The 18000's should be up next. 35 more Cummins and then a bunch of Daimler engines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, anyone know where 17185 is? That's the Daimler DD13 demo. I don't have a VIN, a plate or any info I can look up this bus with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemackey Posted October 24, 2017 Share #332 Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) Found some 2018 D4500CT serials w/Carfax history - namely JP014786-JP014819 - don't know if these are the first of the new NJT units (said to be going to Washington Twp. garage). These are with the Cummins engines. Edited October 24, 2017 by davemackey add info 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranzitfan81 Posted October 29, 2017 Share #333 Posted October 29, 2017 Great!!! Washington Twp has been short buses for God knows how long...and the MCIs that are there are tired and have taken a beating. Hopefully their regional neighbor, Newton Avenue is after them, their MCIs are worn out and they are now short 3 due to collisions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemackey Posted November 10, 2017 Share #336 Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) First six buses of the new order, and I assume they're going in order.... 18001 - JP014768 18002-18006 - JP014786-014790 Last VIN with Carfax history, JP014819, coincides with 18035 which will be the last (for now) with a Cummins engine. 18036 and up will be Daimler DD13. NJT is bring three buses on per day, just as they did with the private carrier delivery. 553 Bridgeton let us know if you see any running in revenue yet. Googling 'mybusnow vehicle 18001' comes up dry. Edited November 10, 2017 by davemackey add info 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Googling 'mybusnow vehicle 18001' comes up dry. Meanwhile Rockland Coaches, and Trans-Bridge still haven’t gotten theirs yet. But then again Suburban and Academy are still running around with older MCIs so I’m guessing that’s going to be a later order for them... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemackey Posted November 26, 2017 Share #338 Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) 18000's are running in revenue as of today! 18002 and 18004 among the sightings. 18004 running right now on the 554 heading towards the PATCO high speed line.
