2018 NFI XDE60 #1294 has arrived into Boston and is testing in the Silver Line Tunnel. This bus will go on the SL1, the SL2, and the SL3. Later in the year, the MBTA will get it's first all electric buses. These buses will eventually replace the AN460LF Dual Mode Fleet.
Three AN440LF's from Albany Street have gone to Quincy Garage. Two AN440LF's from Fellsway have gone to Lynn Garage. This hasn't happened in a couple of years, and I am glad that these garages have some diversity. I would like it if they went to Arborway, but there's a small chance that they might.
In other news, I might have seen the weirdest Green Line Train. I was taking a ride on Type 8 #3820, and it had its seats replaced.
These are the same type of seats you would see on the Red Line and Orange Line trains. I did not sit in them, since the train was crowded.
What a normal Type 8 looks like. Notice the green seats.
Speaking of the Green Line, 5 Type 7's have been wrapped into Suffolk University ads. They are 3644, 3665, 3671, 3674, and 3639. They look really good!
When I was taking a walk in the Longwood Medical Area, I saw a Neoplan AN440LF on the 8. Earlier I mentioned that Neoplans were going to different garages, but this bus is actually an Albany Street Garage route on a Cabot route. This bus was short-turning at Dudley probably for 2 reasons:
- return to Albany Street
- deadhead to Boston Medical Center and do a CT1 trip
- do a 170 trip
