Calvin Posted May 22, 2017 Share #1377 Posted May 22, 2017 Was Grand Av supposed to get the XD-60s for the shuttle? Then when the train construction is complete, the buses transfers to MJQ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The buses Grand Av was gonna get are going to Quill instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Future ENY OP Posted May 22, 2017 Share #1380 Posted May 22, 2017 It might not even happen, so don't get your hopes up. According to page 1 which was updated yesterday that the contract was awarded, but I would use the word tentative, but subject to change. Correct? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share #1381 Posted May 22, 2017 Stengel won't be all Xcelsior anytime soon unless MTA makes a last minute decision to transfer out all the hybrids which as of right now isn't likely... The XD60's and the situation isn't really sorted out as of yet. MTA wants them for the shuttle and Manhattanites want them for the M14. Thing is the shutdown is next month so some type of decision needs to be made ASAP. As far as the ex-TTC buses the first isn't supposed to arrive until next year and as of right now it's still a go. There was never any decision made for it to not happen. That was just someone trying to throw a monkey wrench in Trevor's original post. According to both the TTC and MTA it's still a go. Problem is some ppl are trying to stop it because they are diesel buses. The thing is, there is nowhere else to get 200 buses in time for the shutdown. Especially not new buses. So it's more likely to happen than not. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share #1382 Posted May 22, 2017 SBS fleet updates: B82 has been pushed back from this year to next summer to allow for brand new buses to be implemented on the line. Bx6 will start this summer with XN40's, and will be converted to artic in 2018. Q52/53 will start this fall with an expedited order of XD60's. MTA is now moving to award the contract to New Flyer in short order and have the buses run off the current order. Pending assignment for LaGuardia Depot will likely be 6126-6178. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the MTA XD60s are going to be delivered this year? And they are being numbered after the NYCT order similar to the MTA XD40s in LGA?

East New York Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share #1384 Posted May 22, 2017 So the MTA XD60s are going to be delivered this year? And they are being numbered after the NYCT order similar to the MTA XD40s in LGA? Yes they will be here this year. Numbers always fall in the slot they fit best in. It only depends on the when the order starts being build. Since they will be the next artics it only makes sense for them to continue when they leave off. They always do this when orders are grouped together. The only reason it didn't happen with the Orion VII OG's is because they didn't have enough numbers to group them all together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingNas Posted May 22, 2017 Share #1388 Posted May 22, 2017 There won't be any extra buses outside of spares. Quill didn't add a new route. When the new ones arrive according to the new plan just under half of the current D60's will be shipped out and others will be retired. Ok this is what I was trying to figure out. Because according to the roster MQ has 27 Nova's and 37 D60s. So in my mind I'm saying 64 buses might just be Overkill. EVEN if it's the M14. haha. But good to know the D60s eventually will be pushed out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why it was pushed back to next year to allow for the option order of XD60's. do you know what artics will the BX6 get XD OR XN? and will the Q52 change depots or no? As mentioned before WF will become an all CNG depot by the end of next year. Ok this is what I was trying to figure out. Because according to the roster MQ has 27 Nova's and 37 D60s.

However, the final confirmation has not come down yet. They could still end up being assigned to GA for the shuttle and after that anything could happen to them. As for the M14, there are already a couple that have hit the line out of OH which has has rush hour trippers on the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlcohen Posted May 23, 2017 Share #1391 Posted May 23, 2017 I'm surprised that (so far) none of the XD40 or LFS options are going to Manhattan. Other than XE40 testing on the M42, are there any specifics on new or transferred 40' buses for Manhattan depots? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennyj17 Posted May 23, 2017 Share #1394 Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) I wonder where LGA's displaced OG's and/or NG's would go? RTS's would leave out first, 99s would probably head back to NYCT. OGs would probably be moved to JFK to kill off their 96's. NGs maybe move more to ECH to knock those 99s back to NYCT. If ECH isn't slated to get new buses itself. are there plans to put artics on the q70. Can Artics even make the turns through the Roosevelt Terminal without Jackknifing?

Future ENY OP Posted May 24, 2017 Share #1400 Posted May 24, 2017 How about Jamaica or Queens Village? Negative. Both Queens Division depots will possibly be all LFSA. Jamaica- Definitely. Queens Village: Possibly. However, both depots will end up sending their RTS to Brooklyn and Manhattan respectively if both depots become all LFSA's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
