I also know the dispatcher working that day, so he can confirm. Just happened yesterday (5/31/2022), but apparently 2015 New Flyer XN40 CNG #1889 had a bad fire while working the n15 in RVC. The bus is heavily damaged, far worse than either fellow 2015 unit #1930 or their NYCT cousin, 2017 unit #808, but looks as bad as 2016 unit #673, which has since been retired. #1889 might be written off along with #1897. They seriously need to launch an investigation onto NICE's maintenance practices (or lack thereof). Also the status of 2011 Orion 7.501 NG CNG #1807 and 2012 Orion 7.501 EPA10 3G CNG #1862 is currently unknown at this time, so NICE is short about 4 buses. They might want to consider reactivating a few 2009 Orion 7.501 NG CNGs. #1797 is already roadworthy after all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite this, It MIGHT not be a total loss as by judging by the area of the damage, it seems mostly limited to the rear bulkhead area of the bus, so my earlier speculation about the condition might have been a bit premature. However, we will have to await and see. NICE is about to receive 33 2022 New Flyer XN40 CNGs too, so this incident along with #1930's from last year might delay them for a while and could get the first option order of 2022-2023 Gillig Advantage BRT PLUS CNGs first.

If anything, I think they got more Captial than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Least the NJT Portion of Transdev is doing fine (Monmouth County) 3rd XN40 in a little over a year. If this continues, an investigation will need to be launched (I suspect that one was already in progress when XN40 #1897 was in a bad accident due to break failure, so they are now down 3 XN40s currently).
