Last night, I saw 4519 on the 99 - surprisingly it seemed to have a "Dorado" load on it when it was pulling into Norristown.

Also I rode 7142 which has these new rear door handles and some things over the back door - this leads me to believe they are sensors for automatic door operation - pictures coming soon!

Wow an eldorado on the 99... Is that the last trip on there BTW?

5811 was spotted on the 44 yesterday with an IFC yellow wrap.

Saw ElDo 4562, Block 3125, on the 23 today. Is Midvale short of 40' buses? :o
I'd hate to see an ElDo turn up on the 47 one day...that could be interesting.

Yeah that was the last trip (or at least one of the last trips) - It seems like it might be a regular thing, that's not the first time I saw a Dorado on the 99 on a Saturday night.

In my opinion Eldorados should not be on any of the Norristown routes under any circumstances.

If one has a line like the 128 or 130 with a trip that is interlined with a run on a route like the 94 express(134) or a trip on the 127 interlined with something like a late on the 98, then the trip should automatically be assigned a 40 footer at all times, no exceptions whatsoever. An Eldrado on the 99. That is an absolute disgrace. :angry:

Midvale can get rather interesting during the summer months. As of now, I wouldn't be surprised if they begin running Eldorados on the 22 out to Warminster on Sunday evenings. At times on the 22 during the weekends, especially at night, the ridership doesn't always justify the use of a 40 footer. :unsure:

But like you said, don't give them any ideas. :P

I spotted an Eldorado along Stenton Avenue with block number 3379 in the holder. This appears to have run on a trip on the L. WHAT IN THE NAME OF JESUS IS AN ELDORADO DOING ON THE L?

Sadly to say, this may have been a pullout for the 23 3125 block.

4561 was on the L last week, I saw it on a Plymouth meeting mall trip. I also spotted 5275 operating the 44 last week, freshly painted. I guess this bus was salvaged.
