NewFlyer 230 Posted March 31, 2014 Share #11601 Posted March 31, 2014 203 has joined the other C40's on the Q7 so this is because of the D60's being OOS? But as I read that last post ^^^ it all makes sense now CP should win an award for helping out the most depots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojiMet86 Posted March 31, 2014 Share #11602 Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) Well, guess that's the reason why I saw College Point #563 down at JFK Airport earlier in the noon. Edited March 31, 2014 by GojiMet86 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted March 31, 2014 Share #11603 Posted March 31, 2014 Is the Q10 going all artic during the spring pick or its still a mixed bag of standards and D60HFs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SevenEleven Posted March 31, 2014 Share #11608 Posted March 31, 2014 529 and 538 are CP buses which I believe are not allowed to run on a route from a different union. That is why CP helps LGA out and SC helps JFK. Unions has nothing to do with bus transfers. They only loaned that way because that's the closest depot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlashThunder Posted April 2, 2014 Share #11612 Posted April 2, 2014 Quick question, why do buses from other borough come to Manhattan for operator training? I've seen buses from LGA, CS, JFK, JA, Grand Ave and other places on vicinity of Lexington Ave/23 street often. Why is that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that bus left 126, went up to the Boogie Down for some work, came back with that dent and nobody was talking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Via Garibaldi 8 Posted April 2, 2014 Share #11618 Posted April 2, 2014 Quick question, why do buses from other borough come to Manhattan for operator training? I've seen buses from LGA, CS, JFK, JA, Grand Ave and other places on vicinity of Lexington Ave/23 street often. Why is that? Probably because they just pull whatever spare buses they can get from whatever depots that are available. I get the feeling that they have the operator training in NYC because of all of the traffic and chaos. The thinking would be that if you can drive in Manhattan, you should be able to drive in any of the other outer boroughs or suburban areas of the city. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The buses used for training are specifically set up with a trolley brake connection in the front. This is so the instructor can stop the bus when he/she needs to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The instructor's trolley brake lever stays with the instructor. They clamp it to the first curb side stanchion. The quick connect fittings are usually mounted in a small locked box under the first bench seat on the the curb side of an RTS. In the NGs, they are usually mounted to the drivers side of the firebox, behind the drivers partition door.
