More likely it was in a training operation, as Frankford does run EI-shuttle service to 69th street terminal! |

I saw a 40 foot Neo at 33rd and Market headed westbound around 9:40 this morning. My guess is it was the same one Kyle saw. Most likely it was a training run for the Blue OWL. I don't understand why 40 foot Neoplans are still used in training runs since you will likely (a) not see them on the Blue OWL and (B) they will be all gone by sometime next year if not earlier. |

(they will be all gone by sometime next year if not earlier) Sad , but true. They are breathing their last gasps. |

(We're gonna miss 'em) That melodious whining transmission sound in first and second gear. I'm glad I have an audio tape of that sound that I can save forver. Chuck Greene |

If anyone rode a SEPTA 1982 Neo AK(8285-8584) or SEPTA 1983 Neo BD(8435-8584) & recorded the engine & transmission sounds, please let me know. Also, if any of you have any sounds of a SEPTA 1982 Neo AK(8285-8434) & SEPTA 1983 Neo BD(8435-8584) "revving up"(like when one has his or her foot to the accelerator to the floor with the transmission in park/neutral position), please let me know. Do I miss going by Frankford & seeing a bus like 8483 being "revved up" in the dead of winter after repairs. Now back to current events, I spotted 5561 traveling eastbound along Chew Avenue in Germantown. 5561 doesn't have anything on the front. No symbols, nothing. 5561 no longer has the full wrap advertisement for Holy Redeemer. Twice in a row, I spotted a NABI on a weekday straight on the 88(2501 block). Yesterday: 5284. Today: 5298. 5776 broke down on the 66 @ Frankford north of Grant @ about 10:30 this morning. Must have ran out of gas. |

5531 is back in service, it was operating on the 66 at Frankford. I spotted 5561 heading north in the innerlane of the blvd from 5062 on route 50. The bus was freshly overhauled but there were no inserts in any of the seats from what i saw. I should note that 5561 along with 5656, 5793, and 5794 lost there Holy Redeemer wraps a few months back. Also 5555 is on loan to Frankford, i rode it on the 73 today. |
