Second, I don't think those number are going to go that high for Suffolk Transit. #1065. We'll wait and see but it the meantime...9661 # was chugging along on Sunrise Hwy today!!! |
Well 50 buses from 1016 would be 1065, i counted it like three or four times to make sure.
I wasn't sure what the correct number was. I saw some people saying the 99xx as 05.501 or 05.503.
Some website has the 35ft buses as 07.502 |

Seen one Gillig going bye bye on the back of a wrecker this morning. It was 1005 a.m. going westbound on Sunrise Hwy around exit 60. Could not catch number or operator as they painted everything black. Can only speculate it was from Hamton Jitney. |

It was prob either 9646 or 9647 from Sunrise, as HJ's only 96xx is still in the old paint, and i don't see HJ's 50xx's going anywhere. |

Nothing from Hampton jitney left...yet! ONLY #5041-#5042 are the ONLY Hampton Jitney buses in the new paint scheme.
Ok, so that would explain why I have not seen #9646 in a few days. However, I think #9647 is still running as I saw that bus today at work in Southampton.
By the way, I've not seen #1012-1015 in service yet. Only #1010-1011 thus far on the S92. |

I'm surprised that Sunrise has enough buses for service on the S92, if they aren't throwing all their Orion VII's to work, as they already seemed to dumped about half their 96xx's already. You said HJ was stripping 9620, so thats not seeing service any more.
I was about to call the bus 9647, i totally forgot Sunrise had 9646.
Yeah, i doubt 5041 and 5042 are going anywhere, other then their assigned routes. |

As Of 10/28/10
Due to a error on my part, bus 9646 was in correctly listed on the Retired list at the time this post was made, when in fact it wasn't retired. I have made the change and listed it back with the other buses at Sunrise Coach Lines. I am sorry for making a stupid mistake and will not do the same in the future.

Sunrise is the only company, that is known of, to retired a large amount of their 96xx buses. 9609 was retired after it burned, and 9652 was retired because it failed DOT inspection after a cracked frame and receiving a new engine at the start of this year.
Retired (Once all or most of the 96xx and 97xx fleet is retired i will list all the past fleets that have been retired by Suffolk Transit.)

The bus I seen was still in the blue colors. And tonight I seen 9646 working on CR39A, so that can go back onto the in-service list.
Does anybody know where the retirees are being taken? |

Oh it was in the old blue scheme, then it could have been any of the remaining 96xx buses at Sunrise Except 9646-9647 (as they are in the paint like the 99xx's and 50xx's), or 9620 from HJ. thats assuming that the bus you saw was a 96xx.
I have no idea where the buses are being taken.
and i'll make the change. |

Hey things happen, hard to catch numbers when passing with both vehicles doing 60. Even worse when somebody goes nuts with the black spray paint and covers everything!!

Yeah but i should have asked more what the bus looked like. When you said all black i had assumed you meant it was in the newer paint scheme, not covered with black spray paint. |

Please clear this up for me- What's junk the V's of the VII's? If its the VII's that are junk, thats really old news. Check with anybody from MTA they will tell you. Orion did not make changes to correct some problems on the VII's starting with the steering draglink that goes bad real fast. If its the V's some quality time on the lift getting rebuilt will do them wonders. |
