Looks to me like the end of the line for the Q-19B at 102nd Street & Astoria Blvd.

Repowers have arrived at LaGuardia Depot. Today I spotted the following complete with LGA Depot Stickers: 8020, 8032, 8044, 8112 and 8138.

Bee Flexible already posted a picture of 8020.

Does this mean the MTA finally has confidence in LGAs maintenance department? Seriously, why does LGA put tape to hold the lights inside the bus? Hopefully this doesn't mean the repowers will only have a week of life at LGA.

8032 and 8112 are good running buses.

I was informed by a driver friend of mine sorry I cant say that persons name that the 8000s will NOT see daily service. These buses will only be used as back ups just for how long that is unknown. Also about 1 or 2 more 8000s have arrived to the LGA depot. Where are they from? I dont know. What #s are they I dont know. It looks like LGA has a total of 9 new arrivals 8 8000s and 1 Ex J.B.I. TMC # 1181. Smile

I just wanted to let you know that ANOTHER repower has arrived to LGA. It is 8211 it has JFK stickers on it. Interesting thing on this busis that it used to have a roll sign now it has the flipdot sign.

Here's a picture of 8032 at LGA depot....the bus was about to go out and I was about to catch the Q 47 for me to catch the Q 53 to FAR....when I got there,the bus stop was full then the bus finaly came and everybody try to fit on..then 8032 came to see service on the Q 53.When the bus finaly came to FAR,the driver took it out of service.I belive that was an emergency run.All this happen on Tuesday.Now I know not to take 53 during the summer time.

I rode 8138 yesterday also on the Q-53. That is 1 fast S.O.B. It seems as the 8000s are only used for the Q-53 PM rush hours........weird. Confused

2 more new arrivals to LGA. They are......8095 & 8205. These 2 buses came from Baisley Park. I saw them at LGA this evening. Please note that both of these buses have no decals on them at all. Weird. Smile
