At least 3 2001 New Flyer D40LF assigned to southern were spotted repainted last week. Those buses being 5491, 5492, and 5499.

This weekend from Friday 8PM to 5am Monday morning, the MFL will be running a Bus substitution Every weekend from now and by the end of August the Market Frankford line over the weekends will be running a bus substitution . The shuttle buses will only make stops on streets corresponded to where to MFL stations are located.

It appears that there are two (2) Eldorado though out the entire fleet that has received an mid life overhauled. There fleet numbers are Germantown’s #4503 and Frontier #4526. Both of these buses also were spotted with a Twin vision All-LED (orange) designation Sign. It is unclear at this moment rather or not the rest of the Eldorado will received new designation signs as well. There has been reports that there are 4542 and 4571 were in various stages of overhauled.

It appears that SEPTA have placed full wraps on these buses, which contain the ‘blue’ Adventure Aquarium wrap, and these buses are 5430 and 5588. Also on a rather interesting notice 5658 now has a THP properties Full wrap. Which makes a total of 3 buses with this wrap assigned the frontier. Which is a pretty interesting considering that over the years SEPTA has choose 2 buses at frontier to sport this wrap. These 2 buses were previously 3487 and 3488, which were assigned the frontier until March of 2005. As there replacements 5151 and 5140 received THP properties wraps. Could this mean that SEPTA has a contract of 3 buses that sport this wrap or does it mean that SEPTA is planning to replace their NABI’s this summer by flyers which as this point is still a rumor? Anyways the latest spotted repainted buses is southern’s 5491, Callowhill’s 5020 and Southern’s 5387

The rumor about the Orion VII back at Southern is now confirmed to be true. The Orion VII demo that was spotted by Nolan Harper & Rick Smith pulled into southern late last night. It’s kind of vague within regards to how long the Orion VII will stay on the properties of SEPTA. More information on this is expected later on.

There has been some rumors and reports the the MTA Orion VII DEMO is spotted back at Southern depot. This demo was tested about an month ago mainly on 37 routes.
