SEPTA had variety when we were children. RTSs, Neo AKs, Neo BDs, PCCs, Almond Joys, Pioneer IIIs for the Paoli local, Luzerne & their "mystery mix", Blueliners for the Reading side of RRD, 8800s assigned to Frontier, AMG units, Volvos & among others, ticket vending machines @ RRD stops.
Yea, those days are long over my friend. I just take the bad in with the good. SEPTA's new management obviously does not have the enthusiasm as the management of yesteryear where they preserved older buses. It sucks, yet in NYC they actually ran these buses in revenue service during Christmas time.

I don't know why SEPTA couldn't just store it in another depot, I can't wait for the Fleet at Germantown! (sarcastically)

At lest we know the future artics will be assigned 7001-7155. I doubt a Neo Artic will be saved though.

I was on the Expressway this evening and had a peek in the Midvale Death Yard. Only a handful of NABI's remain.

And exactly how do we know that? Wouldn't the next batch start with 7200?

1.7101-7155 are still being used.

2.It would not start with 7200 because 7200-7255 are Neos.

My guess would be 7300 for the next batch.
