RSMG106 Posted January 13, 2019 Share #2777 Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) I got a question after what happened this month. I know this is too early, but will the LFS-A assignment for MQ, 5567-5602, either replace the XD60s for SBS duties, or will it stick to the plan, and be used for the train shuttle? Edited January 13, 2019 by RSMG106 Meant to say shuttle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too early to even assume. With Cumos shake up and other things we don’t even know if there will be an L train shuttle.

Well before the shutdown was cancelled, the delivery was changed so that Quill would be getting additional XD60s and the LFSAs would be going elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems weird, but since that more than 80 XD60s are in SBS duties, it will make sense that the LFS-A should push the XD60s from MQ to OH. However, this is just my opinion.

Well based off the first page of this thread I believe both XD60S and LFSAs were supposed to go to quill. But we still don’t know what is what yet. I know the MTA still want to provide bus service for the new plan being how a train every 20 minutes is too much for people. So it could be the shuttle(if there is one) won’t be as extensive as it was for a full shutdown. So they might not even need all those buses to cover a shuttle. What I think is a guarantee is that the M14 sbs will become a thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you talking about SBS they have M23, M34/A, M60, M79 & M86 and if the M14sbs will be starting then add that to the list so Quill would need about 100 or so buses to make service/Spears local service M14A/D & split route M35 about 46 buses 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we going to have a wait and see but i think is true that the LFSA (5567-5602) if not needed for the L shuttle are supposed to push out the XD60s to Tuskegee but wait when the 2019 xd60s (6126-6286) come they will push out the older xd60s back to local service as well (6030-6125) 95 buses and not all of them are for Tuskegee so there maybe other Depots getting xd60s 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were supposed to be used for the L train shuttle. We don’t know what’s going to happen with the L train shutdown such as bus service. We can be almost certain the plan they had is going to be altered but we don’t know if they’re going to need all those buses now. The newer artics initially after the shuttle was supposed to push older artics into local service. The XD60s from 2017 aren’t quills. Right after the M train shuttle they were sent to quill and those buses helped retire their old new flyer artics. On top of that the 2017 XD60s are loaned all over the city so they aren’t where they are supposed to be at the moment. The 2019 XD60s were supposed to go for the B44, 46, and M15 sbs to push the older artics into local service. But the artics meant for Flatbush Depot were going to be used for the L train shuttle. Again we don’t know what the new plan for this shutdown is going to entail. Read the first page of this thread. If any major updates were made it will be on there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is kind of what I was getting at. We are going to have to wait and see, everything isn’t always 100% with the MTA 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely, although the MCIs out of Yukon still run on the SIMs (like the SIM5, SIM6, SIM9, etc. ) Another reason could be so that all the 2002 buses are housed at one depot (Yukon) instead of splitting them between the latter and Castleton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
