Is something going on with the C40LFs at SC/CP? Repaints, maintenance?

Finally 5443 gets to move, I wonder if 5440 and 5444 will move too.

That bus is at FB and I don’t think they are touching the novas in Brooklyn just yet.

For the TTMG Roster it's  showing that the Old Gens that was mentioned as loans is actually SC Now.

5444 will not be transferred (anytime soon at least). Bus has luggage racks installed for M60-SBS.

Buses have been transferred with racks intact before so let’s not jump to conclusions here.

There is absolutely no reason to transfer this particular bus any time soon. The other buses had a purpose.

Mileage.

Other routes need the service more than the M60.

Less buses needed for the spare factor.

Swapping buses out because of mileage.

9622 has made its way to KB (if it wasn't there already).

Not the reason.

Gun Hill is short.

A significant number of their artics are at the Secaucus facility for work, with some others at Zerega also for work.

Gleason just sent a decent amount to West Farms. Can this be for mileage or West Farms have some C40's being worked on?

I was listing possible reasons why buses (5443 (would) ) move when I was making this post.

If it were for mileage, Jackie Gleason would likely receive C40LFs from West Farms.

BTW, has Jackie Gleason ever had any C40LF from West Farms' original batch (266-319)?

That was not the case, given how there were a number of the Coliseum's C40LF that would have been used for the Bx6 Select which led to 303 to 319 appearing originally with the original version of the Luminator Titan Spectrum sign.

There was a plan to have SBS C40's for the Bx6??

To answer that, it's a no. After 265, it went to 320 a long time back (C40s)

Yes, there was a plan for that which got scrapped when the Coliseum ended up using their own group of the XN40 they received out of 673 to 741; 717 to 736 were the standard units used when the Bx6 Select came out before the XN60 articulated coaches came to replace them on the aforementioned line.
