*GAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSPPP* NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!*

Are you KIDDING me?! They just took out my THREE favorite Dorados in the fleet in one fell swoop?! 4526 was one of their best running Dorados! And 4522.....that was the first El Dorado I ever RODE, on the good old 95 PENN SQUARE when we went up to our house for the first time. And...and...4556 was cool, especially when it went to Germantown and ran on the 310.

SIGH... :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

When I first saw them in the Great Valley Corp Center area, I thought they were baby Neoplans.
Then I rode therm and heard the passenger and driver complaints. Not a good design, that short wheelbase.
Good-bye, bouncy bus!

LOL yes I saw a line of buses like 4540 and 4528 parked along the wall on the street, where the scrapped buses are cast aside. What valuable space are they taking up? Y'all aren't getting any additional buses at the moment, are you?

Frontier will be rather boring soon. Oh well.

The ONLY wat it won't be boring is if you get a 56xx on one trip(outbound 124 trip to King Of Prussia) to board a ZFer(remixed or original) on another route to go elsewhere, knowing that there is a good probability that you will be catching a hybrid back, along with another hybrid, a remixed or original ZFer, or a 56xx. If that isn't exciting, I don't know as to what is.

One more thing, all of those operators need to have "lead feet" to make the ride worthwhile, especially on an unremixed ZFer.

Seeing a Neoplan product would be awesome! :)

This reminds me of the days of the Neo when all the AN440s were based at Frankford. Somehow, a Neo miraculously made it's way all the way up to Willow Grove Mall...IN SERVICE (but it would go out of service at the mall). I dunno HOW they did that...or why. Now THAT'S excitement! ^_^

So, any updates to the Dorado scrappings? Dorados are getting to be harder to find out in Bucks County, and I saw an LFR on the 3:40 150 at Parx Casino...the run that would never get anything but a Dorado!
