Space is indeed at a premium at Comly Depot. Right before the PM peak started, a few Neos were parked outside the depot property on Penn St, with 5081 parked on Bustleton. Once the remaining Neoplan CDs are taken off the road after the 5541-5585 Flyers arrive, all buses will probably be stored inside the depot's grounds. A couple of ex-Red Arrow buses - 8705 and 8710 - are still being used for school trippers, though 8705 appeared to be struggling to get up to speed after leaving the depot and heading north on Bustleton. As of this afternoon, 5541-5546 were being used in revenue service, mainly on the Roosevelt Blvd and Bustleton Av corridors (14/20 and 58), though 5546 did sneak in a run or two on the 24...
It appears that all of the remaining 8800s at Frankford have either been retired or sent to other depots, though given their age, they're most likely awaiting their fate at the Midvale scrap yard. The few 8600s should be retired by this summer. The 5500s at Frankford are mainly being used on the 8, 26, K, and R, at least from what I saw...
Buses appeared on the 66 today, apparently due to some wire problems along Frankford Avenue. Mainly 3100s were used for the bustitution today from personal observations during the mid-day hours...
With the temporary detour in effect on the 77 along Township Line Rd, a new timetable was issued for the 77, dated March 3. Additionally, there is new limited stop service along Cottman between Roosevelt Blvd and Central Av, presumably to avoid conflicts with the 70 local service in that corridor. The 77 will only stop on Cottman at Central Av (connections with 70 South, 24 North), Rising Sun/Oxford (18, 24 South, 67 North), Whitaker (19, 67 South), Castor (59), Bustleton (58) and Roosevelt Blvd (1, 14, 20)...
New timetables have been issued for the 11, 13, 34, and 36. I have yet to confirm if there's a new timetable for the 10, but I would imagine that there is. The 36 timetable reflects the shuttle bus operation between the Woodland Car Shops and Eastwick Loop...
The 92, 104, 119, and 314 will be detoured tomorrow night between 5:00pm and around 10:00pm because of the first of four Thursday night street fests in West Chester. Gay St will be closed between Matlack and High Sts during this time. On Sunday, Gay St in West Chester will be closed between Matlack and New Sts for the borough's annual Super Sunday festival.
