You guys need to remember that some of these moves arre temporary to accomodate the hybrid recals as the buses head to and from Oriskany.

[The TransitMan]

Ah yes...feels good to be back posting on a full-time basis again. "The TransitMan" is HERE!

 

 

Now, let's see. What have I missed. Apparently quite a few things BUT the biggest thing that stood out to me was that "JACKED-UP" Q21 LTD. I knew that was not going to last. Q52 LTD will take it's place, huh? Yeah...I think that would be best.

 

Now, on to current issues:

 

4248, 4261, 4278, 4259 AT FLA

4245-4278 TO FLA

4500/4600 TO YUK/CAS

 

 

Really? That makes no sense because if Castleton gets NGs then the depot fleet age would be REAL young. Also, why get rid of the NGs (that Castleton HAD) that are currently at Yukon and Fresh Pond to get NGs back? Something is fishy. MAYBE Charleston but I don't think Castleton.

 

Not confirmed.

 

 

Ah...I real source. Thank you and IF it does happen, you'll let us know of course?

 

 

wont fla be short nealry 20 buses

 

 

Try 26. #4245-4278 (34), #4571-4630 (60)

 

 

Yeah, feels good to be back posting again!

Well unless FB is getting some RTSs or NGs from somewhere else, I can't see all those 4500-4600s being removed unless there's a replacement ready to take their spot.

Spotted 4278 on the B41 today.

3761 on the Q35, didn't have the FR stickers, I think it was either BP or SC.

Interesting, 937 is the only newly scrapped bus right? Also any update on the 53-5400s or are those at WF storage?

Yea it is its way in the back , they have sections now , when you get off the highway & make that left and theres 2 separate yards one on the left & one on the right the one on the left is for mci's & The D60Hf's , the right side is for the RTS , MCI's , C40LF's , Vikings Orion CNG's from L.I.B & Mta & That's it . Everything is too packed together now so i cant really see what I wanna see .

Very good to know! So the FB/YUK moves are definitely temporary.

4248, 4261, 4278, 4259 AT FLA 4245-4278 TO FLA 4500/4600 TO YUK/CAS

 

Those Yukon buses need to be returned back to sender.. Spotted 4248 on Flatbush/Foster.. OUT OF SERVICE with the mechanic truck being worked on at 7:25AM.

I can't see how this swap of NGs for NGs as anything to do with the recall. I fear this is an unrelated move. But I'd like to know who would ok this move when it's pretty much known 'Yuck-on' is bad with their buses. Just another case of dumping problems on to someone else.

[T J Trainman]

These moves lately make no sense. IMO They SHOULD send CSs 4200s to FLA as well. Its probaly a mileage thing.

You have nearly 900 buses on recall. Swaps are inevitable. Not saying that is why this is happening, but I'm almost sure it is a factor somewhere in the grand scheme of things. It may also have to do with maintenance, fleet mileage, and battery replacement.

[Grand Concourse]

Yeah, but I still say if it is related to the recall, then FB and YK would not be swapping buses. It would've been FB sending over buses just to cover the missing ones at YK. This instead of FB being sent back some of YK's NGs. Either way, FB got the raw end of the deal.

YUK's 42's are here temporary, not a permanent swap for FB.. FB would be at least 30 buses short.. (26) to be exact.

[Acela Express]

No one knows what's staying and what's going at Flatbush, and whether they are temporary swaps or permanent moves, so let's stop the speculation until I (the person who WORKS there) can confirm.

[S78 via Hylan]

Spotted 4608 on the S44 at St. George earlier. Will post pics later.

[trainfan22]

4278 was on the B44 today.
