I know this is not a bus but 9072 was involved in an accident a few months back with 9017 and was banged up pretty significantly. Well I spotted it few days back in service.

Got pics of 5301 and 5458 is getting engine work done and they begin to repair it. 8458 had some side damage and 5325 had been patched and need painting and cosmetic work.

Its at the paint both tonight it looks to have had major body work done all the rust holes filled and dents removed it will look new when done hopfully i can get a pic of it fresh out the paint booth. But they are know to paint overnight and send da bus out the next day after a few hours of letting the paint settle dry.

Took a walk thru southern yesterday with septafan. 5301 has finished its paint work but sadly once its rehab is complete it will be decommissioned from the SEPTA fleet and handed over to another company or TA. The bus has already been sold.

Mechanic told us it was sold to another company.
