And they were intended to replace the Flxettes, right?You may be right, but I can't say either way as I wasn't very familiar with Ave B/E Bway and it's fleet. I do remember #553-565 well. The first time I saw one (I think was #562), I was shocked. First, because all of the TA buses had DD 6V-71N engines (while the PBL buses had DD 8V-71N). Second, becaused they're interiors were like the 870s at the DOT PBLs. When the TA held that small group of Flxibles, I suspect that they may have hand-picked some of the "bad" units. Then, #236 may have benn the best of that group and they decided to keep it. Again, this is my guess, and I have no supporting info/facts. |
