So that a run can't arrive at the terminal as a Limited and then leave as a local (or switch to another route)? That sounds very inefficient. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prolly by the time you clear. Those 3 buses may be on the maintenance bay for work and possible pull out for tomorrow. The Kingsbridge buses don’t seem to be problematic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've gathered. 4060-4062 = Casey Stengel 4063-4064 = Fresh Pond 4065-4066 = Flatbush(both pulled in today into Flatbush from Gun Hill) 4067 = Gun Hill 4068 = Flatbush, pulled into FB today. 4069 = Grand Avenue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremiahC99 Posted May 29, 2019 Share #3961 Posted May 29, 2019 7 hours ago, paulrivera said: Gun Hill and Kingsbridge are literally two fleet swaps away from going all-Nova. That's been the plan the last 3 or 4 years, are they still aiming for that? Given that the next hybrid order could be split between New Flyer and Nova, it’s safe to say that this could be the plan. Those Nova units in there split option are to operate in depots in the Bronx and Queens. However, everything I mentioned is subject to change, so this order can possibly not be split between the two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally, there's usually an FTA tag associated with any MTA Bus orders, and I don't see any for any of the XD40s, which indicates that there won't be any for MTA Bus. But that can change. It's 100% on the XD60 batch of buses. I passed by JFK yesterday, every Xcelsior that was there was marked for NYC Bus, 7500s and a ton of 7800s alike.

Great report on the JFK situation. So as far as we know right now (correct me please) 75/76xx buses should be going to Quill, and some 78xx batches going to Jamaica and presumably West Farms (once everything is finalized). I believe Fresh Pond and Grand Avenue received their allotments for this order. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we forgotten that Grand Avenue was supposed to get artics for the B38 and Q58 conversion? Those buses can very well end up there too. And while that may have been confirmed by ENY at that time, like you said, things can change over time, so until something actually happens....Stop With These Damn Predictions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
