That bus is at Washington Twp getting decals. It was sent to EHT with no decals then EHT brought to Washington Twp for the decals and registers. Washington Twp is the baby CMF of the south. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
553 Bridgeton Posted February 11 Share #3628 Posted February 11 17069-17075 are now assigned to Washington Twp to replace the 5 accident buses. Didn’t see this coming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranzitfan81 Posted February 11 Share #3629 Posted February 11 It makes sense considering EHT has been helping on the 551 and 554, but I also saw on this thread that there are some 21Ks from Rockland Coaches that are going back to NJT. Maybe those should be sent to EHT. Washington Twp shouldn't get any 21Ks considering all of the accidents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I'm not sure what happened to 18004 and 18030; they've been MIA since the end of 2022. Sucks because Turnersville (Washington Twp) was the 1st garage to get the MCi D4500 CT buses in 2018. The only badly damaged buses that returned to service following their accidents were 18023, 18032 and 18044. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

553 Bridgeton Posted February 11 Share #3633 Posted February 11 (edited) 18004, 18014, 18016, 18030, 18037, 18058, 16003. As im currently hearing none of those buses will return and will be a write off. Twe gave them 18064-18068 and they had 19136/19143 to cover those buses. They complained we was getting too many buses, so they send newton Av back those 2 19000s, and took 17063/17069-17075. 13 buses from eht to replace 6 buses, make that make sense. Now we are short buses again. Only 10 decamp buses was available last night at 930pm rest are on hold until 10am to see if they can run to avoid depot delays. Washington Twp is not a 24hr garage. On Saturday/Sundays 80% of their buses sit. We help out with Washington Twp because the lack of manpower there, us helping with the 551/554 has nothing to do with the bus moves.

DCTransitFilms Posted February 15 Share #3638 Posted February 15 21246, 21249, 21250, 21251 Suburban Transit to Wayne. This likely means all 21000s from Suburban are back with NJT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mostly the MCis getting into crashes ironically not the 53s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The training at Washington Twp specifically has went to s**t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you noticed about these MCI D4500CT buses, nobody wants to do the Philadelphia runs (401, 402, 406, 408, 410 & 412) but everybody’s quick on doing the 400 & 551, especially during the evening hours. And what’s this with location changes around WRTC? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCTransitFilms Posted February 23 Share #3648 Posted February 23 6484 is at Greenville. Heard it ran the 87 earlier. Heard 6504, 6518, 6538, 6542, 6549 are at the Meadowlands storage lot. Looks like those will be next in line to return to NJT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
