Car body damage to control coaches

I figured I would start this out and say that 1718 was involved in a collision at prides crossing. Does that mean that coach is out of service for repairs like 1713 recently was?

Yes. 1718 took much more damage than 1713 did when it hit the vehicle. 1718 is going to be out for a while, possibly longer than 1707 was out.

I think 1721 is on it's way back. Someone posted a photo on YT of it in/near Ayer MA. Paper thingy on it shows destination of "SOMERVILLE, MA"

It means it’s heading back to bet to get final work and test it before it returns.

Yeah the photo showed it with no plow so it does need final work. It could use a good cleaning too!
