[Q43LTD]

So Eastchester will be the final resting place of the bees?

God, I hope not. Those buses have a few good years left in them.

[Future ENY OP]

5074 back to MJQ from UP.

[T J Trainman]

This is most likely the end for the bees.

Are you serious? Those buses are 18 years old.

567 and 568 are now in Spring Creek Depot.

I don't think so. I think it's still at Jamaica.

[MHV9218]

6473 at Manhattanville from QV.

[paulrivera]

1268 is at Gun Hill on the Bx28 with SBS wrap.

 

Also, 5312-5314 now have SBS wrap and running on the Bx12 and 578x (2 or 3, forgot) is also at GH on the Bx12. Major SBS fleet swap is in progress apparently.

 

Also, 183 at is indeed at EC running on the Q50.

[T J Trainman]

Ok, does any one have a "some what" updated roster? I'm losing track as to what is going on with these moves....

174 at JFK or FR?

oh its cause last week i saw 5028 on the B36 

[S78 via Hylan]

Don't know if it's been mentioned or not, but 5416 is at JFK. I saw it on the Q10 a few times this week.

is it going to be renumbered?

WTF?!?! And so it seems the bees are spreading again...

[R32 3838]

JFK is very short and short drivers, they just fired 10 drivers for stealing runs, don't be surprised if you see a spring creek bus on a JFK route again

I thought JFK improved from its Green Line Days. SMH

[S78 via Hylan]

is it going to be renumbered?

Most likely not since there is no other bus numbered 5416, but you never know.

Forgive my stupidity but what does stealing runs mean?

[MHV9218]

^ Unless the terminology has changed, used to mean taking another op's piece.

Tons of the 1000-series buses were numbered higher than any other bus -- maybe the majority even. I mean, even 5508 got renumbered, that's way up there. So yeah, I'd bet on a renumber eventually.

how do you steal a run?

[Fresh Pond]

4457 is at QV (dunno if it was reported)...seen it on the shuttle

 

...just found out there's an shuttle apparently

You may be right on that. I had forgotten that they renumbered buses that were as high as the 5500's.

I don't think it was, tbh.

I also heard that QV was receiving NGs, but was starting to get doubtful. That was, until I spotted 4479 on the Q43this afternoon.

[Cait Sith]

I'm a little curious about that as well lol. I've heard of ops covering a run, but stealing???
