3397 on the 75 today, (2102 block). After two trips of the center doors not working, the operator at 8:35 AM swapped for 3432, which ran OK, but when you floored it it had great amounts of black smoke out of the tailpipe. Another Neo , or two Neo's that will be marked NTF. (No trouble Found).

3395 may be the next bus to be scraped, saw this bus on the north side of the yard with one of its doors hanging out... Need verification before I take it off of the roster..

oh no! I hope not, I did see it parked along the side, but didn't see the door side. I didn't see "SCRAP" written anywhere. I would be quite sad if it were to be scrapped...that was a favorite of mine

I'm disappointed...there were NO Neos on the 66 this evening...what's up with that?

I was there earlier, I did saw like 2 Neoplans going around the yard, and 2 leaving the Depot. This was around 1120ish...Alwell I guess I should had catch 3486 when i had the chance to a few weeks ago on the 5. All I see at Frankford mainly these days are New Flyers...

Mr Greene,

If only you saw some of the stuff that took place with the 8600s assigned to Midvale in their final years(2000-June 2002). By that time, a bus like 8645 couldn't even do a trip on the H/XH without something going wrong with the vehicle.

On the 18 at Cheltenham and Romfort Road, it reads Romfort and Cheltenham for Route 77. This stop for route 201 and R5, Fort Washington Station. The 18 don't go nowhere near Fort Washington Station.
