Fresh Pond Posted August 7, 2012 Share #126 Posted August 7, 2012 Yep, just like 7691 and 7746. Well those 2 were the test ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share #127 Posted August 10, 2012 I was on 7665 last night, and that has tobe the fastest OG CNG I have been on to date! I was never really a fan of the DD50G anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never really a fan of the DD50G anyway. Come to JG and ride 7576, 7583, 7586......I can assure you, you'll beg to differ. I CANNOT STAND the VII CNGs, but them buses I mentioned is the truth!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted August 11, 2012 Share #129 Posted August 11, 2012 Looking at where these buses may go....is it possible for WF to give JG Their c40lfs for JGs O7 CNGs? WF has about 54buses and gleason 65 O7s....they should swap...so that would be less parts to a depot gleason would have 230-489 and west.farms have 7560-7819....then west farms is set....then 74 more buses....divides up for mainly CP then a little more for SC and an extra 10 for gleason....gleason an all NF depot...CP an all NF depot...SC maybe if there O7 NGs get sent to either LGA or BP for those ExBees...and SC an all NF depot....does that make sense?

No.....not even in the slightest. And for the last frickin time, this is an MTA BUS order. NO extras for ANYONE other than CP and SC!! The OGs from SC might just retire some Ex-Bee Lines and MTA BUS RTSs. Nothing more, nothing less. This will have absolutely NOTHING to do with JG, WF or ANY of the VII CNGs.....

For the last time Gleason is not going to become all C40. They been doing fine with 2 types of huses to maintain since the original C40s came in along with the original batch of Orion Vs came in. Then you got the Orion VIIs that came in which made it 3 types. They been doing good all these years so why change it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T J Trainman Posted August 12, 2012 Share #133 Posted August 12, 2012 From what I have understood, there won't be any more hybrids going to LGA. RTSs will be replacing LGAs bees...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XcelsiorBoii4883 Posted August 12, 2012 Share #135 Posted August 12, 2012 Woahh so no more 3G CNGs and more C40LFs. very surprising how Orion is going bye bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T J Trainman Posted August 13, 2012 Share #136 Posted August 13, 2012 BP is getting RTSs to replace their bees as well There really is nothing to "see" about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B17EastNewYorkDepot Posted August 14, 2012 Share #137 Posted August 14, 2012 So with BP & LGA getting RTS does this mean SC Hybrids (the best looking & riding of the OGs) will stay along with the 60 C40s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T J Trainman Posted August 14, 2012 Share #138 Posted August 14, 2012 I am not really sure where those O-7s will go. My guess at this point would be JFK or FR. Actually those SC OGs won't be returning to LGA due to them having such high milage. That is why they went to SC in the first place to lower their milage.

Burrstone Posted August 14, 2012 Share #139 Posted August 14, 2012 Question for East New York or anyone that may know.... Considering these VII's were planned to be in production before Orion ceased production does that mean Orion has the parts for the ()' />'s cancelled buses on hand or would they have ordered them prior the order being built? The reason I ask is I wonder if someone wojuld get a special on these buses if they decided to pick up the ()' />'s cancelled order...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first 4 buses were already built, so Orion is now trying to find another purchaser for the bus, which will definitely get a discount. Last I heard they were going to try and offer them to NICE. And yes, they do have parts for the additional buses as well. The Oriskany, NY plant will remain open as a parts center to support the nationwide, and Canadian Orion operations for some time to come.

XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted August 17, 2012 Share #142 Posted August 17, 2012 i have a friend in CAN that i met on PS3. he went to NF plant...saw the C40LFs along with other D60LFRs xd60 xn60 and xde60s with some other 40fts like te xcelsior...and he saw our c40lfs their already painted just some dont have logos and some are still white...he said the rear doors have latches like the front of them which proves they open inward...so i think the spec change for 570-6xx will have different doors! i need to get to that plant!

Cait Sith Posted August 17, 2012 Share #146 Posted August 17, 2012 ?? theres nothing to wait and see Um, yes there is. The fact is that those NEWER buses havent gotten here yet...plus New Flyer JUST got award the extra bus order so 570 and up could NOT have been built as of yet....... And what latches are you talking about???? Until they arrive on MTA property, your post is pure speculation.... Again, let's wait and see.....

Orion VII 4 Life Posted August 17, 2012 Share #148 Posted August 17, 2012 In Canada? I thought our buses were coming out of Crookston? I believe the shells are made in Canada just like Orion's are, then get sent to the US to be outfitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailBus63 Posted August 29, 2012 Share #149 Posted August 29, 2012 In the July 27th minutes from the Central New York RTA board meeting, there is a mention that Orion has approached Centro to see if the authority is interested in purchasing three buses at the Orion plant at a 'highly discounted' price. The text does not mention what powerplant the buses have, but I'm guessing that these are the MTA pilot buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
