East New York Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share #3326 Posted March 27, 2019 3 hours ago, Brillant93 said: Since grand avenue has two lfsa that will be an artic implementation. Will Grand Avenue depot be a mixed CFM unlike its original plan to be just new flyer? Grand also maintains and paints hybrids as well. Technically that is a New Flyer product now, but as I mentioned a while back before they got there XD60’s that everything would rotate through grand for evaluation purposes. Theoretically they can maintain anything. EN is usually tied up with NG’s and OG Brooklyn and Bus company most times. Most of JFK’s NG’s go to EN so if EN is full a bus can be maintained at Grand. Anything major I should likely to go to EN. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything major I should likely to go to EN. This leads me to my next question which would be will Grand have permanent mixed fleet that isn’t just new flyer based? So when the 38 and 58 become artic in future will it be able to utilized a mixture? Since grand is closer to the Bronx than a depot like FB in which Zegra is the CFM for their LFSA fleet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't checking what the FB Lfsa were up to until last night so i assume it was direct from flatbush, but if it went to grand ave first, then yeah GA-WF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely went to GA. few people mentioned the direct transfer FB-GA. Now GA to WF. 5337 Is still in house at FB. Somehow it was stripped from SBS service. I’m thinking that could be the possible replacement for GA. Originally, it was heading to Kingsbridge and it got scrapped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, those FB LFSA’s could go anywhere at this point Oh, your rumor in regards to MJQ to WF is indeed valid. There’s been activity at MJQ that now confirms moves to West Farms with 5270-5301. So far 5270-5279 went to WF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was speaking with a friend and we were throwing ideas out there and 1 was Gun Hill’s 4700s to GA... in return GH takes 1200s from MCH once there order comes in...

But it was scrapped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll carry this convo in here. However, that could be a possibility. I believe the Bx36 is next for Artic conversion that’s why the influx of artics to West Farms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely a loan, IDK how LGA is short, I thought LGA had an surplus of buses due to FP hybrids going to LGA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T J Trainman Posted March 30, 2019 Share #3341 Posted March 30, 2019 Loan, and LGA is always short. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coney Island Av Posted March 31, 2019 Share #3344 Posted March 31, 2019 I'm surprised at this news. Seems like the MTA is quick enough to junk retiring fleets all at once regardless of shortage. But no one said in the scrap thread that the last seven RTS there all got sent to ECH for scrap. In fact, I only saw a few hybrid and XD40 moves to ENY yesterday and today, but IDK if it's enough to replace them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong. Employees provide a great wealth of info. However, ENY has 7 RTS left. There's no way all of them retired today and no additional XD40's came in yet. So far: 7779, 7780, 7781 and now 7782 are all in house at ENY. Looks like the FB count is at 42 RTS left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the same manner we went from 40 D60HF's to 0 is an example of how can make quick moves to take a wholesale of buses OOS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted March 31, 2019 Share #3348 Posted March 31, 2019 Buses being retired cannot be gone with all 11-20 units at once. It's a one by one process but, this is not saying that the worker is wrong. However, ENY is close to zero as well as KB's D60HF's. Just more LFSAs to be sent there, XD60s to FB and XD-40s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Sith Posted March 31, 2019 Share #3350 Posted March 31, 2019 As far as ENY's fleet goes, they've all been marked as OOS buses. Safe to say that they're done for good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
