I've seen a number of posts at BusChat recently about what routes in the Brooklyn Div'n. may be going to the Maspeth Depot (apparently scheduled to open in Jan. 2008).
Does anyone have more info on this subject?

From what I can tell the following routes would most likely be going to Grand Ave: B15, B24, B39, B43, B47, B48, B51, B57, B60, B61, Q59. I also heard that the depot will be able to handle CNG, HEV, and Diesels so I would assume some from each category will be going to the depot. As you said the opening day is Jan 2008. Some (from buschat) claimed that there was an open house (for employees only I believe) and the depot is suppose to hold around 200+ buses. I'll try to find more info, hope this helps.

Thanks TG!
The TM had told me earlier year that they might schedule a tour of the Maspeth CMF"sometime in 2008".
If I hear anything, I'll post it here ASAP.

I was researching information about Grand Avenue Depot and found a couple of sites:

http://www.ddp-ny.com/architecture/transportation/grand.html

Hope They Help

As of now, the B48 route is running out of Grand Ave, with FP operators and staff.

It is now 32 days away until the Jan 6, 2008 opening.
