Also from the Southern Division, 19136 looks to be back at Newton Avenue. It is currently on the 409. It spent about a year down the 42 Freeway at Turnersville ( Washington Twp). 

18058 is fixed and back on the road as a 551 this evening.

18001 is up here too

So Washington Township is severely short, what buses are going down the Turnpike from Wayne? There were some Decamp converts that were sent up the Expressway from Egg Harbor Twp but that's not going to cut it with summer around the corner. Their neighbor Newton Avenue loans them buses too but again summer is coming and the 316 will be in service soon. 

Not sure why 18005 is in North Jersey on the 160. Washington Township garage barely has enough buses for their own routes. Plus didn't Wayne just get a bunch of 21000s from Coach USA??

Neptune is actually part of Hamilton Twp. garage. Not (yet) a garage unto itself. It only has 20 full size NABI buses.

31-foot buses are just assigned to Egg Harbor Twp. and Morris garages, for the record.

Yeah I knew that. Just wondering why they're borrowing buses from Newton Avenue (Camden). Are they short on buses?  I know they have 6100 buses up there in that part of Monmouth County. 

Camden NABI 5573 is on the 830 in Monmouth County. Not sure what garage houses 830 series routes; I am am guessing they're short buses.

Ad 18008 to the list of crashed buses at Washington Twp. EHT again has to pay the price and give up another bus. 

Wow. I saw that bus was just out last week. Do their drivers need more training or something? It's mostly the MCis getting into crashes ironically not the 53s.

which buses are accidents again? ik 18016, 18037, and 18058 are apart of the wrecked ones right now.

16003 was totalled.  18014 was also involved in an accident. Also I'm not sure what happened to 18004 and 18030; they've been MIA since the end of 2022. Sucks because Turnersville (Washington Twp) was the 1st garage to get the MCi D4500 CT buses in 2018.  The only badly damaged buses that returned to service following their accidents were 18023, 18032 and 18044.

It makes sense considering EHT has been helping on the 551 and 554, but I also saw on this thread that there are some 21Ks from Rockland Coaches that are going back to NJT. Maybe those should be sent to EHT. Washington Twp shouldn't get any 21Ks considering all of the accidents. 

21129 is on the 554, weird seeing a 21K on a Washington Twp (Turnersville) route. 

5368 is back at Newton Avenue.  It's on the 455 now.

That might stay at Market. 5348 likely heading to Washington Township soon. 5569 was at Newton for a week before it returned to Hamilton. 

5569 is still at its Home garage (Newton Ave). It's on the 413 now. 

5348 is back (sorta). It is a Washington Twp bus running on a Newton Avenue route(452). Is 5368 coming back down too?

5569 finally back at Newton Avenue.  It's on the 457 today. 

5570 is back too. On the 405 this evening.  

5569 finally back at Newton Avenue.  It's on the 457 today.

just checked the tracker its still at Market Street. On the 178. 

Got it. I guess once the remaining AC buses are repaired and put on the road; 5348 will be sent back down too.

17078 is also at Washington Township.

5346-5348 are back at Washington Township I'm hearing.

Yes they're back. 5346 and 5347 are back on the 400 this morning. Pretty sure 5348 will be making an appearance this week too.

6481 A&C to Meadowlands. Was out earlier. 

supposedly Meadowlands are also getting 5920, 6463, 6478, 6486, and 6488

As a result; 5505 and 5511 have returned to the Trenton area.  It looks like they have Camden's 5569 as well.

22902 also back in Camden, was on the 452 Wednesday ( per Mybusnow). 

That is a Camden ( Newton Avenue) bus; rode many times.  I am guessing it is not coming back.  What happened with the former AC and Coach USA buses?  I don't see that the rest of the former AC buses have been placed in service yet.

Egg Harbor does the 313/315 and helps out with the 551.

Also Washington Twp has 17067&68 while Newton Avenue has 17064-66.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.  I seriously hope that NJT considers firing that driver.  Luckily it was a light rail and not an actual train where passengers could have gotten seriously hurt or killed.

Also, those River Line trains do not move that fast.  Driver 100% tried to beat it when it was too close.

I agree. As someone from that area; I've been on the train as it approaches the WRTC stop and been on the buses entering the WRTC. The train was likely going less than 20 mph. And there's a signal light there for buses turning into the WRTC. The driver likely ran through the signal.  Hopefully no one got seriously hurt. That garage(WTWP) is already severely short buses so this is another MCI bus out of commission for a while unfortunately. 

22908 is in service, it is on the 452 this morning.

We all thought they wouldn’t make it past 2021, here we are two years, finally retired.

Those were all really good buses. I miss them.  I recall riding many of those out of Washington Twp and Newton Avenue garages when I lived in NJ.  Out of the D4500s I must say I like the 20-22Ks better than the 17-19Ks that are in the Camden and Turnersville garages now. Their C brake is better and overall they sound better.

Those south Jersey Nabis are only temporary. Academy is only helping out until njt gets enough man power hired. A lot of the one bus guys have to leagally go through the hiring process and must complete the 21 day training. Unfortunately most of the A&C were njt ops that was fired. 

Hopefully so because Washington Twp is short buses big time!!! Their NABIs are always used on MCI routes to compensate for the shortage of MCIs.  Camden NABIs are usually pulled to help them on the 400 and 403.   I know Coach USA had their own buses (6500s) and AC had a mixture of 6400s and a few 5900s....just thought there were enough buses for the NJT Takeover. 

18068 is also at Washington Twp.
