I saw a Nova moving west on 103rd at Cottage Grove on Friday. I thought it was odd, but nothing would surprise me anymore. Quote

RJL6000 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 I saw a Nova moving west on 103rd at Cottage Grove on Friday. I thought it was odd, but nothing would surprise me anymore. is this a sign that the 03 could be getting novas Right now, 103rd has at least one Nova - #6709. It is a loaner from Archer since at least one of 103rd's own buses was involved in an accident a short time ago. Quote
cta5658 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 Right now, 103rd has only one Nova - #6709. It is a loaner from Archer since one of 103rd's own buses was involved in an accident a short time ago. Let Me Guess, #6471 is on the #28, is that a loaner as well? Quote
RJL6000 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 Let Me Guess, #6471 is on the #28, is that a loaner as well? Yes. This makes at least two of 103rd's own buses out of commission at this time. And as of now, with the pending decommission of the Archer Garage and the pending phased retirement of the Flxibles, any Flxibles which either have been involved in serious accidents or have broken down seriously enough to require major repairs are being replaced by some of Archer's Novas. Thus, you can expect to see the soon-to-be ex-Archer Novas scattered amongst the 103rd, 74th, Chicago and Kedzie Garage routes in the coming months. Quote
qwantae Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 Let Me Guess, #6471 is on the #28, is that a loaner as well? I know, I saw that #6471 at Southbound Stony Island/ 67th this morning working #28 when I was on my way to church. I was hoping for awhile that 103rd should get some Novas to trade in for some early 1000s back to Archer (If Archer doesn't closes). Quote
artthouwill Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 Since 74th and FG have the most Flxs, I expect those two garages to be the biggest recipients of the Novas with 77th possibly since they already have a large number of Novas. With such a small number of Flxs at 103rd, K, and C, I don't foresee those garages getting much, if any in the way of Novas, but that is dependent on how the route assignments shake out after A closes.

ChicagoNova Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 Flxible #6228 This morning I saw Nova 6549 travelling northbound on the #26 South Shore Express and Nova 6559 travelling northbound on #29 State. Quote
ChicagoNova Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 Flxible #6228 Additionally, I saw Nova 6558 eastbound on 103 West 103rd and Flxible 6057 also. Quote
bookielovescta Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 Can anyone post the garage and route assignments for the Flxibles ? Please ? Quote
Busjack Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 Can anyone post the garage and route assignments for the Flxibles ? Please ? Look under the Garages tab and click through there for routes at those garages. Quote
BusHunter Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 #1914 is on the #111. So buses are appearing from more garages. Looks like they may be trying to phase out more #6200's there in whole or at least in part. Quote
cta5658 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 I Saw #6558 on the #106 East 103rd At 95th/Dan Ryan Today Quote
busfan2847 Posted December 15, 2009 Report Posted December 15, 2009 I Saw #6558 on the #106 East 103rd At 95th/Dan Ryan Today While 6057 and 1914 are still on 103rd routs on Bus Tracker today, there does not appear to be any Novas out? Quote
BusExpert32 Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 There's been a New Flyer-Nova swap between FG and 77th: - 1244, 1245, 1246, and 1247 are on FG routes today (1249, 1250, 1251, and 1253 are still at 77th) - 6846, 6848, 6849, and 6850 are on 77th routes today Kedzie is also involved, since NFs 1200 and 1204 are also at FG right now. This is what I've noticed, but there are probably more buses involved. Quote
cta_44499_FG Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 There was a convoy of buses from 103rd garage (all 40 ft NF) pulling into North Park last night (Friday) around 2200. Most in the 1700 range. And the shuffle continues.... 1 Quote

Most in the 1700 range. And the shuffle continues.... If by "convoy", you mean 2, then it's a no-brainer... the only 1700's 103rd have are 1798 and 1799. Beyond that is the 1800's, the lone 1900, 1500's, 1400's, and 1000's Quote
