I see the Wayne Junction Rte. 75 EPU use detour has been removed form the list.

I reminded SEPTA of this with the on-line comment form yesterday, that the wires were done.

So either that did it, or it was done by the department before my comment.

They are still inspecting the El, so power is off for the 59 & 75 for apparently the rest of the week, so that's why we see buses on the 59 & 75.

I guess 4700 Penn St. is open?
Nope...

At the end of that quote he asked if 4700 Penn St. was open and it isn't.

It will take until 10/03/2009 to fix the steps.
Next year they will install 3 elevators. Mass chaos will be there for sure!

SEPTA slid the clips over in the Wayne Junction station area so the Rte. 75 trackless can park closer to the curb. A driver has confirmed the set up is working well. I will get another confirmation later today from a second driver.

The 59 is running bus all week, they are still inspecting the EL.
There is one trackless on the 59, he goes to the 75 at 8;35 AM, so they gave him a trackless.
The 75 is all trackless today. Makes no sense to me.
4700 Penn St. is still being paved, so another EPU detour for a few days for the 59 & 75.

The operators tell me the Route 75 left turn from Wayne on to Roberts is a little tricky for the trackless poles.
You can't go very fast or one pole comes off. Perhaps a little tweaking is needed there by the wire crew.
