Danielsmusic Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 This morning I missed my 33, so I walked to North and took the 72 to Clark. The Archer New Flyers are really moving fast; the bus I rode was #1083. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I seen an amber Nova myself on the 62 yesterday. Also #1084 was on #76 yesterday. That's 85 buses. That would mean that #6630 - #6714 would be at Archer. Well only about 35 Flyers left at Archer It's starting to really get down over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I barely see many Flyers now when I pass Western or am downtown near the 62 on State or Dearborn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nflyer22 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Yes. I barely see many Flyers now when I pass Western or am downtown near the 62 on State or Dearborn. Yeah, same here, since I go to school at downtown by State St., rarely see them now :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusExpert32 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Yeah, same here, since I go to school at downtown by State St., rarely see them now State Street isn't a place where there is a lack of New Flyers at any time of the week in downtown, or farther south on the #29.

Im heading up to Madison Wis. for the Mad City Train Show this weekend, I will keep an eye out for any new deliveries of New Flyers You picked a good time to go up there. Deliveries have now picked up again. There has almost been as many deliveries in the past 2 weeks (25) as the last two months(30) I would expect to see more this weekend (barring bad weather) no problem. RMadison says were up to #1601 although all I can seem to find is up to #1591 on the #146 last night. It had advertising put in on the exterior racks already and had a 7-eleven advertizment along the top. Seems like it has been around for at least a few days.

Yeah, I agree, since I saw 1595 yesterday on the 22 Clark, but I'm also surprised that the 1st of the 1600s have arrived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone seen the Novas with the LED destination signs on any Archer routes?

qwantae Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Yesterday morning, I did spotted #1095 on Route 20- Madison in Downtown eastbound on Monroe/ Clark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusHunter Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Heard from another forum that more NF's passed through ST.Paul, Mn on tuesday so deliveries have really stepped up. I think there really must have been a backlog at the factory. They'll probably keep coming in frequently until the backlog has been exhausted. As far as the Archer NF's #1095 is in the next set of buses. Have all of the Archer New Flyers been sent to Chicago now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there really must have been a backlog at the factory. They'll probably keep coming in frequently until the backlog has been exhausted.Of course, there is the fact that 1629 completes Option 2 and the question whether Option 3 kicks in immediately after that. However, it appears that CTA's projection that Option 2 will be completed in Feb. 2008 appears right on. Also, this hasn't been the best weather to be transporting anything from Minnesota to here.

That was quite fast, since I saw 1087 working on 129 W Loop S Loop just on Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
