Any thoughts on #numbers and depots? I believe the numbers might be #2305-2399,#2490-2694. Depots might be:
-Ulmer park
-Castleton
-Charleston
-Meredith
-Yukon.

The MTA might just number the newer Prevost much more differently than the 90 test ones... just like those LFS-As (1200-1289 then 5770-5986 then ANOTHER series lol)

They'll probably number them into a series nobody expects, then all the buffs will have a hissy fit.

Same thing goes for the depots they'll be assigned to.........and the re-assignments of older stuff that invariably results.

I don't get why it seems they don't want to number anything in the 9700s range. The last ones were those ex QSC RTSs. and the 1300s has been some O5s. What's the deal with numbering the 5400 artics to the 1000s number or the switch of the xd60s from 1000 to 4700s? It's overcomplicating things when they have so many other numbers to choose from.

And none of it even includes the numbers freed up when LIB was replaced by NICE.

Those said Orion Vs have just been retired too. As for LIB, I think the MTA might just avoid that series for now, just in case NICE fails and the MTA re-takes it over.
