station Eastchester - Dyre Av stop -> Dyre Ave at Light St Transfer: Bx16 to Nereid Av station

The M1 has a slight signage change at Soho. It used to have Grand St on the bottom with Soho. Recently, it's bottom destination is Centre St instead.

3966: LGA to Zerega as a training bus.

Probably not, along with XD-40 7414. They may be used for new hires as training buses.

I remember when the had the G/O that has trains only run between 74 St-Broadway and Main St, there wouldn't be much service between Hudson Yards and Times Square. Only Shuttle buses. But, with the Auto Show this week, there's a shuttle train service back and forth 5 minutes.

4022, 4108: retired at JFK * JFK towed out their last old Gen, 3713. All former units are gone except a few that remains at Zerega.

3812: JFK Lead acid NG retired

9105: delivered to JFK

4966 is this years appearance for the NY Auto Show

There are 7 Next Generation buses that are at Eastchester. However, they are sidelined from service. Either they'll be put in storage or to LGA/JFK for removal of the units that are in the worst condition. 4247, 4345, 4485, 4487, 4488, 4506, 4588

Also has fresh repainted bonnets on each side. 1934 has the LED indicators removed on top of it.

* The single cars are seperated from the . 1934 has been broken apart of 1938, 1926, 1938 and 1942. Question is, will they link 1942 with the units around 2411-2414? But who knows, maybe the ones that were broken and not linked are used for refuse service. ** Stolen items were found by fare evaders based on the name with evidence

I wonder if Simpson St on the had the noise problem before. Or that it's different compared to what's seen for Coney Island.

3698 and 3708 are units that also is placed at Zerega. 5 units total.

4639: has been converted to a parts bus for needing parts out of the entire 134 active Next Gens at JFK - rear and side panels were removed

9330: delivered to JFK

In addition to BP's last VII's, 3682 was also transferred to JFK along with the 4. Also, 3751 was part of the last units at JFK. * 3677: JFK/ECH scrap now saved as a training bus at Zerega.

The night of March 25th was the wrap up of all Orion VII in passenger service. All retired before the new month, which is April and close to Easter Sunday. We had Orion VII Old Gens in the past out of NYCT, 6365-6905, CNG units 7560-7819 and MTA Bus, 3500-3783. 6365-6489 and 7560-7684 had green destination signs while 6490-6905, 7685-7819 and 3500-3783 had the orange color displays. 7560-7819, 6365-6689 are single lined displayed by the front door side which later on 6690-6905, 3500-3783 were introduced with route on the side and top as the location and bottom as the street indicaton (the signage by the front door but common sight on all standard and artic buses. Recently, with 3762 now in the back of JFK parking lot with no farebox spotted. These are all reflected in the update, past or present. However, this post is made to show the final units that were out of the 3 depots at MTA Bus at this time when the Novas and XD-40s are in current delivery. * Baisley Park: 3694, 3698, 3761, 3782 -> These 4 units were the only ones that weren't retired at that time but was retired at JFK instead. However, 3761 was the last Orion VII out of the said depot that had morning trips on the Q64. Which later went to JFK Depot shortly after (retired after service on the Q21). * LaGuardia: 3594, 3736 -> Both of these units ran daily even though they were at the amount of 2. But, at that time, 3 Next Gens at BP were moved while getting the 9200 XD-40s. They were put on hold and removed later during the weekend. Last run are routes Q18 and Q39. * JFK: So, I passed by JFK Depot yesterday and to put a note that not one Orion VII Old Gen was in-sight for service. As of that night, I only spotted 3713, 3756 and 3762 as they are all next to each other waiting to be towed to Eastchester. Out of the 4 units: 3700, 3708, 3756 and 3762, the last Orion VII that was in service was 3762 happened last Sunday that was said to be spotted on the Q37 but, during the 12 AM mark on Monday, the 25th, it was in between route of the Q60 around Queens Blvd. But, after completion of the 12:40 AM route from Midtown, it went back to the depot in passenger service one last time to be put in the lot. On that Monday midday, 3708 and 3751 were moved away up to the said locations in this thread (3502, 3702 are still active). [Overall final units out of the 3 depots that were retired: 3594, 3694, 3698, 3700, 3708, 3713, 3736, 3756, 3761, 3762] Side note, we had diesel converted unit, 3563 that's still at ECH scrap. Only ran in service at JFK routes and Spring Creek on the B100 and B103. The Hybrids at Spring Creek had roughly 25 units, 3525-3549 but mileage exchanged with 3575-3599 out of JFK shared with the V CNGs. Anyways, it's been a fun seeing the Old Gens from past to present for over 20 years. Also, it's the end to pressing the tape for a Stop Request as currently, we have local/limited and SBS buses with the pull cord and Please Exit through the Rear Door annoucement. And a shoutout to @The TransitMan for keeping up with the weekly updates. https://imgur.com/a/MU9LXMl

3821: V3 screens no longer in use, retired from service.

If I remember back then, don’t they use some of the units that hasn’t been in service as swing buses that’s seen by the Canarsie station on the ? Or that they rotate XD-40s to that place.

9156: delivered to JFK

I wouldn't have it 100% retired yet. it's a weekend, so, a lot of older buses are put to rest on those days.

I wonder if Queens Blvd will be fully local during late nights once the is back running all times along 63rd St. If so, then the and would be the only late night express lines.

R211 reflected cars that are in service on the Fulton St line: 4040-4059 (2 T trains for the ), 4060-4079, 4090-4149, 4160-4179, 4190-4199 (current total of 12 10-car trains for the ) with 4150-4159, 4180-4189, 4200-4209 (2 trains going testing and 1 train recently delivered). 4080-4089 are out of service for now.
