For some reason I think CP will still need more buses after their order ends there are still a lot of Orion's to retire.

 

at least 10 the 20 Orion V CNG's at CP are reserved for the A Shuttle. CP is still loaning many of their Orion V CNG's (on weekdays) to LGA to assist in the shortage LGA is dealing with...

 

...there's no need to bother training LGA drivers with the C40LF's during the shortage if the Orion V CNG's controls are similar to the ex-bee Orion V's. Not to mention many ex-Triboro B/O's still working for MTA Bus being used to operating Orion V CNG's back in the day.

Now what is the chance 3 2012 Nova Bus LFS articulated #5820 , #5821 at Casey Stengal Depot might go back to Micheal J. Quill Depot. 2 Micheal J. Quill Depot artic.. At least #5819 should be return back at kingsbridge Depot. #5819 still at Casey Stengal Depot.

 

as far as we are know they are staying where they are at. MJQ has 91  to divide between the M14 M23 AND M79   and about 20 will be wrapped for M34 SBS  and kb has 136 artics  so i think all is well.

 

 

also anyone know what will happen with the 2 xd40's at mjq?

Really off topic, but does anyone know what happened to these Orion 5s:

6232, 6250, 6252, 6290, 6308, 6337, 6339

 

6236

 

I heard 6290 was involved in a fire, and 6232 had some structural-related problem, but I do not know what happened to the others.

The last time I saw 6252 was in Brighton Beach when that bus as well as a few other Orion 5s from Castleton were taken by the NYPD and parked along the streets as rescue buses. The other buses in Brighton Beach were 6157 and 6248, which are back at Castleton. But 6252, no idea.

 

6290 caught fire on Hylan Boulevard near Great Kills Park this past summer on the S79...from what I heard a wire made contact with the engine and that was that. 6337 was involved in a collision on the bridge on the S79 (I think in 2008). 6339 I have no idea, but the last time I saw that bus was in 2010. 6308, I really don't know, I saw that bus a few months ago and it was fine. Maybe it's just being worked on, that's all.

6252 got flooded out during the storm. 60 pct said over the radio to bring the bus from 33rd & surf - the pct at w. 8th street. Bus couldn't make it so they brought out the boats. Bus couldn't make it through the water it was too much.

off topic...... As i remember #6232 , #6250 , #6290 were former ex Mother Clara Hale Depot.. When they re- open... i hope they can take  Orion5 well.. Guess.

i said m79   the m79's main home base is MJQ though you are right about it being based at 100th street for the rush hours   the m72 gets the standard local fleet..
