According to Jonathan Belcher's Jan. 20th inventory (http://mysite.verizon.net/rtspcc/MBTAroster.html), these borrowed buses currently include 2119 to 2124, 2126, 2128, 2161, 2165, 2166, 2168, 2208, 2222, 2225, 2262, 2264, 2265, 2268, 2269 and 2279. |
Well, that link is now locked as you can't see his roster anymore. Is there a different link or you need special permission to view his site? |

Possibly dragging brakes?

| I heard there was an explosion just prior to the fire starting, so maybe a tire blew? |

| Does anyone know what is happening to the C40LFs? It looks like once they're finished at Everett, they move to Cabot. Are they being overhauled? |

I'd like to know if MBTA has received any new buses or if they are planning on getting new ones in the near future. I'm thinking of taking a trip down to Boston with my wife and two girls in August and I plan on documenting the trip through the lens of my camera and that includes transit photos.  |

| Still no new buses. The last ones the MBTA purchased were the 1200-series DE60LFR's in 2010. They supposedly will be ordering new buses soon to begin retiring the last of the RTS's, but no order has been placed yet. |

This appeared on NETransit yesterday:
MBTA is considering ordering 40 New Flyer 40-foot hybrid XDE40 Xcelsior buses, which would be exercised from a Connecticut DOT purchase option.
Does anyone have any more details? |

It's been rumored for a while. Supposedly the MBTA is also considering buying new CNG articulated buses to replace the 1000-series Neoplan buses. |

| The MBTA is supposed to be testing an Eldorado Axess fuel cell bus later this year. There are a few pictures of it here. |

| From the NETransit group, Billy Leazer spotted 1406 fueling up in Shrewsbury yesterday and was told that was the third bus of the day. |
