5638 is still at Southern. I spotted it on the G today.

The 23 is on detour northbound in South Philadelphia(northbound via Broad to Snyder, east on Snyder then 11th to regular route).

The 47/47m is on detour southbound between Snyder & Oregon Avenues. There is a hole in the street on 8th between Snyder & Oregon(presumably between Jackson & Wolf).

I think 5646 still may be at Southern. I rode 5646 on the 23 from Oregon Avenue to Gorgas Lane & the block display didn't light up. Oh well.

I rode 5002 on the 52(9505 block). The 52 was on detour in the Kingsessing area.

Southbound: regular route to 54th & Kingsessing Avenue, eastbound on Kingsessing Avenue, southbound on 52nd, eastbound on Woodland, northbound on 50th, eastbound on Greenway, south on 49th to the end).

Nortbound, regular route to 53rd Street, west on Kingsessing Avenue, northbound on 54th Street to regular route.

I rode 5003 on the 42 to Upper Darby(spotting 5823 on the 109 & a piece of **** on the 107, an Eldorado). 5003 was freshly painted.

Eric, the "temporary" 5200 reassignment to Red Arrow won't last. You can believe that. What will Callowhill depot get in return for the "temporary" reassignment of 5200s?

I'm short 6 buses.

I'll take the 5100s suburbans from Red Arrow off you're hands.

I think that's it. Maybe their objective is to obliterate the 5134,5136,5138,5139,5142,5144,5148-5150 & 5153 group from Red Arrow.

So all ya'll need is 4 more buses & maybe we can make a trade.

Crafter, do us all a favour! STOP CALLING THE 5100s ASSIGNED TO RED ARROW AND FRONTEIR SUBURBANS! They are NOT any different than their City counterparts. The ONLY suburbans SEPTA had were the Suburban Fishbowls, Flxibles, RTSes, and Neoplan 40 footers. Nothing else is Suburban as far as I know.

As for the 5200s going from Callowhill to Red Arrow, I believe this move was made to give Red Arrow additional buses to cover the 116. 5271-5272, 5274, and 5276-5278 are the ones that have gone to Red Arrow. 5277 is on the 113 today. 4559 has gone from Midvale to Red Arrow as well. Also, a spiffy clean 5599 is on the 113 / 4502 block today.

Also Crafter, some of your favourite buses are moving from Frontier to Midvale. Most of the 4571-4580 series has returned home to Midvale. Frontier now has 5153-5154, 5156-5158, 5338, and 5340-5343. 5795-5805 have been moved to Frankford. 5806 may end up at Callowhill as it is still at Southern.

I don't care for the Eldorados Joseph. I hate the Eldorados & Champions with a passion Joseph. Midvale doesn't need those pieces of s**t.

Apparently, a few callowhill nabis are getting repainted. 5003 and 5033 are both freshly repainted.

5003 - on the route 52

5033 - on the route 65
