At this time the option order has not been accepted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is that I may ride on the 2001-02 D4500s at CP one last time next week before the Prevost delivery starts next month. And secondly, I'm guessing that the will not takeover Academy's X23/X24 service? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depot assignments were set this week, allotments were set today. SUBJECT TO CHANGE. LFS Hybrids: Kingsbridge: 25. Manhattanville: 58. MJQ: 62. Tusgekee Airmen: 20. Options as follows, Gun Hill: 20. Manhattanville: 94. MJQ: 12 XDEs : East New York: 25. Manhattanville: 15. Hale: 45. Casey Stengel: 25. Prevost x3-45s: BP: 8 CP: 82 ECH: 48 JK/FR: 23 LGA: 22 SC: 45 YO: 39. All 50 buses for NYC Bus is rumored to go to Meredith. LFS Diesel OPTION ORDER: East New York: 69. Casey Stengel: 50. Jamaica: 20. Queens Village: 50. Castleton: 20. As always, this is SUBJECT TO CHANGE. Also, 1301 is at Plattsburgh pending delivery to the service center. I knew I may jumping the gun, and the assignments are subjected to change, but I calculated on what will the new order replace, displace, or for fleet expansion. Here's the following: LFS HEV: 25 to Kingsbridge (To Displace 25 Orion VII NG HEVs to Bus) 20 (Option) to Gun Hill (To Displace 20 Orion VII NG HEVs to Bus), 58 (94 Options=152) to Manhattanville (To Replace all 2006 Orion VII HEVs, and all 2008 Orion VII NG HEVs, and to displace most 2009 Orion VII NG HEVs to Bus) 62 (12 Options=74) to Michael J. Quill (To Replace all 2006 Orion VII HEVs, and all 2008 Orion VII NG HEVs, and to displace some 2009 Orion VII NG HEVs to Bus) 20 to Tuskegee Airmen (100th Street) (To Replace all 2008 Orion VII NG HEVs) XDE40: 25 to East New York (To Displace 25 Orion VII NG HEVs to Bus) 15 to Manhattanville (To Displace 15 Orion VII NG HEVs to Bus) 45 to Mother Clara Hale (To Replace all 2006 Orion VII HEVs, and some 2008 Orion VII NG HEVs) 25 to Casey Stengel (To Displace 25 2009 Orion VII HEVs to Bus) X-345: 8 to Baisley Park (To Replace all D4500CLs) 82 to College Point (To Replace all 2001-02 D4500s and most of the D4500CLs) 48 to Eastchester (To Replace the two remaining 2002 D4500s, and most of the D4500CLs) 23 to JFK/Far Rockaway (To Replace 23 D4500CLs) 22 to LGA (To Replace 22 D4500CLs) 45 to Spring Creek (To Replace almost all D4500CLs) 39 to Yonkers (To Replace 39 D4500CLs) Option order not accepted, but 1300-1349 are rumored for assignment for Meredith to displace most of the 2011 or 2015-16 Prevosts to Bus for replacement) LFS Diesel Option: 69 to East New York (To Displace all remaining 2009 Orion VII NG HEVs to Bus) 50 to Casey Stengel (To Displace all remaining 2009-10 Orion VII NG HEVs to Bus) 20 to Jamaica (For possible fleet expansion) 50 to Queens Village (To Replace all 2007 Orion VII HEVs) 20 to Castleton (For possible fleet expansion) I understand that this is subjected to change and the reasoning for assignment for the new orders may or may not happen, but these are my possibilities on what will happen when these new orders are assigned to the following depots. Also I am not sure if most of the 2009-10 Orion VII NG HEVs would be transferred to Bus, but we will have to wait and see.
