If Jamaica's Nova bus allotment is still 60, then its tough to call (Jamaica has 53). That XD batch is 26 units so Jamaica would need to receive other buses before pushing those elsewhere.

I think Jamaica's allotment is still 60. Jamaica is unable to receive any other bus for them to boot their XD40s.

Right now, their LFS unit count is at 53. However, if Jamaica receives 7 more recent LFS making it 60 comparing their XD-40 total at 43 (5 units were deducted currently), their count will be at 31. After that, they can or cannot move anymore XD-40s except if 8356-7 makes the trade with 7507 and 7548 (not in service due to front accident) totaling it to 29.

7701-7705 was subtracted making it 38

Jamaica has 38 Xcelsiors at this time with 7701-05 supposedly at Flatbush.

7507 is apparently also going through repairs due to an accident. If they wanted to send 8356-8357 to Jamaica, they could just send 7550-7551 instead.

7507 & 7548 are both OOS at Jamaica with heavy accident damage, assuming both were on the GUNH list and will not be swapped out until they are repaired.

Are 7507 and 7548 still sitting in Jamaica or were they moved elsewhere for repairs?

Schooltripper7989 thinks he has the answers!   IDK where he gets UP from, we were under the impression that these are Gun Hill bound, until/unless the swaps between them and Jamaica isn't reversed by the time one or both of these buses are repaired.  Plus where does he get 3-5 months from?  Does he have inside information on the timeline for repairs, or is this his opinion, which he should have stated?
