[xD4nn]

I spotted 1544 heading down to NYC this morning on I-87. It should’ve have arrived by now.

8912 is currently heading south to NYC on I-87.

8913: delivered and in-service at Jamaica.

1544 is currently en-route to LaGuardia. Once it arrives, this will conclude the 2020-22 Prevost order.

1544 has now been delivered to LaGuardia. The 2020-22 Prevost order has now been completed.

Are you sharing with us that #8912 was delivered to Jamaica Depot, which is located along Merrick Blvd OR there's someone here named "Merrick Blvd"?

I wouldn't say the rest is going to Bronx though GH have to give  up those 2 Novas to JAM which is 8356-8357 in order for GH to get 2 more XD40's in return from them and the that's it. But the other units JAM have  would primarily go to Brooklyn Depots I'm sure JAM will have some spares left as JAM is only getting 60 of the new Novas and they only have about 56 units they just gave up 3 to FP so they are down to  35 XD40's now.

[limitednyc]

I saw old roster that stated that jam had 200 buses assigned  to it pre new order. Once  they receive there  60 lfs's they will have 215 ?

To clarify counts: Jamaica has 207 buses. 172 of them being Nova LFS units (Breaking those down: 40 of the 2011's, 76 of the 2015's, and 56 of the 2022's). For Xcelsiors, they have 35, but 2 have been out of service since the Fall.

Jamaica must keep a max of 23 XD40s or they will have a shortage.

Thanks that's the info I needed.

I wonder if there’s a possibility that Jamaica receives more than 60. Queens Village acquired a few 2015/16 LFS from Staten Island.

Queens Village only got 2 extra units so that would only decrease the XD40 count to 21.

They actually received four: 8318, 8320-8321, 8328

I think those were given back due to hurricane Ida losing a few from service that results to needing repairs. I could be wrong but reason said as given back is because QV sent 8480-8485 over to Castleton before, a few days after Ida occured.

4 units aren't much though. From the math I did Jamaica will have to retain 23 XD40s if they only get 60 LFS. 
60-35=25
74-26-25=23

It's possible that Jamaica may receive more than 60 units. Castleton was originally planned to get 20 units from the 2022 order; but those plans were changed from what I heard. It looks like the entire 2022 LFS order will now be heading into Queens.

Side note: this discussion should be moved to the Fleet & Depots thread, And that is where I will post any future responses to this topic here.
