Orion VII 4 Life Posted March 21, 2013 Share #101 Posted March 21, 2013 Sorry to have crushed your hopes, but they're coming! LOL, I'm looking forward to seeing more shit go down here at NJT. I'm sure the people are gonna wait for the next bus just to make sure they get on one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ MC Posted March 21, 2013 Share #102 Posted March 21, 2013 Yup, as heard from a friend of mine, the delivery has just begun. It's a new model, it's going to take some time, obviously...especially if NJT is holding up the order... Sorry to have crushed your hopes, but they're coming! Glad to hear the order is still ongoing. Thanks for the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaTransitMan4608 Posted April 26, 2013 Share #107 Posted April 26, 2013 Well if 7205 is out there, chances are 7203 & 7204 are too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion VII 4 Life Posted April 29, 2013 Share #113 Posted April 29, 2013 Academy MCIs are being transferred to NJT??? Damn these moves are strange.... No, Academy does some rush hour runs on the 139, have been for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfs NJT459 Posted April 29, 2013 Share #114 Posted April 29, 2013 And only on Academy (even on the NJT 139 rush hour runs) would there be on board wifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt we'll see that, NJT is public sector so they'd have to find the money for that. I'm hoping we'll have power outlets though like the MTA's Prevosts.

I'm sure they'll have outlets on em as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they'll have outlets on em as well.2008 MTA/NJT CTs have them in the back row and maybe the front too, they're covered and NJT keeps them screwed shut most of the time, when they're open and you try to plug stuff in they don't work. Not sure how MTA does it with their units though. We also have power outlets in the luggage racks all the way in the back on our other MCIs (including the CNGs) but I never tried using them.

That's so dumb. At least in our current 2008s non-reject CTs, they are available for use and surprisingly, they work. I've only had one incident where they didnt work and that was when I had a ride back on the x1 (when they were at Yukon) and ALL of them were not working/switched off. They seemed to be working/switched on all the time now since they are at Castleton. It's another reason as to why I prefer the x10 over the x1 because lately, I've been getting some dead outlets on the Yukon Prevosts where some worked and some didn't. -EDIT- I've been told that several Designline units have trickled their way into New Jersey, but they are not at Howell yet.
