Those O7 CNGs have to go as their tanks are expiring. RTS retirement is on hold for now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted December 1, 2018 Share #2628 Posted December 1, 2018 Where's 1000, 1016-1020? I'm guessing 1000 is the blueprint bus? So right now the oddballs for WF SBS is 5326-5327 and 1072. I'm assuming 1000 is gonna replace 1072 when it gets to WF, while 1072 goes to JG. Also, 1016-1017 are gonna join SBS service at WF while 1018-1020 are gonna be for local service? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should know by now that all of the pilot buses always come in last. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly thought the order was over. I knew 1108-1109 from JG arrived like a month or so ago. I just saw the roster and peeped WF is still missing a few. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melbx15 Posted December 3, 2018 Share #2631 Posted December 3, 2018 I think articulation for the bx6 is gonna happen sooner than we think because right now there are D60s and XN60s running on the bx6 local 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted December 4, 2018 Share #2633 Posted December 4, 2018 That bar in front of the farebox on some of the newest New Flyer buses we got kinda makes it hassle to dip the metrocard in the farebox. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once WF gets the rest of their allotment of XN60’s those 2 LFSAs can go to local service at WF or GH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 5328 from MCH and the rest of the LFSA’s from FB should go to WF to push out those D60’s to me that makes sense 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last checked on the rumor mill that FB's LFSA are West Farms bound.. However, that's going to wait at the earliest November/December 2019 or later since has decided to take FB's 47 XD60's for the shuttle set to begin in April 2019. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No official announcement yet. Let's wait for the right info from @East New York, @The Real and @SevenEleven However, I would say this unofficially: All of Brooklyn Division, Quill, and West Farms so far. Refer to the first page under the fleets section for the shuttle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few dispatchers stated that the MTA is planning to purchase an abandoned yard located in Bushwick Brooklyn as an Depot for the L shuttle bus services. Thats one of the reason we have another System pick taking place again before April 2019. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter pick in progress right now for Brooklyn Division? Also, are there swaps to your knowledge between Fresh Pond, Grand Avenue and Gleason associated with the general pick? (Just hope there are no route swaps forementioned with the depots) April pick is for shuttle and general?

Right now, the only bonafide depot for the shuttle is Quill, since they're actually getting buses for the M14 SBS. We will know for sure when the April system pick is finalized in the coming months. In January, the M35 is going to be split between Quill and Hale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I wonder how that's going to work) I guess for right now the Brooklyn Division rumors have died down a bit. Don't need the 38 and 43 going to GA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 43 is staying but FP is giving up their half of the 38 for the 57 & 60. The system pick(ing) is over, so any of the BK/BX/M ops can tell you what's going on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
