MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

[MysteriousBtrain]

Shouldn't 8127 be going to Jamaica...

It's likely there for 1. testing or 2. the order was sightly altered like the XD40 order.

Or the Orions in Staten Island are dropping. Either way, this is WAY too early for Castleton to be training. Stay tuned!

[Fresh Pond]

They probably gonna build Castleton's buses first and get them out the way

Yeah that's what I meant by my second reason.

[Cait Sith]

Castleton ops are already trained on Novas(unless they're gonna get retrained)....y'all forgot they had 30 of them, they're virtually the same thing!

I heard they changed the assignment order. S.I is supposed to get them after ENY now.

[Future ENY OP]

I heard they changed the assignment order. S.I is supposed to get them after ENY now.

 

Is there a possibility that SI's buses may be moving over to the mainland of Brooklyn/Manhattan or The Bronx? Once the order begins to commence?

The change actually was ENY batch was going to JA.

[MysteriousBtrain]

Hold up everyone. We all know that the changes orders sometimes. As usual, let's just keep away from speculations and wait for a reliable source to be shown showing the changes in assignments (if there is any).

That one was confirmed though.

 

Btw those rush hour M116 runs from Quill runs on school days only (Mornings)

Ok. Still wanna wait a bit til I can see all the assignment changes made for the lfs.

[Cait Sith]

Assignments can change any time.

^This. As it did.

 

8090-8119 will be leaving ENY to Jamaica. The next batch after that is Staten Island. Charleston getting 8120-8183 and Castleton getting the next batch after Charleston.

 

8127 may actually be at Charleston, I'll find out soon.

So that explains why the Orions from the Bronx and Casey Stengel were "shipped" to "The Island". This is interesting. Now everyone can relax.

Ha. Made no sense when 8090 left Jamaica then, but whatever. Assignments do change.

The maintenance people might need training though... these new Novas don't have the rear window and I wouldn't be surprised if they shuffled around some of the mechanical stuff back there.

[Kevin82693]

8125 and 8128 also spotted with Castleton depot stickers

So what would ENY get to replace those Novas

[Calvin]

2626 In-Service at Yukon with depot logos

[The TransitMan]

Older buses.

[NewFlyer 230]

So what would ENY get to replace those Novas

RTS buses maybe?

[Cait Sith]

I can confirm that 8125 is a Castleton bus.

It's registered as a Charleston bus. So it'll probably be going back to Charleston after its retraining gets done.

How so? It would've eventually had to leave to go to depots that need the training.

More than likely the RTSs they lost.

2627 is in service and now seen with Meredith logos

[R32 3838]

If i were the DOB, i would have all the 3G orion VII's sent to queens, have them at JA and CS, its odd seeing CS with XD40's

[R188 7857]

Those 3Gs need to stay in Staten Island. They are out of shape. Recently came to Staten Island, and those 3G's aren't very nice. They are vandalised heavily and filthy. The NGs look in better shape than 3Gs IMO. 

[R179 8258]

Those 3Gs can't handle Staten Island hills
