Turbo19 Posted November 15, 2012 Share #1252 Posted November 15, 2012 lol s46, s53 Many would argue that the streets the routes travel would be better served by artics, since the two sections are shorter than 40', yet have a similar turning radi.

That's only true for the D60 and possibly the XD60 (don't know for sure yet, I just assume so for the XD60 because it's a New Flyer product). The LFSA is a 40ft section with a trailing 22ft section... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trainman1251 Posted November 17, 2012 Share #1255 Posted November 17, 2012 328 Articulated Buses. Delivery delayed, schedule & TA depot assignments TBA. -256 Buses for TA: MJQ, CHA for S79, KB, WF, GH, MCH, TU/100, FLA depots -72 Buses for BC: Baisley Park, and JFK depots. *** Articulated award pushed back one year to allow the XD60 to be evaluated for up to one full year if needed. That being said, it is no longer a guarantee that any or all of the buses will be LFSA's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted November 17, 2012 Share #1260 Posted November 17, 2012 So is it that GH's buses are being sent to Quill and staying temporarily, or has Quill's order been extended? 5276, 5278, and 5284 are all at Quill, and their set was supposed to end at 5275.

Yeah we've known about this for a while. And he's pissed off because he probably wanted to keep that shuttle work for MaBSTOA. Why else would he show such anger towards another union member about more union members getting overtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East New York Posted December 5, 2012 Share #1273 Posted December 5, 2012 Here's another one. Today, a dispatcher told me that Flatbush may not give back its artics to Quill when the new ones come in. After a full survey of the damage, and the fact that winter is fast approaching, it may now take up to a year to get the service back to the way it was. Where in the hell is Flatbush going to park all those buses? However, what they could do is just double up on the Flatbush order when it arrives, and change some things around. More of Quills Nova's will be going to Stegel in the coming days. There are 30 unassigned XD60's from what I understand. If Kingsbridge does not keep all 90, signs are pointing to Quill. Enter Kingsbridge: When they get their remaining 59 or 89 buses, the will be pushing D60HF's out, and possibly their 32 LFSA's if they want to have an all-New Flyer outfit. With another 328 artics yet to be ordered, this will be very interesting to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
