Is it confirmed yet that MV will be losing the XD40s in January or will MV keep the M66 for one more pick?

The M66 is heading back to Quill in the next pick. It's safe to assume the diesels are being sent back, though that can change.

Also, the M60 is staying put at Hale in the next pick.

Lol.....the recent NG moves is why you wait and see, just because someone says the moves are permanent, doesn't automatically mean they are....

Thought this would've been common knowledge by now, especially with how many moves have been posted ever since the inception of this thread.

3995 isn't at JFK, Bus is currently at BP still and is on the Q64 as of rn.

It turns out that it was loaned to JFK yesterday. 9009 is still at JFK, but also a loan.

The delivery of those Coneheads are taking longer than I thought.

Are the M66 trips officially on the board at MJQ?

Starting January 2024, M66 will be moved back to MJQ from MV, 7572-7591 will all be sent back to MJQ as their original home which MV will only have 1 XD40, 7568

7568 isn't going to stay at MV... It will most likely head down to Brooklyn (possibly Ulmer or Grand) or head back to Jamaica.

MTA NYC/bus depots don't keep one bus that's different to the others. It'll probably be at Quill too (Jamaica from above post)

Well the DOB has done crazy things in the past so I wouldn't rule out the possibilty of it staying in Manhattan (Either MHV keeps it ot its sent to Quill with the other 7500s).

Oh, and also wouldn't it also most likely be ENY in Brooklyn also?

ENY doesn't need an extra bus. As the people above have stated, it will either go to Quill or Brooklyn or Jamaica. It really depends if the DOB wants Jamaica to return the Castleton buses they got as compensation.

Those will likely stay at Jamaica. They basically got back what they lost when Castleton Depot was flooded and a bunch of buses were heavily damaged due to the flood waters. QV and Jamaica sent buses down to cover for Castleton's shortage, while Yukon covered some trips.

As for 7568.....the bus is technically not an oddball(I don't know why folks are trippin' over that, only difference is the number and the sign). It could end up at Quill in theory, or ENY to push a Next Gen out, or elsewhere with XD40s. It could even end up at Gun Hill, they've been having a bit of problems with those XD40s up there. Wherever it goes, it's not a big deal.

Is Jamaica expected to go full Nova Bus in the near-future?
