sw4400 Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 And the #11 is one of several routes shared between NP and FG. Any photos or bustracker images to support this? I've been watching the #11 for the last two days and also ride it daily, and I've seen nothing but NP stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jajuan Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 There is 1 AM trip and 2 PM trips that are operated by Forest Glen I take it you meant 1PM or maybe 11AM since there are no 11 runs at 1AM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busjack Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I take it you meant 1PM or maybe 11AM since there are no 11 runs at 1AM. I think he was referring to number of runs in each rush hour segment, rather than a night run at 1:00 a.m. But I suppose he could clarify.

Busjack Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 No he was responding about route 11 being shared between FG and NP. That was clear, and we are getting pendantic. I read his post to mean that on Route 11-Lincoln Sedgwick, one run in the morning rush and another two in the evening rush come from the Forest Glen garage.

Which is what I was getting at when I said I take it he means either 11AM or 1PM and not the 1AM he made the typo on. So what's your issue? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoNova Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I saw Nova 6870 on #143 Stocton/Michigan Express this afternoon northbound. Last I checked that Nova belonged to 77th Garage and #143 was being shared between North Park, Kedzie, and 103rd Garages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what's your issue? The issue is that rideonrulez didn't make a typo. When he refered to the #11 having 1(one) AM trip from FG, he meant that the #11 has 1 (one) AM trip from FG. That's all there is to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When looking at it at first it appeared he was giving times the way he has it typed. 1AM with no space can be read as a time. But anywho thanks for the clarification which is basically I was asking for without the attitude. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJL6000 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I saw Nova 6870 on #143 Stocton/Michigan Express this afternoon northbound. Last I checked that Nova belonged to 77th Garage and #143 was being shared between North Park, Kedzie, and 103rd Garages. Of the three garages officially operating runs on 143, NP is the only one that's supposed to have any Novas. 6870 was last based at 77th, which means that it is on loan to NP. But then again, 103rd occasionally borrows equipment from 77th. Thus, 6870 could have been on loan to NP or 103rd at that time. It could not have been Kedzie because Kedzie very seldom borrows any equipment from other garages, if at all. As for the presence of 6476 on 22 yesterday, it was explained earlier. That Nova is still a 74th Garage bus because I saw it on 49 (another route shared between 74th and North Park) this midday. If any of you actually saw 6476 (or any of the other 6470s-low 6480s) in person on Western or North Clark the first character of the number in the run number box would have been "6" rather than "P" (it could not have been "7" because "7" indicates a 77th Garage run). Novas on Western with a "P" in the run number box should be of fleet numbers 6688 to 6708; any Nova on Western numbered 6687 or lower belongs to 74th. It turns out that 74th Garage operates at least one PM rush period run on 22 (and possibly at least one AM rush trip on that route). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It turns out that 74th Garage operates at least one PM rush period run on 22 (and possibly at least one AM rush trip on that route). I believe I did see 6476 on the 49 in person today when traveling home from work and it did have a '6' run number in the run box like all the other Novas I spotted in person today. I still haven't seen the NP Novas (or 1000s for that matter, only 1000s from 74th) except on the Tracker because I'm always crossing Western when the 74th runs are passing and the NP runs are elsewhere along the route.

ChicagoNova Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 And of course this evening, I saw a NF on #134 Stockton/LaSalle Express, not sure of the bus number, but it was out of 77th Garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusHunter Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Novas on Western with a "P" in the run number box should be of fleet numbers 6688 to 6708; any Nova on Western numbered 6687 or lower belongs to 74th. It turns out that 74th Garage operates at least one PM rush period run on 22 (and possibly at least one AM rush trip on that route). #6708 was on the #91 this morning. Also #6653 appears to be at 77th today it was on #71. There seems to be a run from Kedzie on the #77 in the morning rush I've seen two different Kedzie buses in the morning rush (#1646 and #1186.) Both were spotted on the east end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was numbered 1248-1252, it was out of Kedzie. 77th gave up about five NFs to Kedzie over the weekend as part of the current realignment. Also make that up to about 1373 at Kedzie for 1300s starting roughly in the upper 1340s because 1373 happened to make its appearance on the 12 Roosevelt today.

This morning however #1346 showed up on the #60. I also spotted #1255 on the #100 and #1256 on the #28 so 103rd may have picked up a few #1200's like fg did. so looks like #1262 - #1248 may be divided between 4 seperate garages.

sw4400 Posted February 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 I've been viewing all non-shared routes very carefully this week for Chicago, Forest Glen, Kedzie, North Park, 74th, 77th, and 103rd for changes in the New Flyer D40LF Rosters(there are DE60LF changes too)... This is what I've noticed thus far... Chicago: 1345,1348,1355,1356,1365 Forest Glen: 1257,1260,1261,4193(sighted on #92 Foster, which is an exclusive FG route according to the garages assignments) Kedzie: 1248,1250,1251,1252,1366,1368,1369,1370,1371,1372,1373 North Park: 1672 77th: 1317,1525,1796,1831 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been times when a run on 146, 147 or 151 or other NP route close to the lakefront ended at Foster and then a '92 to KEDZIE' gets flipped on and the bus pulls in at the North Park garage. Those 1300s you got for Chicago are actually part of the Kedzie roster now. 1672 should also still be Kedzie, as I recall it still has been appearing on Kedzie exclusive routes this week. And I think 1525, 1796 and 1831 have popped up on 14 and 26 this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
