T.A. Museum Bus Holiday Run 2008

Posted by Westcode44 on Sat Nov 22 21:12:45 2008

Does anyone here on this message board have any info on when they plan to start running the T.A.museum buses in Manhattan again this Holiday Season? The R1-9 subway cars have already been announced of their operation on the "V" line. In addition, will the same bus fleet as last year operate? Any old look GM's operating? Thank You, Happy Thanksgiving to all.

I checked with Transit Museum last week and at the time they had no information on the vintage buses operating (or not) this holiday season. I hope they do operate.

I don't think it has much to do with the transit museum. The vintage bus thing is more a product of NYCT.

It certainly doesn't get as much attention as those trains do! I hope they run them again I had a good time last year, really fun to look forward to. I would not expect any of those old looks to run though, I would expect the same lineup as last year 100 2151 5117 4727 7340.

You won't see 1201 because other RTSs are still running, and to the casual observer, there is no difference between the two. 236 will not run because Roberts doesn't want it to be seen.

5227. Earlier in the thread someone mentioned that 5227 should run, but then you said it was too new looking.

I say that because of the paint scheme. Honestly I can't think of a reason it wouldn't have been out there last year.

It looks to be in fine shape and it is the only one to have a GOH. They need to roll that 1059 out as well.
