FLX9304

You’re late on this one

This is the first of 10 buses that will be in service out of Midvale District. It could be on: 16, 22, 23, 26, 32, 35, 39, 53, (56), 61, 62, 77, (80), H, L or XH. Routes in parentheses also operate with articulated buses. Not listed are routes that are split with Southern and articulated routes.

The UFT is the teachers Union and teachers are part of the city as well, but that’s another story for the topic. To the R211 topic, there will be enough for the & to cover the fleet when all this is said & done.

Frivolous or fabricated lawsuits. People want money the easy way

They haven’t got to excercise Option II yet. Let Option 1 play out first before Option 2 is officially placed in order.

The above post part 2: SEPTA NF XHE40 701 is part of a 30 bus order which includes 10 Battery operated bus in 40’ and 2 different articulated buses, 5 buses each of battery & hydrogen. The Hydrogen buses are also replacing the 82xx series in Midvale and transferring 5 73xx to Comly. The electric 10 buses could be heading to either Frankford or Comly for 81xx/83xx/84xx replacements and 5 articulated to Allegheny.

But it also depends on the need of this bus. If the accident was minor, then yes, bus can be repairable and return to service when deemed operational. That’s up to the depot’s maintenance crews and the dispatcher. If the bus is not, then this bus will be used for parts once a second used bus arrives at the depot within the time of call. But since this bus is 16 years old, then it’s time to go.

SEPTA NFXHE40 701 has landed. These buses, numbered 701-710 will be assigned to Midvale Depot

There were problems from the very start. wiring, emergency exit windows, and failed watertightness and brake-test failures were the biggest issues that have plagued these cars since the first 2 cars were built. So for all the excitement about the bi-level cars, it’s gone out the window

The reason it’s not done by rail because of previous accidents on the tracks. So They use 3 to 5 oversize fit trucks to deliver them to Brooklyn. They are lead by either a pickup truck or a car with yellow sirens on them to let other vehicles know to pass them. These excess weight trucks have a restriction on speed.

I wouldn’t even list them as this. I’ll go as what’s in service, what’s in BIT, and what got here. All others it’s just wait & see

It’s there only for CBTC testing only.

6 cars on the (7), especially during baseball games? That’s pathetic! They should’ve treated baseball fans of yesteryear than what they do today. I only counted off peak hours, not peak because most of the lines were full length, with the exception of the & the . The very short AA becomes the long CC during peak hours, so they do share the same car lengths

4-6 weeks. Remember: cars must be redeemed “Safe to operate” by said yard before it can be placed in revenue service. So far, 13 R211As and 2 R211T sets (130/20) are in service.
