I ll check next week and see if any RTSs are left on the Q-50. Some words of advice get you pics/vids of them while you still can, if its not to late.

 

As of 1:34 this morning, I saw an RTS on the Q50. I think it was 8934 but i'm not sure but it was most definately a RTS.

Not okay. I like my NG-less ENY fleet c'mon now...they didn't even have to train drivers?

 

 

no need...everything between the NG and OG, from a drivers POV, is the same. the only thing thats different is that when they do their 19a inspection before they take the bus out (which most of them don't do anyway), the the high beam and low beam head light are integrated into one unit on the NG instead of being separated like on the OG.

When the NGs came to depots brand new that already has OG (Like CS for example) they got a loaner NG for the drivers to train a couple of weeks before they got their batch of NGs. Same thing happened at LGA as well.

Idk, maybe it's because the NG is 2 1/2 feet longer than the OG.

9311, 9332 @ Jamaica

 

8901-2, 8955 and 9079 are now at Lagaurdia

 

Also for some reason 8750s status was changed to pending scrap/being scrapped

7001 has been in limbo - either Zerega, Oriskany or the NJ service center. Ought to be the best ghost ever.

185's been here since the middle of the month. 4812/4899 are the other ghosts too. One is due for its engine swap in August.

 

Do you know if 4710 is a different bus than 1000 or the same?

 

4710 = 1000

7001 not showing up on anything at QV. 4812 is supposedly still at MN, the Gleason units I meant up to 425

 

And I knew 8750 was getting scrapped but the first time I looked it up it said "pending"

 

Then afterwards "being scrapped"

Ok 8901, 8902, and 9079 are not at LGA. I just got back from there. However, 8913 from ECH is now at LGA. Regarding 8793, 8794, and *8795, it is very simple. 8793, and 8794 are at ECH storage. However, --->8795 is scrap <--- blown engine.

This is coming straight from the MTA's bus Assignment database

 

9079 is getting work done at Eastchester

 

It's current assignment is LGA Not QV.

 

Same for the other two idk what their previous assignments were
