Looks like KB might be getting something in return, interesting to see what happens.

Not necessarily, they have a decent spare factor.

That's normal.

Someone mentioned yesterday that the unit was on the M116. Seems 6734 was just a loan to MHV.

The post also mentioned that 3815, 3932, & 3940 were on MHV routes yesterday. All three are back at their assigned depots.

That is really weird. Maybe they want newer buses at Kingsbridge Depot?

Probably extras Quill has. They have been running the 40 ft Novas more often, Gun Hill: sometimes since they don't have the XD-60 or some of the LFSAs are on maintenance. 

[trainfan22]

The past two times I've been around the BX9 they had at least 1 40 footer on the route... maybe KB is short on artics. 

 

Also with those 15 XE60's Quill has maybe they have an surplus of Artics and could afford to transfer buses to other depots

#5575 appears  to be at KB as well.

5988, 5992, 5994 have been sent back to CS. 

6116, 6118, 6120, 6122 and 6124 returned to FB.

What about 6036, 6042?  Those didn’t make the trip yet?

Still on the Q44-SBS. Not yet or probably not.

Did 3563 retire? 

And is 6552 a diesel unit?

[NBTA]

So these moved:

5567-5573 (without 5569) MQ-GH

5575-5578 MQ-KB

Don't know the whereabouts of 5569 and 5574, but they probably moved with them as well.

#5569 is still at MJQ and #5574 is now at KB.

6552 is an old OG hybrid unit.  If it's not retired yet, it does not have  a long time remaining.

6116 FB to MQ. Currently working the M14A-SBS .
