so they can move the 8350’s but not move buses during the spring and summer pick? hm interesting 

It's not as simple as you'd think it is, when buses are ready to be sent to they're home garage they'll be sent overnight. Whatever the case may be for the #8350s is similar to the current fleet we have now. "Manpower is key."

Also, when looking at stuff about 8363, it appeared on @maths22's tracker only once, and while the Clever Device worked (it was on the tracker and @Ghoul's video showed that the announcements worked), the signs didn't. Does anyone know if the manpower bottleneck is in the electronics shop or somewhere else?

#8410 and #8412 are on the 79th fence at SS. Prevost is out here. Clever devices too. #8446 is here. In the top picture you can see the back of #8412 and the bottom pic is #6446.

Can u imagine #8362 the last one of the base order showing up after the rest of the #8350’s are settled?

87 buses delivered and only 1 seen service...

And I'm starting to wonder if that was a fluke. Nothing seemed to work on the bus. It was almost as if it was sent out by accident. Funny #8330 hasn't been out since that same day either.

Just might happen. #7011-12 is gonna be late to the game as well. Seems kind of fruitless, Prevost is out fixing the buses so they can sit at SS. Go figure!!?

I'd say that was an outlier as far as #8363 is concerned, prevost has been at SS non-stop this year and most of the electrical work I've seen them do along with the mechanics has been phenomenal, most of the signage (ext/int) has worked so I don't know what the issue may of been for #8363. I'm surprised #8384 didn't thrown into the fire first since everything was working on it the last time I saw it at FG.

So can we get a list going for what has been moved to FG? #8352,#8371,#8355,#8375,#8378 have all popped up at FG this past week. One could argue that those 10 could knock off the last 10 #6800s they have.

As of 7/31/22 (Total: 12) Updated.

#8350,#8352,#8354,#8355, #8363 #8364,#8371,#8374, #8375, #8378 #8379 & #8384.

I think soon we'll finally see these in service on a regular basis. Two things will help, cps starts August 22nd and the #X4 starts soon so they are gonna need the extra buses. The total roster count at FG should fall though because the spare ratio should be tightened with new buses. 

I don't get why Kedzie got #1000-#1009, were they short. Those could have helped out on the #X4. The fall pick should more clearly define who's getting what.

You seem to have missed this post. #8394 is on the Vincennes side. I've never seen #8424 though.

I think we are just down to 11-10 more to go of the base order until all of them are here, while time is running out for the #6400’s to remain on their last legs.

Is it me or the 8350s haven't seen out since that one day?  None have been spotted in revenue service from 103rd.   To my knowledge only two have graced revenue service from FG

Only bus that has been on the roaster last time was #8363 others still haven’t hit service yet imo
