Please explain bus op. only unit

A swing bus is just for depot use, operator transport, or swing location bus. 4934 and 5000 are now “Swing Buses” out of ENY.

 

In additional I need everyone to read my last post in random thought.

Mainly. It's like GH with a NG running on a WF route.

6414 removed from MHV fleet.

6461 removed from QV fleet.

As posted elsewhere, 5215, 5233, and 5248 retired from MJQ. They had two other RTSes break down today, so better hope it's nothing serious.

7548 delivered to WF

According to tracker, 5768 (listed as scrap) is on the Bx40.

 

Nevermind, I confused the scrap status with 5769.

According to recent posts, 7575-7583 are at MQ. 7582 did a run on the M86 earlier.

Updates coming later today in Fleet & Depots. Please remember to go into detailed discussions, or ask questions about moves and transfers in that thread, and thank you all for being conscious of that. 

In the meanwhile, West Farms XD40 assignments are no longer temporary, and they will now be getting at least 8 the foreseeable future. They will likely another depot at some point. WF is likely going to operate on the Shuttle with any of its newer buses when needed. The last 88 buses remain unassigned at this time, and many of them will go to Depots that already operate them.  

The new XD60’s (47 of them) are being diverted from Flatbush to Quill for L train. Hale will be delayed and is not expected take delivery of a training bus until about June 2019, and delivery of its first buses in July. 

Flatbush will begin delivery one year from now in November 2019.

Unless anything changed, Quill is the last depot for regular fleet increases and all new XD40's coming in are for L train service. However, everyone please note that the depots that have them already will be getting more and may or may not be the actual buses planned for that depot when this is all done.

Again see the first page of Fleet & Depots to get a better understanding of the Xd40 fleet delivery. The lower section delivery schedule is being updated soon.
