R32 3838 Posted March 23, 2016 Share #652 Posted March 23, 2016 I was speaking to someone who works at Jamaica depot while I was walking home and basically told me that the property between south rd all the way to next to the depot is owned by MTA, once dominos lease is up, those buildings will be torn down, they currently park buses in those buildings (warehouse along Merrick blvd) next to the depot. I suppose that will be where the new depot located. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they demolish the current building it will be rebuilt where it is now, and the addition space which MTA has actually already purchased will be used for the expansion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't surprise me because the MTA had a hard time trying to find a NEW location for Jamaica in the first place. Even that field on the west side of 165th St and Liberty Av (which is owned by York College I've been told) was another spot. So kudos to the MTA for keeping the Jamaica Depot...in Jamaica! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Far rockaway Posted April 1, 2016 Share #655 Posted April 1, 2016 I heard that ENY will get another batch of XD40'S is that true. I heard it somewhere on this forum. Just asking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousBtrain Posted April 1, 2016 Share #656 Posted April 1, 2016 I heard that ENY will get another batch of XD40'S is that true. I heard it somewhere on this forum. Just asking.Most likely because it was said that ENY wants to take their hands on all 90 2011 XD40s.Plus, Brooklyn was stated to be filled with XDs in future orders 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotham Bus Co. Posted April 2, 2016 Share #657 Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) This doesn't surprise me because the MTA had a hard time trying to find a NEW location for Jamaica in the first place. Even that field on the west side of 165th St and Liberty Av (which is owned by York College I've been told) was another spot. So kudos to the MTA for keeping the Jamaica Depot...in Jamaica! They had a hard time because they kept missing out on ideal pieces of land. The last one was a former Verizon facility off Springfield & Merrick, nestled between Stop & Shop (the former Pathmark) and the LIRR. By the time the (MTA)'s real estate people noticed it, UPS had grabbed it. Another ideal location eventually became the Home Depot on the other side of the same tracks.

Q43LTD Posted April 5, 2016 Share #660 Posted April 5, 2016 Correct. All the Brooklyn Depots will be getting Xcelsiors in the future.Doesn't that exclude Gleason and the Creek since they're CNG? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousBtrain Posted April 5, 2016 Share #661 Posted April 5, 2016 Doesn't that exclude Gleason and the Creek since they're CNG? Well even if Brooklyn was decided to only have LFS, XN40s would be in those depots anyways because nova isn't qualified to run CNGs in NYC just yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Directed at the wrong person. My apologizes. Doesn't that exclude Gleason and the Creek since they're CNG? MTA Bus just upgraded their CNG fleet so they are not due for anything CNG related until 2023 the earliest.
