Hell, I would've been losing my freaking mind if I ever witnessed one of them being on #34!!! Heck, even having one of them on the 39 is still something considering they initially were only expected to be used so far on the 7, 120, 121, 124, 125 and 157.

Yeah, you're right about that. Maybe they should give #35 a shot one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busjack Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Yeah, you're right about that. Maybe they should give #35 a shot one day. I guess so much that they were restricted to the 2 morning and 2 afternoon run numbers, but if one is going to test them under winter conditions, this is as good a time as any. See if that sucker has enough power to pull itself out of a drift or low traction situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam92 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 #701 is on #39 (you might have typed 34 by mistake). Hell, I would've been losing my freaking mind if I ever witnessed one of them being on #34!!! whole time you're losing your mindd I'd be walking to the Red Line just to check it out Heck, even having one of them on the 39 is still something considering they initially were only expected to be used so far on the 7, 120, 121, 124, 125 and 157. I'm guessing maybe the #39 was light enough to be considered test worthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusHunter Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 In case you missed yesterday, #701 is on the #39 again!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyerMCI Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 What's going to be next? I figure they're going to try for 12, 18 and 35 if it's making trips on the 39 I'm surprised it hasn't appeared on the 10 yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 #701 was on the #157 today. It went by my fire academy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's true. As for any thoughts about the 10 voiced by others, that would have to wait for the summer when the 10 next has weekday service since like the 800s the 700s aren't used on the weekend. And it would have to be for one of those extra NB trips that run between 5 and 6 PM without a corresponding SB trip since I'm sure running along Lake Shore Drive would decrease the charge on the battery quicker.

geneking7320 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 That explains the sighting on the 39. This is part of phase 2 of the testing. Last night I saw one westbound on route #39 crossing King Dr. I think it was between 5:30 and 6:00pm. BTW, thanks for the pics on the bus page Kevin.

Juniorz Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 the Pershing runs are from 3:53 departing at St. Louis until 7:04 arriving at St. Louis. Please Note: the assignments of bus 700 and 701 may vary between the 2 afternoon runs on the 7 and 39. Bus 700 usually runs on route 7, but that may vary as bus 701 may operate on route 7, vice-versa for route 39 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
