Orion6025 Posted August 2, 2019 Share #2351 Posted August 2, 2019 I feel it's worth mentioning that the final 3 2004 Orion VII HEVs were removed from the roster today (6432, 6445, 6473. Granted 6445 didn't do anything for going on 2 months now). That's a wrap for the 2004s, next up is the continuation of the retirement of the 2005s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted August 2, 2019 Share #2352 Posted August 2, 2019 8155 is going to be out for at least a while if not scrapped. Not quite sure what happened but I've seen a pic of it with a whole tree in the windshield and a crack/possible bent frame right down the center of the front where the MTA logo is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBTA Posted August 2, 2019 Share #2354 Posted August 2, 2019 (edited) Is it fair to say that both 8155 and 6473 are scrap now? Edited August 2, 2019 by NBTA 6432 is still out.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t speak for 8155 since it could go either way (probably best for an employee to speak to that...) but 6473 yes. Also not sure how 6432 can be out when it’s no longer registered to a depot lmao 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Valiant Posted August 2, 2019 Share #2356 Posted August 2, 2019 Is 6606, 6633, 6640, 6644, 6645, 6650, 6653, 6668, 6675, 6679, 6680, 6683, 6684, 6686, 6689 still active? I don’t recall anyone mentioning them as scrap but lots of bus moves sneak by me so I’d thought I’d make sure. Also, are there any other 2005 Orion VII buses at Manhattanville Depot left besides the ones I listed above? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s still on the roster, it was out this past rush hour and it doesn’t show any of the indications of a scrapped bus (well, yet at least). What you leads to say it’s scrapped?

Yes a good while lol I could be wrong but I have a feeling that FP will be the leader well the last depo to hold on to the 2005 OGs I could be wrong it could be ENY but idk it's just based on my experience on that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far only East New York scrapped only 1. Maybe as more buses break down or worse performing buses will hit the scrap yard. Fresh Pond on the other hand could continue sending buses as needed to JFK/LGA and worse performing buses to scrap. But right now the main concern is Manhattanville as they got about 20 or less to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they got around the teens of 2005 OGs left which is ironic but they gotta go I'll make sure I fan them before they leave MHV too it's just sad to see them go off fast like that but they have too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recent NovaBus LFS order freed up space along the Bronx and Staten Island with their Next Gens. Moving those next Gens over to MHV resulted in retiring the 2005 OGs in the process. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
