4515 also at FP.

[Bill from Maspeth]

4515 also at FP.

I'm as confused as much as everybody else.  All well and good at Grand for 20 NG's for 20 Orion V's..........but what is replacing the NG's being transferred from GA to FP?

It's a 3 way swap so YU is giving GA 20 Vs so then GA is giving 20 NGs to FP and to fill in the 20 Vs that YU sent to GA, FP will send some of their original NGs to YU.

[Q43LTD]

I saw LFS's on 4 JA routes yesterday. Q4, 17, 84 and 85.

[Calvin]

wait, arent the D4500CLs at U.P before the prevost came, and can they swap some of their prevost for the D4500CTs?

I thought the point was to send NGs that didn't already have high mileage on them? Oh well, if it's the ex-SI units going back to SI, then so be it. I'm just completely lost in all these swaps.

As for UP, are they gonna lost the prevosts and consolidate them to SI? If so then good, but they should've sent back the newer MCIs instead not the older ones.

Has anyone already reported 6325 at ENY? (Just walked past ENY depot & saw it there with Yukom decals)

That's wired 6325 was training on the B62 on Bedford Ave like 2 days ago, it must've went from YU to GA to ENY

Yukon, CS(work) and other depots along the way, eventually into GA and I guess ENY. 

[Calvin]

if ENY is getting Orion 5, are they moving the hybrids?

[T J Trainman]

Nope it looks like the ENY 4900s are going to Ulmer Park.

Not exactly....2 went to Flatbush 4961 and 4962 i believe

[Kingsbridgeviewer382]

8055 at Jamaica. It was on the Q17 but still had QV stickers on.

Yeah, I saw 4962 yesterday on the 41. Didn't know 4961 was there too.. So far 4963 is the only one at UP.

[T J Trainman]

4908, 4941-43, JA - UP just arrived to the depot.

Correct me if I'm wrong wasn't 4941 scrapped due to a fire?

I think it was damaged in an accident, but I'm guessing it has been, since I haven't seen the bus at ECH recently. (early August 2013)

Thanks.  I thought that GA was sending 20 to Yukon.  Instead, FP will send 20 to Yukon instead............in effect those buses are going back to where they started from. Then 20 GA to FP.  Thanks.

Yes it was my bad, I typed that one by mistake.
