On the latest moves it appears Chicago Garage has gotten some buses from North Park and a few from 74th 

1086 1168-1170 1175 1181 1191 1416 1430 1560 1760 1766 & 1872 NP > C

1568 6 > C

8014 8022 8060 8070 8080 8089 & 8094 6 > C

1373/1452 also 6 > C

Are these loans to replace newer vehicles used by the DNC, and cover the reroute of the 20 and 66, rather than moves?

the 87’s are expected to depart FG post DNC to neighboring garage north park per @MALTDISNEY in return for north park’s flyers.

what also is a surprise is 8715, 8719, 8721, 8722, 8727, and 8736 have entered service out of 103rd (8736 moved from Chicago Ave)

It's more accurate to say that they would be getting some of NP's New Flyers. The 8700s at FG don't number enough to put that large a dent in NP's NF count. After that we'll see how many more 8350s they get up to especially when 77th and K really didn't get that many, C got more after having already had over a hundred, 103rd has been seeing a bit more even before yesterday and this morning, and 74th has yet to see anything.

So far none of 84s from FG have been in service lately. Is it possible the 86s from K, C & FG expected to stay there for the beginning of the School Year Next Week?

Most of Kedzie's novas were sent to 77th for the DNC shuttles.

It doesn't sound like "103rd have received back their flyers from North Park at last!!!" but that C got them (with regard to 1100s). Other than 1172, the rest to 103rd are long-time NP rust buckets.

From @maths22's tracker, it looks like, on balance, NP still looks like it has had, including scattered units from 1079 to 1188; maybe a few more 1500s.

are these transfers or are these loans to replace the newest Novas that are used for the DNC?

With the amount of movement back and forth from one garage to another and back, sounds like daily loans to cover what gets used for DNC shuttle work. I don't see K for example going through the hassle of training for and receiving 8350s and then lose half of them to a transfer.

Today's the last day of the DNC so it will be interesting to see the bus shuffling begin starting tonight , tomorrow,  and this weekend. 

Yes, there will be lots of movement these next few days since the new Fall Pick will be in effect Sunday.

I saw these 8 sitting near 78th and Vincennes and normally that indicates that they'll be getting moved overnight. 

1. #7980
2. #7981
3. #7984
4. #7988
5. #7992
6. #7994
7. #7998
8. #7999

Which Garage will these 8 be relocated?
