No need to stoop to any unneccessary/negative action like..... other kids on the forums. It'll only entertain them. Just let it go and do you, man. ^_^

 

Here's hoping I'm not talking out of my ass.

 

New moves anybody? No rush, of course.

 That's what i'm going to do, I was pissed off about something so I just said that I would leave the forums. I didn't really mean it though, Now if i get on here and start cussin folks out then they gonna come at me i'm trying not to say anything.

Damn, those D60HFs are really going fast! At this rate, we could kiss the last D60HFs goodbye by 2015-2016!

TTMG, they come from the future! Good stuff as always.

 

Looks like our answer as to who may get the next set of Xcelsior artics may be answered....

 

4734 currently sitting inside Gun Hill Depot, likely for training.

 

Not good stuff. Really disappointed that those buses are gonna be beaten to death on the Bx routes all while 100th keeps getting hand-me-downs, and they would have been a good ride on the M14 if those 52-5300s hadn't come around.

Agreed, but it is what it is.

Btw, 5407-5408 are still in service, no? I see them still in the database as TU buses, and I can't imagine that 5407 would be retired considering it was basically completely rebuilt. 

 

 

They are physically in the depots, but are sitting OOS with Scrap on their windshields since the 6th of January.

 

 

Well, just got confirmation that the GPS systems in some of these buses can not be trusted. 6789 is showing being in Karnataka, India. some 8000+ miles away....Meanwhile it was in service yesterday.

Same with 6666 & 6667....

 

Last I heard, BusTime might get scrapped because its"not working". Computers are screwing up a lot and the GPSs are sending and setting the wrong information on the buses over to the network.

Sorry about the date error, did that update half asleep.

It works, I say 85% of the time perfectly. However, I can't see them scrapping the system, if anything they'll work on a solution to get it all right.

This morining I saw 4931 and 5169 both deadheading to the QV depot. While a few moments earlier, I spotted 5167 on the Q-27 perhaps QV is short?

School trippers or extra runs?

 

we do not have those lol... checked the log today before I left  @ 6:30 PM
