Do you expect the MTA to do things logically? :cough: Nova lfsa numbering system in the 5200s...:cough:

I personally don't understand why ENY couldn't just collect the XDs from SI. Why was it necessary to incorporate Ulmer Park in this swap.[/b]

 

 

I would assume for mileage.

[Micstromme]

I was also hoping that either some ofthe 6500s or some of those 88xxs (both from/at ENY) WOULD DEPART ENY ALONG WITH THE EXITING B7. Does anyone else support those returns to Fresh Pond? I am excited awaiting the arrival of the NG on the B7. Who else agrees? I will also miss seeing the xds on that route.

I do have to agree that IMHO, All 90 XD-40s should be in one depot. And that depot is ENY.

Well, now that ENY is done with their moves I hope!! 19 + 26 = 45, so they'll have 45 left. Edited January 5, 2013 by ciboii22

Not sure why we (the Bush) got 9638 when they've been pushing out the '97-98 models to Ulmer Park and a few to Grand Avenue. And pretty soon they'll be all pushed out with the arrival of our new LFSAs in a few weeks.

More like in a few days. #5323 and up should be heading our way any day now. Edited January 5, 2013 by jgood6195

That hasn't been confirmed 100% yet, so I'm sticking to a "few weeks" until I hear otherwise at the depot.

I would love for the 2005 Orion VII hybrids to move back to Fresh Ponds where they were orginially assigned.

Wow, damn, LGA just got a ton more Bees:

 

#158, #162, #164, #165, #167, #168

 

66 to 63 RTS (The lone LAG 87## goes to Jamaica)

29 to 36 Orion V

What happened to #5656? Just noticed, Brooklyn only has about 500 RTS's left in service (501 to be exact). 5 to 6 years ago, we had over 800! Also, what will replace those last 9 Orion V CNGs at Spring Creek?

Actually those Orion V CNG's did get replaced they just have not retired due to FR being closed and needing a few extra buses to cover their routes.

Once things go back to normal all CP and SC's Orion V CNG's should be gone.

[MHV9218]

5 ENY O7s to Mannyville? That's a move I didn't expect, figured we'd get some of 126's NGs... I see 126 is giving up their RTSes instead, shame about that.

Any ex-126 RTSes are gonna be runners, 9638 was no exception from what I recall.

Nothing is replacing the Orion Vs at SC, those are still in service thanks to SC helping out on the Q22, Q35 and Q52. When that stops, those buses are toast!

 

 

This is what happened to 5656:

This can't be the bus that had that chunk of building material fall on it can it? I thought that was #5658?

9644 at Ulmer Park.

[XcelsiorBoii4888]

Wait so three D60s had accidents right? One with the matress, the second was when the building collapsed, what was the third one?

I'll be the judge of that because when we got 9633 from 126, it was a piece of shit when I drove it on Utica Avenue. 9633 is at UP now btw, and was out of service since October prior to the movement.

[jgood6195]

The roster has #5656-5658 out of service. Not sure why #5658 is out.
