I am thinking 6671 is at SS due to how long it has been gone, maybe 6835 will be there too.

I'm surprised that few of former 77th Garage Novas (Earliest 6400s) like 6468 are still holding it down.

We have more Novas reinstated, which this week was missing only two flip dot Novas!

Missing this week: 6581, 6691, 6755, and 6835 only!

So 6581 has been gone for 4 weeks, 6691 for two weeks, 6755 for two weeks, 6835 since May .

On a trip past Forest Glen, there weren't any buses with big white crosses on them (the usual sign of a retired bus), so I don't think they are going out of service as quickly as you think. Probably little action until the 8325s and electrics start showing up.

6882 is also active.

6472 has been fitted out as a Community Bus and is kept at 77th.

6581 and 6691 have not been out since mid or late August respectively.

What I posted is what shops think is. Not necessarily 100 percent accurate I'm afraid. Around January will do a full update from departures lists.

Not to worry I'm sure we all appreciate your hard work. The lists aren't always correct that is not your fault. It just needs some time for the dust to settle then it should be correct. 

Btw that training train was out there again #3287-88 and #3225-26 were the cars

Some old Novas have returned to service even after a few months of inactivity. I guess it can sometimes take a while for the technicians at the South Shops or Forest Glen to work their magic. 6671 returned to service a few weeks ago after a long absence. 6755 is back on the street as well as of a week or two ago.

I remember about 3 weeks ago on jackson and halsted and an D40LF and a 2nd Gen Nova was going southbound. Didnt seen the unit but it was odd the Nova was going south. Is there a unit that just retired?

You said nothing about a 6400, and Halsted is a 77th route that runs Novas. Now, if you could be more specific....
