Today after school, I rode route 105 from Radnor to Strafford. The bus is New Flyer D40LF. I thought it was Detroit Diesel, but when it approch to the departing stop, I can hear its Cummins ISL powered to Allison B400

Yep, that bus as well as 5652, 5654, 5655 are overhauled at Victory. Keep your eyes peeled to the Vehicle Overhaul page for a more intense listing of them throughout the system.

I wish I could ride the New Flyers. Since I don't go to school in the city anymore, I rarely get to ride Septa. By now I would have rode many Cummins New Flyer's on the 18 & 22. :(

Aww, I had a Flyer on the 18 this morning <3 and again I had one on the 67 coming home <33

I purposely waited past two 67's this evening.. both Flyers.. In hopes of a Neo. Oh well.

I just hope the mechanics don't go and govern them down later. I was on the expressway recently near Gulph Mills, and 5651 went flying past me like I was parked.

I was doing about 62....LOL!!

Yea I think the mechanics are given these engines the "break in" period which could explain the speeds exceeding the 62+mph... I know last weekend, I won't mention the bus but it was going 70mph plus on the expressway....I hope they never get to them as the drivers does need the extra speed...Same thing for a zfer which I will not give out its number which was going good highway speeds.
