The a/c in the summer is a little too good, IMO. That a/c required sweaters/jackets. I have a suspicion that whatever is causing the problem with the heat caused the problems with the a/c in the summer as well. |

I was also told that somewhere along Frankford Avenue is a switch that screws up the electrical system when you go through it. Ithink its the one near Bleigh. It'd be interesting to find more info out about that. I used to live in the Logan triangle. My address was 923 W. Wyoming Avenue. Leon used to take me to school every morning from 1st grade to 3rd grade. Then we were forced to move. We were some of the last people living in the triangle before those torned down. I miss my house. |

Coach 820 was seen along Route 75 today, in testing mode. The shop guys were driving it, must have just been fixed. Now if we can get 800 on the road? 59-2002 has 835 today, it's now on the 75 route as we speak. 11:15 AM 02/24/09 Chuck Greene |

Good heat in 806 today. 59-2002 , which is now on the 75 has student drivers for the last 3 trips on the 75. The operator is relaxing in the back conversing with the passengers.The students will all graduate early next week. A lot of trucks on the 75 at J. Silvert's (2nd & Wyoming)today, PECO is repairing line poles or something. Chuck |

Route 59 had to drive aronud on EPU for most of the night on Monday. they were doing wire work. you'd think she would have gotten a bus, right? frankford avenue needs to be repaird from dyre to arrott streets in both directions. |

Both the wire and the street,I guess? I here the wire is so bad, the trackless has to do 15- 20 mph with the poles up. That's why a lot of operators EPU there. |

Yup, poor shotty overhead. PennDot & The City of Philadelphia have to repaved frankford avenue between arrott terminal adn levick street. the wires need to be replaced badly. there is a TT inside of beridge shops and TTs 812 and 813 as well as 825 were in the shops (9-bay) last night. |
