When SEPTA start the charter routes a.k.a. the 400 series and why were they created? Plus where is the location of the old Luzerene district and what became of the property after SEPTA closed it?

The Luzerne Depot became some sort of depot for shipping for a truck company, I think. I've seen it, but I don't remember the exact location. It's off the 53 route, though. The 53 actually used to terminate at the depot until it was sold, and then it was extended to Broad St. and Hunting Park Ave. Dunno much about the 400 series routes, though, but I wouldn't be surprised if they predate SEPTA. |

I think I read that the 400 series were created in 1990 actually but not sure and so the 53 is the only way to get the old Luzerne District then? |

Its at 10th and Luzerne. Bran is right, a shipping company uses it now and a part of the old property has a community center on it (10th Street Side - off the old east pull-in lead.) |

Yup, I believe that the route 53 trolley layover point was right in front of the Depot's entrance. |
