New Flyer D60HF renumbering - remaining 5250-5509 batch being renumbered |
|
|
Posted by AMoreira81 on Tue Sep 25 19:11:13 2012 5295 is now 4708. The roof numbers on 5291 have been whited out, and I expect that this bus will become 4707. The next active bus in the series has already been renumbered 4709.Here is 4708 (ex-5295).

How many of the 5250-5509 buses are left?This is confusing. The Orion 7 NG3 ends at 4702. The 40 foot Xcelsiors start at 4810, where will NYCB squeeze these buses in, the 4700's ? So the Xcelsior artic demo [4710] will get renumbered again [from 1000, to 4710, to ????] ? |

About half retired---but that will reduce significantly once Gun Hill gets its 1300s. Given that the Xcelsior artic contract has not been officially awarded, I expect that they will be renumbered again. |

With the remumbering of the D60HF's, does that mean that these Artics are going to be sticking around a little longer or is it a bit too premature to know this yet? |

It's being done because buses with the occupied numbers are coming in any day now. This is also why some of the 1968 Flxibles were renumbered into the 7000s when the 1987 TMCs came in...they were not yet ready for retirement. |

Actually it was the 1969 Flxibles that were renumbered into the 7000's to make way for the 1985 RTS's, 3800-4218.The 1970 GM's were also renumbered to the 6000 series shortly after to make way for the 1986/1987 RTS's. This renumbering really threw off my roster. It wasn't until 20 years later or so when the renumbering rosters were posted on the web when I finally found out the original numbers. |

I wouldn't think they'd free up all the numbers up to 5999, since that would mean renumbering the new Nova artics. Then again....this IS the MTA we're talking about. Anything is possible. |

Has anyone been able to find out the original numbers of these re-numbered artics?4705 can not be 5281, as the license plate on 5281 is L-10681 and the plate on 4705 is L-10745. License plate on 5323 is L-10610. 5298 was L-10730. Let me know if you know what the re-numbered buses original numbers are. |
