My guess is long maintenance (possible new engine) like 4594- FB. However, overall guess bus is scrap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimategamer12c Posted August 24, 2022 Share #3936 Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) 1224 from GH Depot was seen at EC Scrap but the bus was there due to high mileage. Also the 12xx that hasn't been running for awhile is 1205,1248,1272 & 1277. 1205 hasn't ran in awhile. 1224 hasn't ran since March. 1248 hasn't ran since May. 1272 hasn't ran since June of this year. 1277 hasn't ran since July.

It’s hard to believe our first order of LFSA’s are at retirement age along with the first of the C40LF’s next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 1248, 1272 & 1277 are in storage? But then again giving how demanding the BX artic routes are in terms of buses needed, I don' t think they can afford to put buses to storage for the summer. Things could be interesting if those three buses don't reappear after Labor Day weekend. Only other thing I could think of is they need parts or are getting heavy duty work at an CMF. Can't see them starting to retire the 1200s with no new artic order for the foreseeable future. Also I thought the Nova artic is a durable bus, I would be surprised to see the TA starting to write them off at only the 12 year mark.

MysteriousBtrain Posted August 25, 2022 Share #3940 Posted August 25, 2022 The 1200's are not set for retirement until next year the earliest when the new 92 artic order is set to take place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, some 2010s are reaching their 500K mile limit early. Once any bus in the MTA hits 500,000 miles, then it has to retire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to say I don't believe it but I feel like there are plenty of buses that passed the 500k mark especially the RTS and the older MCIs.

There is no such thing as “speculation”, because speculation means assuming that these buses are retired, in this case, they’re not. The 57/58/59xx series are 11 years old. Some buses are in storage because these buses are emergency/peak hour usages. This is why many buses even before it reaches 500K miles, they will limit them to that hours. But don’t tell that to Staten Island Express buses 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
