Will everyone in the PTV group be invited?

Of course! It's going to take a lot of digging to see when the last trip is next spring. I'll keep asking my Frankford contacts.

I say lets fill the bus with a standing, swinging load!

This is the coolest thing to happen in Philly for a long while.
I ride the PCC-II's on the 15 and they are OK, but the trackless will be more fun.
I really wondering how far they will be able to go on the diesel.

Some of the operator's who drove trackless before are very excited about the new ones. The driver on Route 75, 2102 block is talking about them. He's the one who will have a Neo for his run until the last day.

5701 and 5704 were spotted unoverhauled yesterday. 5697 is unoverhauled. All three buses still have DD50 engines.

within the past few days

3423 was on the 8 this morning at Olney TC.
5247 had water leaking through the roof, and was getting into the bus via the speakers. floor was soaking wet as well. It was on the ~6:40 18 run from Fox Chase to Wadsworth (sp?) and Maschner (sp?)

Had a very bad encounter on the day it rained (last week) at the Fox Chase loop involving a very arrogant driver. Not going to go into details, just that I submitted a report via the SEPTA website.

How does it differ? If I remember, I'll take a pic/look out for it when I see it again.

I'm mad because 3418 was on the 55 again...on the same run! This means it pulls into the Willow Grove Mall, then goes out of service and deadheads (with friends) back to wherever it came from. Therefore, no ride for me.

I tried to get a picture, but since it was nighttime all I got was blurriness and an irritable attitude...perhaps a cold as I passed up my 98 to see if the bus just went to layover...

Hopefully I get a Neo tomorrow...last week there were none on the 66...NONE!

I wonder if it would be possible to charter it. Too bad there aren't any bus advocacy/fan groups that can do that...

I'd charter 2 or 3 - 3372, 3430 and 3395...wonderful! :)
