MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

[Fresh Pond]

Is 7303 at FP or FB or is it still awaiting acceptance from queens?

This New Flyer delivery is going rather quickly.

Tons of missing pieces from this order.

However with some exceptions with Ulmer Park and Fresh Pond receiving almost their allotment.

Will this be the same with the Novas coming in possibly in April/May.

They are being built out of order. Instead of a depot getting their entire piece at once, everyone is getting a little at a time.

[T J Trainman]

7303 will be a FP bus. 

[Novabus 5000]

7309 @ northeastern bus rebuilders

 

Actually 7307-7313 is there. 

[Bill from Maspeth]

I have a report from one of my moles that the following buses are "under the el" at Fresh Pond depot waiting scrap: 9422, 9429, 9573, 9637.

[Rick44]

Interesting, thanks for the information.

Updates:

9422, 9429, 9573, 9637 are wiped off the FP roster.

5146-5149 are now at ENY, expect more of these to be sent out over the coming weeks, as FB get's their XD's.

2401 at YU, also could be a loan, but I moved it just in case.

4919 I didn't move because I heard that one over the radio  - it's a storage thing for the snow & train shuttle operations. A couple of them should be there.

[Cait Sith]

There is no storage thing with RTSs at CS(that doesn't occur until the Summer time, usually), none has moved to CS and 4919 is back at Jamaica.

[Daniel The Cool]

9063, 9070, 9112, 9169 EN to JA. Start waving goodbye to those ENY 1996s.

Out with the old...in with the new...sort of

[Calvin]

Not a transfer but to point out that: 

 

-4251 and 4246 are not SBS wrapped

 

 

 

 

Alsi, 9072 ENY to Jamaica

9063, 9070, 9112, 9169 EN to JA. Start waving goodbye to those ENY 1996s.

seems to me that LaGuardia and Jamaica are the only 2 depots with the most of their old RTS

Unfortunately, it looks like CS will get nothing to replace its 60-plus Orion V's that are due to be scrapped.

[Kingsbridgeviewer382]

Roster updated as of 8:19 P.M. Minor edits were done and errors were corrected.

Not a move or anything like that, but I 

Saw 7304 on the B46 as I drove down Avenue I this afternoon. Had FB decals and everything.

I don't know if it was a loan or a move, but 4660 was on the Q32 today.

[Bill from Maspeth]

A visit to Eastchester today yielded the following 40'ers that are to be scrapped.  There could be more around as I didn't get to the entire depot or inside the buildings:

 

Ex Bees: 101, 184.

Orion V's: 6029, 6031, 6036, 6083, 6095, 6117, 6119, 6145, 6146, 6161, 6168, 6175, 6189, 6244, 6283, 6320, 6327, 6336, 6342.

RTS: 9292, 9408, 9419, 9426, 9496, 9582, 9586, 9606, 9608, 9613, 9618, 9669.

 

One hybrid was destroyed by fire in the rear and had the entire front end removed, presumably to be used on another bus.  No number visible but the assumed # is 6853.

 

3 New Flyer CNG's: 824, 855, 859.  The 3 Vikings were either moved or are off the property.  There are a good number of Galaxy artics pending scrap, many with parts missing.

 

Finally hybrid 4619 amongst the wrecks. The one recently involved in the recent B46 collision.  Yellow flags in my mind set off.  Either it is being held there due to court litigation and the thought arises if this bus has frame damage from the wreck, it's over.  It will be some time to determine if the bus is repairable or not.  Time will tell.

 

Lot is relatively clean because of the pending influx of RTS & Orion V's arriving later in the year.

Its a loan. CS has been sending their Orions to Jamaica for work and in turn while they are being worked on, JAM NGs are loaned to CS.

 

Too add to the comment above mine, the vikings have been sold off and are now in puerto rico.
