Red Arrow 3118 was involved in a minor accident this morning while in service on the 109 (404 block). Apparently, a truck hit the bus as 3118 was turning off of Long Lane onto Marshall Rd. It didn't appear that any people were hurt, there were about 4 Upper Darby police officers at the scene. Passengers were transferred onto the 11:00am 109 to Chester...

The damage to 3118 must have been minor since it was spotted later in the day deadheading back to the garage on West Chester Pike in Havertown at around 4:25pm...

The SEPTA/KYW Free Ride Tuesday promotion began today as 5385 was used as the Free Ride bus on the 21/42. It appears that the bus will remain at Callowhill for the first 5 weeks of the promotion before moving on to the next depot. According to reliable (and confidential) sources, next week's Free Ride Tuesday line will be the 30, with the promotion also scheduled to take place on the 31, 44/121, and G buses over the next few weeks...

Over the weekend, the 5500s began seeing service on Comly routes. 5542 was seen on the 14/20 on Sunday. This most likely means the end of the road for the remaining 8700s and 8800s at Comly.
