cta5658 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 You can add #1528 to 74th because it was on the #75 earlier today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sw4400 Posted December 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Can we lock it down as actual move(s) and not (a) temporary transfer(s)? I want to keep these NF Rosters up-to-date as possible, but temporary transfers throw off the Rosters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJL6000 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 NF #1972 is now also at Chicago. I saw it on the #53 on Bustracker today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to keep these NF Rosters up-to-date as possible, but temporary transfers throw off the Rosters. Unless someone is going to publish the extremely secret roster here, no. People on the street can't tell if a transfer is temporary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJL6000 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Which buses at 74th are being replaced by 103rd 1500s? None, as far as I know. 74th actually did lose 1585 to Chicago Garage a couple of months back. Plus, the addition of 1035-1037 and (more recently) 4058 back to the 103rd Garage roster made 1528 and 1529 expendable, so those two buses went to 74th. 1527 is still at 103rd.

jajuan Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 6560 on 144 at this moment, which I'm guessing is a loan to fill in a run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Flyer Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I saw 6139 southbound on the Ryan this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordguy Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 6560 on 144 at this moment, which I'm guessing is a loan to fill in a run. It probably was. 6560 was also operating north on Clark Street at Wellington about 7:45 this evening. I'm wondering if the 144 and the 22 ever interline.

Sam92 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I saw 6139 southbound on the Ryan this morning. Was it looking fresh and untouched like the other one I saw with a 15 Jeffery Local sign 2 weeks ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A small interline in the evening along with some of the last 147 become 22's or 151's on Sundays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam92 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I thought 103rd was always short on buses... Porbably freeing up space for more artics... we have enough now to where the 26 has seen a good 5 of them in the rush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajuan Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Porbably freeing up space for more artics... we have enough now to where the 26 has seen a good 5 of them in the rush That doesn't quite add up given 103rd has been reported in the past to have used Novas and 1000's from 74th and 77th on its local routes because it was short of operable 40 footers to serve those routes. There was no reporting that that shortage was due to NFs breaking down like crazy there so it suggests 103rd was short on buses all around taking into account your frustration that it didn't seem to have enough artics. If it's been short of 40 footers where's the need to make room for artics? It should already have the room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said earlier I'm just confused about why even though the plan was to have 53 artics we steadily went lower in numbers instead of the gain. And I was guessing about the space thing cause things must be a little tight there with the NABI's taking up room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busjack Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 If we didn't know any better we would think some of them were in regular service passing by on the Dan Ryan Of course, the Dan Ryan hasn't had a regular bus route for about 43 years. Still reminds me of when I saw a Marmon trolley bus on the Wentworth route (probably technically on Wells St.). The bus itself was visible from the train platform, but the truck towing it wasn't until one got to street level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I mentioned before about 2 weeks ago I saw an ex-103rd Flxible on the Dan Ryan looking kinda fresh even displaying a 15 JEFFERY LOCAL sign like it was still in service. Thats what I was getting at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrethebusman Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Another explanation along with 5658's valid one could be possible extra service in light of Christmas fast approaching and a lot more people being downtown for shopping, sightseeing and the like. Any moves would and should have been held for this past weekend given new bus schedules went into effect Sunday with the change to the winter pick. A bit of a late report... On the evening in December that the Christmas Lights were lit up, a 103rd artic (4060 if I remember) made a trip on 65 Navy Pier to Nordica, returning as a 74 Nordica to Halsted. Run 1539, a Jeffery Extra. Diverted by supervisor at Navy Pier, further diverted at Nordica to cover major service gaps. Probably first time in years artic was on Fullerton!

ChicagoNova Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I could guess 103rd still does take care of #134 partially unless. I spotted NF #4099 (103rd's artic) on #134 this morning (probably a loaner). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrethebusman Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 103rd still has two AM trips on #134.8am and 826am from Sheridan/Briar. Both come off #26. Basically the last remnants of the 2-Hyde Park Express trips that went up to Belmont/Sheridan and made a 153 trip downtown going back to Motor Coach days!

Are the 143 and 151 trips also off the 26 as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
