MTRSP1900-CTA3200 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 I still have my iPhone 5S. It's just that I feel like I got ripped off by T-Mobile. I paid my phone off completely but who finna pay almost a $250 phone bill after I was credited almost $200 just for paying it off???? So, I've decided to switch with Sprint. (Continue this conservation in my garmon757 topic for relevancy) Fair enough. Anyways, thanks for sharing the photo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garmon757 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Well damn, #8017 is a lone duck operating for quite a while yesterday and still on #67 right now about to make a final trip to 69th/Western before deadheading back to the garage.

Guest Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Just left Chicago ave Garage Talked to the garage guys there. Of course theyre getting their share of beat up Novas. They tell me FG and C are getting the old Novas because of the reputation of the maintenance personnel at both facilities. I was told ten a week are being retired more or less.

BusHunter Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Just left Chicago ave Garage Talked to the garage guys there. Of course theyre getting their share of beat up Novas. They tell me FG and C are getting the old Novas because of the reputation of the maintenance personnel at both facilities. I was told ten a week are being retired more or less. At least that's the cover story. Chicago has it alot better than FG because they have close to a 100 rehab buses and the newest non rehabbed #1000's. NP even has the newest artics. But I don't know who was out to lunch when they decided what FG gets. They are sharing the ex 77th novas for the most part with Chicago, but FG gets the added bonus of almost 70-80 #6600's. FG will probably be doing most of the retiring now because the fleet is so bad. Probably between the spring and summer picks they will get those #6800's back maybe with all touch screen clever devices. (which is a mystery to me) but they should be close to retiring those by the end of the year too. It should be really interesting when the #1000's rehab end because all of a sudden they might just get 100 #1000's just like that. Looks like now NP, Kedzie and Chicago might be running with a 20 bus surplus each so that's 60 buses right there that's extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusHunter Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 #8021 is in service now on the #49. South Shops must have got another set of buses although it seems to be getting more challenging to bring them over. I was reading Buffalo has like 6 feet of snow and that whole region of upstate NY to Boston is digging out of some mega snow totals. http://www.intellicast.com/Travel/Weather/Snow/Cover.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what's the deal with them being sidelined but #7968 and #7992 have been out of service for over a month now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyerMCI Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 #8029 #8031 #8032 #8033 #8036 and #8046 have arrived. #7909 #7916 #7960 #7968 #7979 #7992 are out of service. Aside from the ones being OOS for a month, this is so random. Isn't there supposed to be a specific way buses arrive? Where are #8030, #8034, #8035 ans #8037-45? How did you find out?

Shells get VIN plates, but nothing assures that they are assembled, inspected, released, and delivered in order, especially given the observation earlier today about weather conditions en route. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like for example, #7954 trumped over 20 of them last year. So, don't be surprised if one of them in the 8050s, 60s, 80s, etc. arrived before any other! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusHunter Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Here's a few pictures of our newest Nova to go in service on it's first day. #8021: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garmon757 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Finally, #8008 is on #75 making it the last route to have one of them in service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusHunter Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 I was just wondering why most of your shots are of the rear quarter? Because the headlights drown out the shots, but maybe now that I have a new camera they don't. But a dead of night shot would still not work. Plus with #1000's, all you would see is an ad for WCIU and the number would be obscured. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajuan Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 8023 now in service on the #9. I couldn't get a shot because I was on NF 1159 going the opposite direction at the time I saw it this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewFlyerMCI Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 It seems as those the nova priority at 74th goes like this: 1st Tier: 9, 48, 49, 59, 94 2nd Tier: 44, 47, 55, 55A, 67 3rd Tier: 55N, 62, 62H, 63, 63W 4th Tier: 75, 165 At least 74th has their priorities straight somewhat. The Novas can seat slightly more, so 1st priority makes sense for 9 and 49. The letter routes would've all been in 3rd or 4th tier and the 48 would've been lower, while the 67 higher, had it been up to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
