There is a possibility of Allegheny losing up to most 20 Neo Artics by the time school begins and the Septa School Schedules go into effect. Question is now Where will they go(If it happens)? Word says Southern/Callowhill according to a post in my "Which Depot Is Next To Receive" Post. There is no definite answer of how many out of the 20 Artics Southern/Callowhill will get. We've seen 30 Artics go to Comly around the same time Last Year. If anyone knows more about this Neo Artic swap-off please tell. |

Simply, there's no Neo Artic-swap off.. First of all Allegheny is set to receive 8280-8319, these 40 buses will replace the 40 2004 New Flyers which are/were at Allegheny. The only thing Allegheny is losing is their zfers which are to be split between Frankford and Victory and possibility Frontier. Second of all, when Comly got their artic buses for the 14, the drivers were training on them since June or July of 2008. 7122 and 7130 were the training buses. Many of the drivers were trained in order to drive on the route 14. Before this time, none of the drivers were trained on the Neoplans unless transferred out to Comly from a depot with artics. Also it was written in the FY2009 proposal that the route 14 would get artics. In order to meet this Fall 2009 deadline, the drivers at these aforementioned depots has to undergone vigorous training sessions. But hey this is SEPTA so we shall see... |
