Too much gap here. The question isn’t When is WF getting their own XDs where that depot is CNG. The question should be “Is WF getting more XNs?” The order of 138 40’ buses was not enough but given that 4 of their routes have gone Artic, forced them to take buses from both MQ & FB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 138 XN40 order was definitely not enough. Not only that West Farms sent back buses to Gleason. At this point we are at the mercy of the Department of buses to see if and when buses will return back to Ulmer Park. Right now Grand Avenue is on the board for more XD40’s. If Fresh Pond wants to complete 65 buses allotment. They need to take from Grand Avenue. There gaps of numbers between Fresh Pond and Grand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last we all checked Ulmer Park does not want anything to do with those NG’s. DOB figured hey let’s give Ulmer Park a few NG’s to play around with until more XD40’s come in from West Farms. PS: 4572 on the B64 right now. Whoever in Bay Ridge check and see if there’s an actual UP decal on that bus.

Isn’t the 31 for Quill a temporary thing until he XE60s come in or is that permanent (the 10 additional buses stay)?

Looks like Fresh Pond decals is on that bus. If someone is in Canarsie get a visual on that bus.

trainfan22 Posted May 15, 2019 Share #3813 Posted May 15, 2019 I really hope hybrids are finally assigned to Ulmer Park, would be nice to see weather its OG or NG or a mix of both, as if they are assigned there I would imagine they would give more than 2 buses lol. Perhaps more are there that are inside the depot and have yet to hit service. That would make JG the only BK depot to never have hybrids. I hope 4532 and 4572 are running on UP routes tomorrow. I got to ride the NG Q35 today and that was so much fun, I JUST missed 4532 today when it was at Rock Parkway station heading to New Lots but I was tired and didn't feel like chasing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aemoreira81 Posted May 17, 2019 Share #3816 Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) Those buses from the 4245-78 batch being transferred to Manhattan Division...I would hope they undergo a thorough product overhaul and repaint before being inducted into Manhattan Division service. Except for 4246/63/78, they are among the last unrepainted NGs in the system. As for the Q70, that badly needs to go to articulated service, based on the crowds alone.

Hell one drove by me on the q60 a few days ago Believe those buses are actually the strange repaints done a few years back where they preserved the black fronts and angled stripes at the back. You can tell by the doors and numbering that the it's a repaint though. The only unrepainted NGs I know of are the ex-SI buses. There might be one or two Flatbush buses still running around in a partial repaint. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first, I thought UP was not getting XDE40s because they have never got hybrids in a long time. Until 2 days ago, the NG HEVs came for them from FP and now they seem ready for the XDE40s. Oh and the OG HEVs from ENY, I almost forgot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
