They come in off an AM piece then either stay for major maintenance if needed while another bus from the same garage pulls out and returns in it's place and does a PM rush piece on the way back. If the bus is fine it just goes back out on the PM rush piece and goes home. That's why these types of moves stay on the routes they do so they can make it the least costly dead milage wise. (28 for 103rd, 126 for kedzie I can't think of what the other garages do off the top of my head. Basically the same type as the SH, SR and SN you see in the rush except instead of storage midday it's maintenance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungBusLover Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 I'm starting to question if some of the lower #1000's have received a 2nd rehab engine wise that is, I remember seeing #1235 getting rebuilt about 2 months ago at South shops and the bus looked completely brand new when I drove it 2 weeks ago, it only had about 3500 miles on it when I checked the Speedometer and the bus ran great but I don't know if that's misleading because last night I had #1265 and it had just about 325,000 miles on the Speedometer. I wonder if other buses like #1235 have had overhauls in recent months because I rarely see it out on Weekends where 77th mainly uses more #1000's over #7900's during that time frame.

Because like #1235 I would only assume that #1000-#1001 have the orignal transmission setup as well with the engine rehab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungBusLover Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 So after doing some research I came across the thread of NF #1000's, #800's, #900's Delivery (street) dates, Factory Dates, Lifetime Assignments (WIP) and noticed #1001-#1020 were produced in 2005 and delivered in early 2006. It leaves me to wonder when they'll get retired. They're technically the 2nd oldest batch of buses currently in the fleet behind the remaining 2001-2002 #6400's at 15 years old to them being close to 18-20 years old. I know it may be a bit early on to start questioning retirements but some are really starting to show there age more and more each day.
