They should be getting the last 17 buses in that order (6109-6125). At least that’s what I have on my spreadsheet. Tuskegee Airmen should be getting LaGuardia’s batch to start pushing out buses to the Bronx and push the GH and KB XD60s to Brooklyn.

Where would those XD60’s go? Grand Avenue, Stengel and Gleason. I’m not 100% if ENY is currently artic ready to receive XD60’s just yet.

I’m making an educated guess that once the XE’s begin to hit service (something I’m waiting for), the 2016-17 XD60s could make their way to FB. Also, I hope the new B46 SBS artics make their way onto runs in the 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM slot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda threw that out there since they may do maintenance on those GH/KB buses if GA CMF get buried with work. I’ll say this if there’s another conversion for Gleason I’ll say the B68. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brillant93 Posted December 6, 2019 Share #4511 Posted December 6, 2019 Gleason is a CNG depot so they won’t be getting any diesel artics. I think those XD60s from the Bronx are going to wherever the MTA decides. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at West Farms. Those two depots are entirely different. When Gleason converted to CNG, they kept enough fuel pumps to refuel their trucks and such along with whatever buses they get(like the metrocard bus). West Farms never saw a full conversion to CNG, hence why they have a ton of diesel articulated buses and some 40fters remaining. Before the C40LFs(not the old, retired ones) and the XN40s were even a thing, West Farms was still largely a diesel depot.

And to add on to that, 262 suddenly appeared in the depot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them made a stop at Michael J. Quill but never actually did a run in Manhattan... Definitely not the same situation.. I saw the conga line of some of those Jamaica buses heading to Quill via West Side Highway than to Yukon.. Those buses were on a brief stay overnight than transferred to Yukon. As @MHV9218 indicated buses going in for routine maintenance at GA, ENY, Zerega CMF don't get mentioned. So for what it appears for now. Those buses are property of Grand Avenue. Now begs the question will GA move some of their NG's back to Fresh Pond if they pick up more from Manhattan?

As of this post, 3894 is in service on the B62. As for whether or not these are for keeps, give it a few days..... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
