The 38 needs at least 50+ to be fully artic. It could wipe out most of the NG's at GA to FP and ENY.. Since that ENY is wiping out some OG's maybe more will come down from GA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brillant93 Posted September 8, 2019 Share #152 Posted September 8, 2019 Something tells me that if the MTA wasn't forced to scrap their old artics there would have been enough to cover the B38. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or some of the buses for the Bronx that will displace the 2012-13 XD60s to Brooklyn are currently at Tuskegee Airmen Depot (100th Street for all you old timers out there) as a stand in for buses that are currently at MTA Bus. Once the MTA bus batch of 2019 XD60s come in, they will send the NYCT 2016-17 XD60s to Tuskegee Airmen and Flatbush to send off the LFSAs to the Bronx, which will then send the 2012-13 models to Grand Avenue Depot and eventually, East NY Depot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted September 12, 2019 Share #155 Posted September 12, 2019 How's it going for the B38 and Q12? Well, currently, the B38 is mostly articulated buses but, on some timings, there is bunching to up to 3 buses going to Tillary St around 4:30PM few days ago. Meanwhile, there are SBS XD-60s on the Q12 b/c some of the 4700s have broken down and being repaired but still using articulated buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the key word with the B38 and they are doing it alot and besides if not ALL Grand Avenue buses bunch with exception of the B24 and B32. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the department of buses chooses where buses go and all that but isn’t CS one of those depots with some power where they can potentially reject certain buses. I’m actually very surprised they got the 4700’s because I thought they’d go to Brooklyn. I thought CS would get some of the unwrapped 6000’s XD60s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen we could all talk about the interior and exterior of these Bronx XD60’s. However, when it’s time for their next rehab they will look like new again. Remember GA is a CMF and they got plenty of artics off this initial swap to take some out of service and do some cosmetic work. Not unlike CS their Kingsbridge batch is completely in bad shape. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man this is bad, I personally don’t see the 4700s staying at CS long term but only time will tell. I feel like Brooklyn and Queens has to swoop in and save those buses that get destroyed in the Bronx. Some of those 2014 LFS’s will probably be on their way in a few years lol. Even the R142A’s that got transferred off the to the were beat up badly. Trains were jerking like crazy, the brakes were bad, and the interiors were really dirty. Corona then had to fix all them trains up and a lot of them now run much better than they did before when they were first transferred over.

Example, 8 out of the 16 4700s go to Tuskegee in exchange for 6000s to Stengel for Q12. It happened before with MTA Bus when the Q10 has New Flyer D60-HFs that were renumbered series and exchanged in many differences to balance out the maintenance/ fleet age. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per the guidelines, can we please stay on-topic in regards to buses and NOT subway cars? In addition, I thought they were taken off the system to be converted to R-188's by the manufacturer and not NYC Transit. 2 hours ago, Future ENY OP said: At this point.

They might as well since they're periodically using some of those buses on that route. I know that they can do this in-house since, according to this YouTube video, they initially wrapped them in-house to begin with.

It would actually make sense because they can also operate on the Q44 SBS if they really had to. They could always update the displays on the 4700s though so I guess it’s a minor thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you believe would make sense to have the 6000 series XD60s go from OF to CS and have the 4700 series XD60s go there instead, and they will still have enough buses to make service? I initially hoped that CS would be getting the 4700 series XD60s while OF gets the remaining buses in their batch of 6000 series XD60s. I believe I had this on a spreadsheet I posted on a few threads a while back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
