Someone mentioned 2225 is back in service. Nothing goes to scrap unless there is a warranty for the Novas. The 7000s are: 7076, 7064, 7086 & 7071. Most of the 28-30 are sitting in Charleston getting flood inspected. Yes, Castleton has 240 buses total for its local routes, the question is: how many buses can be saved?

The Nova's are done. Some of them were submerged in water for nearly 12+ hours, it simply can't be saved unless you rebuild the entire thing and the cost for the bus isn't worth it.

Notable that unlike Sandy, which was salt water (= frame rot, the reason the SI Orion Vs were retired so fast), this was mostly fresh water (and sewage). The question is really electronic issues, but it's not as cut-and-dry as a storm surge case.

This is 100% right. You should see the the underbodies of the 20 or so NABI buses that operate in Atlantic City, the underbodies were so corroded with salt water they had to get rebuilt.

I know there was some moves earlier this week, I assume they have to do with ida but with that, how many in total were flooded? And how many aren’t coming back?

Wasn't 2225 tracking yesterday or was that a glitch?

Vehicle 2225 on route SIM1C-Eltingville - Manhattan Express going ↑Midtown via Church St via 6 Av at 6 Av on Central Park S Last Seen at Aug 31 5:44:55PM

Definitely not yesterday. Didn't Ida sh#@! hit a fan in NYC only on the 1st of September?

[ParkerTheM7]

Noticed these disappeared from ttmg roster, but @SevenElevencan you confirm?

7049, 7065, 7076, and 2716 are retired.

[Calvin]

Confirmed via TTMG: 2910 no longer in passenger service. 

 

Edited September 11, 2021 by Calvin
It was listed as in service from last update with question to be in use or not. Today, no longer in place (9.10.21)

[Future ENY OP]

Apparently 4209. Stengel is removed from the roster.

Already confirmed

Just like the transfers thread y'all should read the last couple of pages before you post.

those could get new replacements since they are still new and under warranty

[R32 3838]

I wonder if any Orion VII's will be brought back from retirement due to the sudden loss of buses

Doubtful. Staten Island lost approximately 18 40 foot buses and they received 14 replacements. Gun Hill got replacements from Kingsbridge and Manhattanville Depots for the buses they gave to Castleton. Kingsbridge and Manhattanville are still in the process of receiving the newer hybrid units so they should be okay. Queens Village will likely receive more NG Hybrids to replace the buses they sent to Castleton and retire the last 44 or so of their 2007 Hybrids.

How about recently retired commuter coaches? I see quite a few of potential coach losses on the list of flooded vehicles. Has reversal of retirement ever happened in case of a recently retired, but not scrapped bus?
