Midvale has at least 20 blocks on the 57, they're as follows: 3900,3901,3903,3904,3905,3907,3908,3910,3911,3912,3913,3914,3915,3916,3917,3918,3922,3923,3924,3925,3927,3935. Many of them are swings, some are straights. 3908 block is the run that goes to Packer Marine Terminal early in the morning during the week. |

Midvale has much of the 47. Many of the blocks are straights. 3300,3301,3302 blocks are the owl runs. 3303,3304,3305,3307,3308,3309 are weekday straights. 3312 isa midday run. 3315 is a roundtrip. The night runs are blocks 3329,3330,3331 & a few others. NABIs & New Flyers cover much of the Midvale traffic in North Philadelphia. The 2(Midvale) has the following: 3451 through 3472 blocks(unsure as to how many). On weekends, Midvale has much of the work on the C,2,23,47 & 57 however on the 2 Midvale has only 2 blocks at night on the weekends. Whenever you see a 35xx block, that's Midvale's share of the BSS nite owl with a run interlined with a surface route. 3558 block is a BSS nite owl block interlined with a run on the 47. 3554 block isinterlined with a run on the 57. Many of the 35xx blocks run as C trips from either end early in the morning. Most of these are New Flyer runs. |

The 23 has a load of blocks assigned to Midvale. They run between 3101 through 3138. Many of them are whole length runs. Some are trippers. 3101 & 3102 are the niteowls. Some of Midvales share of the 23 have runs that terminate @ 10th & Bigler. During the week, block 3104 is a example. Sadly on the 23, this is one of SEPTA's causualites in terms of runs & hours. They oftentimes get as many as 3 drivers squeezed into one run & block(like 3104 block)in terms of swings. The C suffers from the same fate. |

My guess is that the G, 17, 79, 7, and 29 are the routes keeping southern in business mainly. Might I remind ya southern operates the 37, 64, 68, 71 could operate totally from other depots. |

Operator of 103, 4201 block, must love to drive 4581. This bus has been on that block the last three days straight. I have ridden Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday on the 3:50 from 69th Street. 4201 block use to pull into the West Terminal at 3:30 and change to the 4:00 107. With the route changes this no longer happens. The 3:50 103 use to be 4204 block that pulled out of Victory at 3:45 and this no longer happens either. |

I spotted 5275 on the 3 yesterday. Today I spotted an Eldorado on a run on the 26 & an Eldorado on a run on the 57. Oh no . What's next, Carl R. Bieber Tourways Bus Company giving SEPTA their oldest equipment to handle the 124 & 125?
