Probably the reason fg has a few #8400's is because a few #8350"s are missing. (Like #8362) But I only counted 90 buses delivered so where are the other 10 because 103rd can only receive 40 buses.

BusHunter Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 #8386 has debuted today on the #80, escaping the 103rd radar. Dont know why 103rd got #8383 and #8388. Maybe they can swap for a couple #8400's in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the plan was just make sure FG got new buses first to knock out the remaining 6400s on the roster, and they sent up whatever buses they could free up first in the yard regardless of fleet number. And now 103rd is basically receiving what's left taking into account what @YoungBusLover mentioned above that FG has apparently reached the number CTA had in mind to initially give them (or is getting close to doing so). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fg officially has 50 now, but 103rd can only get 40 cause that's all I saw at SS. I need to take a trip over there and see if there's movement on the fence, the #600's are coming out of cold storage too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which basically brings up the question why FG and 103 had the 200 lowest numbered 1000s, but given that, the 2 garages getting the 8350s makes sense. I suppose once the electric buses get into regular service, some high number 1000s will go from C to somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you mean for now, unless you are assuming Nova is going to default on the last 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what is wrong with them but it's serious enough to not leave NY. Probably waiting on parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, why are you deprecating the product? Do you have access to the production control system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That brings up the question of whether the reason 1500s being moved to 103rd from FG instead of low numbered 1000s was to ensure that FG got its next 50 out of the next 100 8350s.

If there's 40 at SS, there's definitely been sightings if some 8350s in service on 103rd routes, it seems like they will have their 50.

YoungBusLover Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 I counted at least 15-20 left at SS most are sitting along the SS fence on 79th,A few lower #8400s were sitting on the west side of Vincennes (#8402 and #8407), I saw #8441 and #8444 earlier in the week in one of the maintenance bays. I remember seeing #8404 in the boneyard along with #8386 but i'll take another look in the boneyard today and see what's there. 103rd should have at least 15 - 20 buses by now though.

The question is will CTA even bother to do the necessary swaps to align the blocks, considering they could have just sent these buses to the "right" garage from jump.
