MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

[aemoreira81]

No wonder 5922 and 5925 went to Kingsbrige---ThermoKing issues.

[T J Trainman]

I have just been informed that 6022, and 2 unknown other 6000s from CS have arrived to the ECH depot sometime today. So far ECH depot now has a total of 6 Orion Vs for the Bx-23/Q-50 service. 6010 is already in service, it is relabled and has ECH stickers on it.

[R32 3838]

so their RTS are gonna most likely head to LGA or BP to knock out their ex Bee Lines, those 6000's can make their way to JFK as well to bump some of their RTS off to LGA or BP, BP is short 2-3 buses

Gleason now has 380-388

[limitednyc]

what's the story with the renumbering of 6000-6097 to 9700-9797.

[SevenEleven]

what's the story with the renumbering of 6000-6097 to 9700-9797.

 

 

So there won't be a fleet number conflict with the LFSAs:

According to some rumors from some bus operators, LGA may or may not get 2 Orion V units. Like i said, they may or may not get them. Most of the rumors seem to focus around #666. Only time will tell whether the rumors are false or not.

As for the #'s changing that will be happening still but it hasnt been done yet it will probably be done shortly we just have to wait , as " Seveneleven said " they are changing the #'s so there wont be any difficulty between the lfsa's and the orion v's since they are going to be numbered the same but different models .

600s to LGA? I very highly doubt that. I would have posted about that. I will say this, you will be suprised at what will replace LGAs Bees. Once I get permission I will post about it.

I wouldnt be surprise if they get replaced by another old bus. Or maybe BP's orions go to LGA when they get SC's hybrids. LGA's are from 1995 and I doubt they will get any of NYCT's newer buses because they don't want LGA to ruin the buses.

Updated as of 1:20 today... Due to the issue with the 2002-03 D60HF Thermo King HVACs, There is Five [5] CS 5900s at MQ and Seven [7] CS 5900s at KB, the rest are at CS where they should be. Also, due to the frequency in which these 5900s have been moving and since they are loaners only, the roster reflects them being at CS as they will be back at CS by the end of the weekend.

9311 is BACK at QV

[NewFlyer 230]

When Queens finally gets something good we have to give them away for a while.

[T J Trainman]

I can confirm that there are NO 600s going to LGA.

 

Also, 9150 is scrap.

Luckily I had 5920 last night on the Bx9....I noticed that acceleration is much more smoother (slower ). However, there is no chatter when coming to a complete stop like the 577x's. All in all I prefer the 59xx series.

Looks like it...and it's ahead of schedule as well.

Replace EOL Buses & Send Earlier Allotment to Kingsbridge

Edited June 29, 2012 by youngblaze

[NewFlyer 230]

What EOL buses?

[j express]

The EOL buses stand for end of life buses. The EOL buses are going to be replaced by the newer buses and go to scrap.

[T J Trainman]

Please disregard about 6022 being at ECH. I just saw 6022 on the Q-32 this afternoon. My guess is 6012? 6023? or 6032? went to ECH. Sorry for any confusion folks.

[NYCtrainfan01]

Trevor is right, These moves have certainly gone to hell. Oh and the old C40s at WF? 0_0 Are they going to stay there or is that temporary?
