So the initial order of artics from the last report was for expansion; now this new order is for replacement of the 1998 Neoplan AN460 and for more fleet expansion to relieve overcrowding on some routes?

Yes, PAT had the option to order more New Flyer's after the initial 25. And yup, the DD50 Neo's will be gone in 2012 while the DD60 Neo's will hang around. |

I may squeeze in a ride on at least one of the 2005 Neoplan AN460s to see how they are compared to SEPTAs and WMATAs AN460s. And maybe even some of the Gillig Advantages. As well as the T. I am planning to leave out around 5:40am to head to Pittsburgh and hope to be there before 11am. But that will depend on traffic and how many times Ill have to pull off of the turnpike. And I should be able to have Friday afternoon and evening as well as all day Saturday in Pittsburgh. Sunday. I havent decided for sure if I will just head straight home after checking out of the hotel or if I plan to roam Pittsburgh any before heading home. I do plan to eat at the original Primanti brothers that weekend for lunch. Either Friday or Saturday. Im leaning towards Friday. And dinner I plan to eat casual dining downtown if possible.

I just noticed the part of South 27th Street with all of the stores and restaurants. Does anyone know the name of that area? Im thinking about squeezing that in during my weekend in Pittsburgh. And which ever night I am on my own for dinner I do intend on going to the Cheesecake Factory. I may sit at the bar at this one just like I do in Towson. |

This area is called the SouthSide Works. There is the Cheesecake Factory, a movie theater, plus other stores and restaurants. There are bus routes that connect it to downtown and Oakland if you didn't want to drive. Edited by Jayayess1190, Apr 22 2011, 02:19 PM.
