5641, 5639, and 5637 from the farm in the house @ 126. We should be getting 2 more 56xx's tonight if they're here somewhere already. And even thought I bad mouth MaBSTOA maintenance a lot (because the rightfully deserve it), I can't say anyrhing bad about Westfarms. Mechanically, they are on par with the best of the best (126th of corse). From a cosmetic POV, they surpass almost every depot I know of. Every time I go there to get parts I'm amazed at how clean most of their buses look. If i weren't a TA employee, I wouldn't mind working there at all.

 

**EDIT** 5636 and 5638 also here from westfarms

Add 4319, and 4323 to the mix. Spotted 4319 on the X17c Last night on Park Avenue South and 32nd, and spotted 4323 speeding down to 23rd and 5th. All around 7pm.

 

2193 now at Meredith Avenue with corresponding decals.

 

This AM spotted: 2035, 2066, 2084, 2078, and 2077 on 23rd deadheading back to Ulmer Park with corresponding decals.

So I guess with KB and WF getting Nova Artics, the 1000s at 126th St are on their way out.

When did 9082 end up at Ulmer Park?

Last I checked, it was at Flatbush. It's a good bus, but I remember having engine overheating issues with it about 2 months ago.

 

9082 was at fb it used to be at ulmer park like a while back

 

 

9082 is at West farms with UP stickers, saw it on the Bx35 and Bx18

 

They never took the u.p stickers off

 

Probably old news, but: 247 and 248 at JG - saw both on the B9 early this month. Finally something NEW [to me] at JG!

 

 

247 & 248 been at jg for like a week and a half , i saw it today also this morning I think 248 on the 8 i was about to get on the highway and i saw it by dyker park

Not sure when that happened, but Flatbush decals were on there. The only bus that had UP decals months ago was 8756.

 

 

Oh , well then I guess they ripped the fb logos off and underneath is ulmer park stickers . Most buses are like that they just slap a sticker over the other one .

Quill does do trippers, many of them. 5613 was also on the M86 today.

 

Aside from that, depot sticker-wise, I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case. Manhattanville had Quill stickers on the 6692-6722 fleet for close to six months on some buses, 100th is often late with stickers as well.

 

It could also be that the depot didn't have any in stock...just recently I tried getting a WF decal and they were all out.
