Calvin Posted February 20 Share #6377 Posted February 20 (edited) * 9272, 9277, 9278, and 9279 are present at the JFK vendor. Waiting to be delivered to LGA. Once they are at the depot, they will be around 10 units present at said location. * Also, Eastchester has completed their XD-40 order that started around October 2023 up to now February 2024. With the exception of one unit, 9354 that's subject to change. Edited February 20 by Calvin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did have a total of 30 units back then as Next Gens as their main local fleet. Gained 3 buses extra. But from the post, it's a yes. 14 minutes ago, T J Trainman said: Yes. 43 to LGA 20 to JFK/FR each. As always, subject to change. Basically, 40 in total. Although, the units rotate between the two (it may not be 20/20 but whatever is sent to FR as they also have LFS Novas in their pool) but still marked as JFK.

T J Trainman Posted February 21 Share #6382 Posted February 21 Correct but as always with the MTA, they change their minds multiple times a day, I would not be surprised at all if 9272-9354 all go to LGA at this point. Due to parts consolidations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xD4nn Posted February 21 Share #6383 Posted February 21 Looks like QV is doing maintenance on some Stengel XD40s. Which is weird considering QV hasn't had xcelsiors in more than a decade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do we know that 9354 is a training bus at JFK/FR for the operators and maintenance personnel? When they get their allotment in, maybe they'll keep it, or maybe they'll send it to Eastchester?

Looks like renovating the whole depot if the map legend is anything to go by. From the map, it looks like the wants to have electric buses at Gleason, Ulmer Park, Jamaica, ENY, Grand, KB, Gun Hill, Eastchester, QV and Hale. Personally, this map is just PR talk to me so it can make congestion pricing more acceptable to politicians and the general public. I don't really have a strong opinion on it as I haven't kept up with it as much as I should. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were only OOS and not off the internal roster. If not in the Fleet thread, then where? Just random thoughts? I thought it should concern at least the Fleet and Depots thread, just saying that this bus may be oos for awhile due to damage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted March 4 Share #6399 Posted March 4 (edited) So, this isn't completely official yet, as it's pending FTA approval, but Green Mountain Transit up in Vermont is planning to transfer 7 2013 MCI D4500CTs over to NYCT. These buses have not been used in service for some time. I can definitely see Castleton getting all 7 of these. There is a pretty good chance that these will also be in the new scheme, just completely wrapped. Whether or not the signs or the alcoas will remain will be up for debate(they'll likely get swapped out). -edit- lol to whomever that reported this on Discord. Y'all are quick!
