All five of the LFSe+s numbered 5100-5104 have been delivered to the JFK vendor and are all assigned to Charleston depot.

Not sure where you got this from but none of the five units are assigned to Charleston. The numbers were also supposed to be 3475-3479, but that could have changed

Which is why I always say on this forum.

Do NOT believe everything you read from the Discord group(s).

I didn’t get any of that information from Discord.

5283, 5294, 5328, 5963: West Farms to Gun Hill

Gun Hill is short on buses, so West Farms has been loaning them Novas on a daily basis. None of them are permanent moves.

Side note, 5253 (which was mentioned to be at Quill) is back at Tuskegee.

5909 from Tuskegee to Kingsbridge. 5258 was sent back to Tuskegee in exchange.

5256 from Tuskegee to Gun Hill.

Why is gh  short busses?

 

Systemwide shortage. Most MABSTOA depots rotate units with each other every day.

And that's not even going into how many articulated routes (most notably KB) operate with 25-50% of runs using standard buses everyday.

Maintenance work.

Is that for sure, though? There are slots open in the maintenance area. Last time an XD60 was here, it spent its entire time in the maintenance area. I saw 6101 outside in the yard

There is precedent here with some Tuskegee units making their way up there strictly for maintence work, hence the original response. I couldn't tell you myself, but hopefully a reputable user can chime in here.

And a reminder for those that forgot, those units are there to supplement the Brooklyn depots that are working the (G) Shuttle this summer.

although but some units that r on loan goes into actual service or the B98, for example like if 7415 went to FP from CS, it can be on like either the B7 or the B98, whatever it is
