ARCHIVES - 5/12/02

Late trips on the 92 have reached epidemic levels. The 4:25pm trip to Exton (19 block) left well over a half hour late. As the 4:50pm trip to West Chester (22 block) turned off of Marshall onto High St at 5:15pm, 19 block was turning off of High onto Marhsall. You know, a supervisor stationed at Parkway Shopping Center once in a while might not be a bad idea...

Route 92 service yesterday may have been running a few minutes late due to heavy congestion on S High St related to the West Chester University commencement ceremonies. Pull-outs to Parkway Shopping Center operated via Paoli Pike, Gay St, and High St instead of via US 202/322 to the end of the bypass...

Red Arrow 5409 is out of service for a while after being involved in an accident recently. There is some damage to the rear of the bus on the street side. In other Red Arrow news, some of the 3000s and 3100s at Frankford are being sent to Red Arrow. I would imagine that some would also be sent to Midvale to retire the rest of the 8600s still in service...

Friday's accident on the Blue Route caused major headaches for the 123 - which normally uses the Blue Route between I-76 and West Chester Pike - and most of the West Chester Pike corridor routes. Route 105 service along Lancaster Av in Radnor Twp also was delayed since traffic was detoured off 476 South at Lancaster Av.
