I'm guessing the 4 are 5013-5016

ur right about that

[MysteriousBtrain]

So what will replace the 10 rts at WF? If the Q53 is leaving college point, maybe send some C40LFs....

[Q43LTD]

The Q53 is staying at CP

[MysteriousBtrain]

So back to the WF RTS, do they even need to be replaced?

No. Those were just extra buses for WF since the September pick added more runs to some routes.

Does anyone think or can confirm if the orion bee lines retired yet?

[tvega961]

Does anyone think or can confirm if the orion bee lines retired yet?

Not yet. 101 is the only one left at Baisley Park in service.

 

133, 164, 174, 180, 183, 184 are still in service at Eastchester (Bx23/Q50)

[T J Trainman]

The above listed Orion Vs that were just mentioned at GA have had their F/Bs and radios removed. A small select MAY get transferred to another depot. I doubt they will go to MTA Bus......

[Calvin]

Isnt it too early for the NYC Bus Orion 5s to retire?

[S78 via Hylan]

They're 15 years old, so they can be retired.

[MysteriousBtrain]

Those guys are about 15 years old. I think it's time to get rid of some.

[Kingsbridgeviewer382]

Isnt it too early for the NYC Bus Orion 5s to retire?

Those units have very bad frame damage to them so they had to be retired.

*  5011, 5025, 5028 to Flatbush from ENY

 

All of ENY's 1999 RTS is 4900s with a 5000 and 5001

 

 

* 9690 from Flatbush to Grand Av

9684 and 9686 are on the B60 right now. I did also see 9694 on the B39 at WBP earlier today.

 

I must say though that I do wonder about a few things regarding this depot. For instance, when/if GRand Avenue receives the newer/older XD40s, what will become of the 93/94/95/96xxs that the depot has inhabited over the years. I do see a few of the 95/96xxs staying put as the new deliveries will not be enough to cover all of the runs that the depot has. Also, now that it seems that the Orion Vs are receiving their retirement papers,  it seems likely that the depot (along with FP and maybe even FLatbush) will have a few younger RTS' along with XDs and Orion 7s.

 

I also hope that Queens Village receives some more NGs from JFK, as they need to do something if they wish to replace their RTS' as well. Thankfully they are only getting 20 new buses to combat the 90+ ld generation Novas.

7107 hit the road today, and notably 8944 hit service again. 

 

7622 left WF for JG.

 

4927, 4929 left JA for FB.

 

4945-4946 left FB for UP.

 

FB's last 9600s (9684-9687, 9689, 9693-9694, and 9698) all went to GA after the morning rush. All other FB 9600s were already at GA. 

 

There was some sort of shuffle with MV's NGs. 3939, 3941, and 3950 all ran on MV routes, but I believe pulled into MCH. Meanwhile 3831 and 3833 left to Quill and then MCH. Look for some movement of those buses as MCH gets its first fleet.

 

There are also two 1200s in service on the M60 SBS, either strange put-ins from 126 or the start of the OS buses moving.

[limitednyc]

you would think eventaly the hibrids from 126 and ta will wind up at mch.

[trainfan22]

I wonder if RTSs will make a return to SI, KB, GH, CS, etc as the TA wants the 6000 Orions gone most of the RTSs will stick around.

[Armani]

So many bus moves in one day!!! I'm guessing these moves are far from over
