sw4400 Posted December 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 Just to make sure the NF lists are accurate with BusHuter and ChicagoNova's posts, #1257 is at North Park or Kedzie, #1215 and #1245 are at North Park, and #1266 and #1263 are at Forest Glen?

jajuan Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 If they have things going on at Soldier Field or the United Center then they'll use those buses on the 19, 128. This has been regardless of a Soldier Field or United Center event. There have been weekend days when neither had events scheduled and the artics still didn't get used except on the other routes Kedzie runs them on the weekends.

RJL6000 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 1263 is on the #152 this evening. Also, one of the 6500-series Novas that was supposed to be at FG - 6582 - is spotted on the #49 Western this evening (although it is unclear whether that bus had a 74th or an NP run number).

BusHunter Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 1263 is on the #152 this evening. Also, one of the 6500-series Novas that was supposed to be at FG - 6582 - is spotted on the #49 Western this evening (although it is unclear whether that bus had a 74th or an NP run number). #1267 was on the #90 on Saturday. It had an F sticker in the windshield, so they look like there picking up a few NF's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, 6472 and 6595 have been based at NP and 77th, respectively, for at least several months now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicagoNova Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 And I also saw Nova 6522 coming down south on Lake Shore Drive. It wasn't in service, but it was being used by North Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoNova Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 I spotted 6555 northbound on #146 by State/Randolph this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artthouwill Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 #1267 was on the #90 on Saturday. It had an F sticker in the windshield, so they look like there picking up a few NF's. At the expense of 77th, as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoNova Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Some of Chicago's Novas must b transferring to North Park. So far this week I've seen 6532, 6552, 6554, 6555, and 6562 on North Park's bus routes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sw4400 Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 New Flyer additions(at least to my rosters) 1262-FG-working #56 1264-FG-working #80 Also, when did #80 get shared by North Park? I thought it was an all Forest Glen route? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sw4400 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Probably not important, but I feel necessary to mention... I was waiting for the EB #152 and while waiting, two New Flyers catch my eye heading WB on Addison, then turning North onto Elston. #901 & #1629.

I was waiting for the EB #152 and while waiting, two New Flyers catch my eye heading WB on Addison, then turning North onto Elston. #901 & #1629. Perhaps loaners or fill-ins for another bus route? I rode #901 on the 62 Archer just a couple days ago to school, and I highly doubt the hybrids are going anywhere; they've been at Kedzie garage for some time now, most have been there since they were first delivered to Chicago.

The service life for those hybrids according to FTA regulations is also probably 12 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJL6000 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 They were both marked as Instruction Buses. Only for that day. Because tonight, 1629 is back on the #62. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwantae Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Wednesday Evening, I spotted #1089 NF on Belmont/ Red Line working Route 77 w/ a "F" on windshield. I assume that this bus was from 74th garage awhile ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sw4400 Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Only for that day. Because tonight, 1629 is back on the #62. Well, presuming that 901 and 1629 were FG Instruction Buses(turning North onto Elston from Addison), then why couldn't they use some of the stock at their garage for training?(e.g: 1257 and 6721) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJL6000 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 This Saturday evening (2/19/2011), the #49 Western has been having very few buses showing up on BusTracker. It seems as if the devices on many of the Nova 6600s have been malfunctioning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
