Some more route swaps are in the works in Northeast Philadelphia this summer. The 73 will be moved from Frankford to Comly, a swap that will also see about 10 operators transferred to Comly. The 26 is still slated to move from Frankford to Midvale as will all 54 trips presently assigned to Frankford. The 1 and R trips from Frankford will remain where they are for now. There was talk of moving the 8 from Frankford to Allegheny, but that didn't pan out...
When the summer pick takes effect in June, some buses will be moved from Frankford to Comly. There are some structural issues at Comly Depot, however. Bay 1 at Comly is encountering some sinking, which may force some buses to be parked on Bustleton Av. Also, the a/c unit in the operators area is not working properly...
The training of Frankford operators on the New Flyers is nearly 85% complete. Within the next 2-3 weeks, Comly operators will begin training on the New Flyers, most likely borrowing a couple of Flyers from Frankford...
On Sundays, there are three non-stop express trips via the Frankford Av express routing between Franklin Mills and Frankford Terminal - 3 AM trips to Franklin Mills and 3 PM trips to Frankford Terminal. Apparently, these trips were added recently and do not appear on the schedule. One of the PM trips departs Franklin Mills at 4:20pm; I haven't been able to confirm the other departure times.
