Hello, this post is for the FP drivers, (If any of them post here) Im trying to keep a track of any FP RTS that get transfered to the MTA Bus LGA depot. If there are any FP drivers that post on this site, could you please try to post if any bus moves are being done? So far I only have 8778, 9132 and 9150 at LGA. Many thanks for all of your help in this matter. Have a nice day.;)

Charleston might be seeing new maintenance equipment for the hybrids, these few NGs are a test grid.

What do u mean by plugs? They don't plug the hybrid buses into anything? Maybe the vacuum for the farebox n the maintenance computers but they all have same ports n plugs. Nothing different n besides the batteries are maintained by the vendors anyway they have their own equipment.

Okay. Well, that's my fault because I posted that about a few months ago regarding those batteries. That information came from a B/O who drives out of Charleston.

 

So this means that the NGs are now being pushed out a lot faster than I expected.

I was told about them , the NG's, needing plugs for the batteries. I guess that info was wrong.

The NGS are coming to FP fast. There is a growing amount of RTS in storage at the rear of the depot. first one, then 2, then 2, now 5 of them are sitting there. hopefully a B/O can get me the numbers on here.

 

I'm at the depot now and there's a few in the lot under the (M) train. They are...

 

8810, 9251, 9131, 9164, 8842, 8959, 9163, 9036

 

There's also a few 95xxs there which are most likely going to Grand for the B38 and they are...

 

9577, 9583, 9594, and 9598

 

3970 is sitting outside the depot next to that gas pump along with an OG (6527) and an RTS whose number I can't see

How many storage lots does FP have? I gotta get there 1 day. 9 buses? Very interesting.

 

I guess you can say 2...the one under the train station, and I guess you can count behind the depot in that large area as a lot

 

EDIT: in addition to the buses mentioned, 9206 is also back there
