Okay, here are the answers to the questions. Winner of bragging rights will be announced at the end of this post. 1) The western most point is Oxford, PA on the Original 91 (1982). 2) The southern most point is Wilmington, Delaware on the original 202 (1995-1998). I checked the maps before doing this question and Wilmington is in fact south of Oxford. 3) The eastern most point is Trenton, NJ (127). A good guess would be Medford Lakes, NJ for the old Red Arrow 54 but looking at the map again, Trenton is east of Medford Lakes. 4) Northern most point is Landis Market in Telford on the 132. This location beats out Cross Keys Shopping Center in Doylestown (55) by a nose. 5) The current longest bus route is the 55 from Olney to Doylestown. It registers in at about 27 miles. 6) A Local = 32; A Express = 9 and 27; B = 14 and part of 20; Boulevard Limited = 1; D = 21; E = 65; FOX = 8; M = 68, N = 24, S = 18; Specially Routed Services = 400 series routes (yes, I do have some old timetables of school trippers under the Specially Routed Services designator); W = 19/67; X = 77; Y = 70; Z = 35. 7) 68 = E; 69 = K; 71 (II) = Z; 81 = 141; 103 = C and R; 104 = W; 105 = G and I; 106 = Y; 107 = B and P; 108 = J; 109 = O; 110 = X; 111 = A; 112 (I) = F; 113 = M; 114 = 74; 115 = 72 and 83 (H); 116 (I) = 77; 117 = 70; 118 = 80; 120 (II) = 104A; 121 = 44G (for a short time from 1988 to 1989 it was 49); 125 = 45. 8) The 5 original Frontier Routes were 95, 96, 97, 98, and 99. 9) The 95 was the only original Frontier route not to operate in the borough of Norristown. 10) 47 (1969), 60 (1976), 50 (1980), 53 (1985), 6 (1986), 23 (1992), 56 (1992). I was looking for the date when buses started operating full time on the route. I can see where Mark was going to but that wasn't what I was looking for. Winner of bragging rights is Mark DeLoatch. Mark, enjoy your bragging rights!
