GojiMet86 Posted April 2, 2019 Share #3402 Posted April 2, 2019 Does anyone know which D60HF units were supposed to have been renumbered into 136 and 137? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC it was the last unrenumbered 5500 in service and it lasted a lot longer than the other unrenumbered 5500s 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This appears to be a batch specifically for West Farms, so they can some of their existing XD40s to the depots that were supposed to get them. But of course, things change on a dime.

East New York Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share #3415 Posted April 5, 2019 We have several conflicting stories about these mystery XD40’s, and I should have details soon. We don’t have any more options and the only order possibly pending is for MTA Bus. Is this is expedited then it would make sense, however it’s not adding up right now. Deployment hasn’t changed as of today, yet a mystery 7851-7905 are officially registers as pending. Interestingly enough they show as 2018’s whereas and the batch before those are listed as 2019’s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh great, I uploaded an XN60 review(3 weeks ago) on Youtube and now I receive a mistake. Maybe this is why there aren't a sound recording for #1016-20, I knew that they sound similar as I said in my vid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are someone that dosen't pay attention (and yeah it does happen) ot ads are in place it's pretty hard to miss. Here and there a few of the hybrids that roofline ads that don’t have the Hybrid titles.

No it’s not a mistake, the newer CNG’s now have the new L9N NZ. Essentially is the exact same engine as the standard L9 now, only optimized for gas.

They did that with the M15 SBS at Hale, using their buses for service. move to TU that you mentioned, both Hale and Quill pieces Edited April 6, 2019 by Calvin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember in post 2460 of this thread that it would’ve made sense to transfer 10 2012-13 XD60s to Hale for the M35 back when the route was still there. They should do that. I still feel that the best plan for the M35 would to abolish the route entirely and replace it with an M100 extension. The regular articulated buses would then be displaced to Kingsbridge Depot. Those people in Harlem do come up with some really great ideas, but that’s for another thread to discuss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes no sense to even do that. The M35 could practically use any fleet out of Hale, as the line uses up to 4 buses at most during the rush hour. Folks must forget that Hybrids are also at Hale, which the M35 also uses. As for an M100 extension.....why!?
