Now it's time for Gleason to return  1033-1036

[MysteriousBtrain]

Can we 1. Keep away from speculation and depots "returning" specific units and 2. Keep this threads to moves only please?

Wait a minute. 3 from MCH, 2 from Quill to GA. Yeh.. This is gonna be very weird. Is this the pending B48, 57 and 60 heading back to GA?

Yes. The B13 will be kept at Fresh Pond.

That is a copy. Than my only other guess is Fresh Pond will possibly get NG’s from FB.

Aren't those 3800s hybrids the ones with the box batteries that for whatever reason the DOB didn't want running in the outer boroughs? Thought the Box battery NG's would stay in Manhattan until retirement, guess not.

As we can see. This is a different Department of Buses.

They could be at GA just for maintenance.

Nope, these buses are (for now) assigned to GA. That's why Novabus 5000 posted them.

Buses there for maintenance aren't re-assigned in the system. I'm surprised to see a lead acid bus leave Manhattan myself – it's been 10 years since the 3900s were in Brooklyn.

I’m just saying, it could be the same situation as those 2015 Novabus LFS (8107-8119) that left Jamaica Depot to Staten Island. Some of them made a stop at Michael J. Quill but never actually did a run in Manhattan...

If this is the case, then Grand Avenue has had every type of NG except for the #4600s.

Long distance moves are split to two individual moves now. Majority of SI bound transfers go to Quill but now with OMNY, they go wherever the OMNY team is, then they head to SI.
