Are backups at QV they don't have fare boxes and according to higher ups in case of an emergency they pull these for service

 

I see that #9374 is back. Was at Jamaica!

Just how accurate is this? This kinda sounds a bit farfetched....

 

I've heard one of the 38xx-series NG's are at JFK..

1300, 4705, 5412 (D60's) Storage - 126 (OS).

1300, 4705, 5412 (D60's) Storage - 126 (OS).

 

I never thought those renumbered units would enter service again... is 126th St. suffering from a shortage right now?

I guess so... If there's buses there...

Well that's what those D60's are there for. Incase of shortage.

(Now I don't understand why not bring a few 40 footers out of storage to help SI...)

I saw A New Flyer XD60 on the Whitestone Expressway in Queens. It was 4710 I think and it had a Gunhill sticker.

That would be 4780, I saw it on the Van Wyck.

Oh thanks I thought it was either 4710 or 4780 but I couldn't see the numbers clearly from where I was.

6253 at Castleton. It was on the S48. Weird how the front side has a Gun Hill depot sticker and on the back it has a Yukon sticker on it.

That's Yukon for ya, it had EC and GH logos but replaced the EC logo with the YU logo.

6253 is on the S59 as I write this. I'm guessing it was just a loan to Castleton.

9399,5079,9623,9648 & 5090 will be today's choice for SI as of 12:18pm.

[Kingsbridgeviewer382]

9575 is on the S62 again if anyone is interested.

[LTA1992]

Saw that one at 7:55am on my way to work and again just after 4 on my way home. Same area, Bay Street and Victory.

[T J Trainman]

3565 JFK to LGA.

[ciboii22]

3565 JFK to LGA.

Imagine if 3563 got transferred over too!

[Bill from Maspeth]

I received word earlier that GH depot will be losing their "shorties" ALL 75 of their NG 0-7 hybrids will be going to MTA Bus. Replacing the "shorties" as GH calls them, will be 75 1999 O-5s from possibly ECH and what ever other depots. As more info is given to me I will post it that is all for now 1 favor please? Try not to derail this topic thanks. This will happen shortly after the fall pick starts.

 

Since it was announced by MTA that all hybrids @ MTA bus will be converted to diesel, what happens to these 75 when/if they go to MTA bus?

4959 now at Quill. Spotted it on the M104. a few days ago with quill decals.

[S78 via Hylan]

6313 is back at Yukon. It's on the S74 and was also spotted on the S91 yesterday.

[4P3607]

5115 at Quill. Saw it on the M104. It really does look weird with that LED sign...

Wow. I'm suprised no one has seen it for this long.

 

(Bus move/transfer info is going to be hard from now on for the ones that know what i'm talking about).

So I found this 4900-series RTS-06 on the M22 earlier this month...

I reported 5089 & 5115 at MQ. I shot 5089 on the M9 the next day & I went to quill and saw 5115 on the roof. I knew they were going there because I asked a GM.
