8609 is back up and running. Currently working the S79+. I believe this was the LFS involved in an accident earlier this year.

Yes, 8609 returned a little while ago. They replaced the front numbers. Now they’re in a bigger text and placed similar to 5439.

6491, 6505, 6508, 6607, 6610, 6612, 6617, 6619, 6622, 6627, 6628 ENY to scrap

Sucks. I like this batch of buses... a little more than the 2014-15 batch of XD40s that pushed them out.

 

Wonder if there was something wrong with these 64/65/6600s to get them abruptly retired like this. Like for example some of the 1999 RTS had issues with the bulkheads, etc.

 

 

I thought this batch of buses would last until whenever the next batch of brand new 40FT buses arrive, guess not.

So #6490, and #6499 didn't get scrapped  yet I assume well those last two at Eastchester is holding on, and #6498 at ENY Depot is holding on too just sad to see em go like that but they have done us well over the years even if they was hated on or not.

It's Likely the batteries and the fact that they cost alot to maintain.

Just to make this clear, 6496, 6498, 6500, 6589, 6596, 6602, 6608-6611, 6615, 6620-6621, 6623-6624 are the ones still at East New York Depot and 6490, 6499, 6502 are at Eastchester Storage?

All accurate except 6502. That went to the chop shop yesterday with the rest of the batch in storage.

Are these still at JFK or have any been retired?
