Pace831 Posted January 7, 2017 Report Posted January 7, 2017 8 hours ago, qwantae said: As I watched the Tracker in last couple days for all Southwest Routes, seems that all the Orion VI's (except Blue Wraps) aren't in service on SW Routes anymore. And I've seen Brand New Eldo #6549 in service today on 379. There aren't any Orions running right now, but it's Saturday morning. I believe 6101 was the only one I saw on Thursday. Quote
Pace831 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 The only Orions left at southwest are the blue ones. 6550 on 381: What the heck is this?? "19" is on 386: 1 Quote
Pace831 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 19 has been out on 383 all day. Hopefully it's running tomorrow night so I can check it out. I wonder if it is a demonstrator, since Pace will need a contract for new buses to replace the NABIs. Quote

I wonder if it is a demonstrator, since Pace will need a contract for new buses to replace the NABIs. Maybe it's just a new bus that was misprogrammed? So all buses are in service up to #6550, minus #6575 at sw? I guess I'll update the roster then while I have some time. Quote

rotjohns Posted January 12, 2017 Report Posted January 12, 2017 #6101 & #6149 are at Northwest. That most likely means #6147 was moved back to Northwest too. Quote
chgofan78 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Posted January 12, 2017 Orion 6079 has moved from SW to NW and NABI 6210 has moved from S to W. Quote
jesi2282 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Posted January 12, 2017 also 6648 moved from River to W... Quote
jesi2282 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Posted January 17, 2017 6683 also moved from River to West, currently on #330... Quote

Just now, jesi2282 said: 6683 also moved to W from River, currently on #330... Undoubtedly making space after R got 6559-6563, and less need for 35 footers on 606, 616. Quote

Which probably means there's an Orion or 2003 Nabi at West that should be canned shortly, if not already. Quote
jesi2282 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Posted February 1, 2017 6159 is now at West, was on #319 this morning. I think it's safe to say that the Orion's will end their revenue lives at West. Quote

qwantae Posted February 9, 2017 Report Posted February 9, 2017 No wonder today I see 6159 on the 301 at Wheaton, 6160 on the 322 at 54/ Cermak, and 6156 on the 307 at Argo all on Web today. I knew this was going to happen eventually. R.I.P Orion VI fleet at SW Division. Will be missed. Quote

BusHunter Posted February 9, 2017 Report Posted February 9, 2017 Hmm #6161 has all new seat inserts. Seems funny seeing new seat inserts on that older bus. (inserts are the same type) Quote

jesi2282 Posted April 22, 2017 Report Posted April 22, 2017 Pulse buses are in service at NW... (Video shot by MJChicagoland2312) 4 Quote

I was over there earlier today for the first time in at least 2 years. Didn't see any pulses when I was there Quote
BusHunter Posted April 22, 2017 Report Posted April 22, 2017 Probably was in the rush on friday. Biggest thing i wonder with back doors will it have highway seating or not. Highway buses dont rypically have back doors abd that seat is used in higheay buses so i wonder what's the deal. Quote

Didn't see any pulses when I was there Yes, but it is the old question of trying to chase one bus, unless you have Webwatch on your mobile device or can find it on Webwatch and can time your encounter, especially since this isn't regular service yet. Here it was either the promised training, or NW was a bus short, not Pulse service. Quote

In this case, NW threw the Pulse bus out to the wild. Quote
BusHunter Posted April 24, 2017 Report Posted April 24, 2017 Well #6517, a future Pulse bus, is out on the #270. I'll be heading over there after work for the rush. Hopefully it sticks around cause I'd like to see it and maybe get some pics. I think this is going to be a regular thing at least on the weekdays . Maybe a transportation manager has to sign off on it. They only typically work during the week. Quote
