At the moment Flatbush depot operators are being trained on the XD60 just so when the current fleets changes from LFSA to XD60, that the operators is equipment qualified. The information in regards to some of the current 7600's buses may get unwrapped and thrown into local service was explained during a shop gate at the depot sharing a few information to whats coming up for the depot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd can't say I'd be surprised if that LFSA was there for operator training, however I'd assume (and I could be wrong) that it's there to hit the mechanics bay for some undetermined reason(s) Edited March 17, 2019 by EastFlatbushLarry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they wanted the BK division to be all NF or majority but being how Grand Avenue is closer to depots such as MJQ than MJQ is to Zegra I could see that happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFSA on Q58(next pick)??? I thought Q58 isn't artic ready(after moving from Fresh Pond Dept).

BM5 via Woodhaven Posted March 17, 2019 Share #3270 Posted March 17, 2019 The Q58 was moved to Grand for the reason of eventual artic conversion and operation, since FP can't handle artics. Nothing surprising there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to catch it before it goes to the scrap heap. Let’s just say the top notch mechanics come from East New York. Bringing buses back to life from other places. I’ve seen the bus recently on the B45 and B65. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes. Here we go. More possible delays with this order. I guess is not too happy with Nova right now with this particular order meanwhile the LFSA60 order is moving steam ahead. Possibly by the end of the month or early April order complete. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be surprised if those buses come before 2020. If the wants new buses for the S79 SBS their best bet will be to wrap some existing NOVAs. If SI wants the NGs off the island, trading with the Bronx or Queens isn't a bad idea for the time being.
