Yesterday I was at the transit museum store and I bought a die-cast bus in the old livery, you know the one made by road champs. Well when I bought the bus I looked at my recite and saw on the recite: MODEL - SEPTA NEOPLAN B. That was pretty slick of SEPTA calling it a Neoplan when the bus was actually a Grumman Flxible metro B.


That cashier was a idiot she looked carefully at the package and did not tell me it was half open. When I told my mom she said welcome to society.

You had a smoker. That's a badly out of tune bus. I got a phone call yesterday morning about it.

Oh YES! 3432 is certainly the smoker - I certainly wouldn't want to be standing to the back left of that one.

I wish I got a picture of it spewing out its black cloud, but I had to jet. It seemed to run somewhat decently, though (I wouldn't know for sure since I didn't have time for a ride).

A New Year's eve charter with a PCC-II and a raffle for a PCC-II Model, too!

http://www.subchat.com/read.asp?Id=543206

As most of you know, SEPTA recently raised the cost of a streetcar charter approximately 250%, making it very difficult for groups to charge a reasonable rate for a 4 hour charter. Due to the generosity of several FPT benefactors who have pledged a hefty down payment towards the cost of the annual NYE Trolley, Friends of Philadelphia Trolleys will again sponsor the annual trip.

Date: December 31
Time: 10.00 PM til 2 AM
Location: PCC-II Car departs promptly from Rt. 10's 63-Malvern Loop,
Fare: $45.00
Snacks and drinks will be available on the car.

For a reservation, please send check asap, made out to FPT,Inc, to:

Harry Donahue
103 Mulberry Court
Morgantown, PA 19543

Any other questions contact had2709@aol.com

3432 also has an extremely strong smell of Diesel on the inside as well...Avoid this bus!!

Why is it that sometimes buses read one thing on the inside and something else on the outside? On Saturday August 11, I rode 5221 on the L and it read L: Plymouth Mtg Mall on the outside of the bus but on the inside the sign read Not in Service.
