If the 6 goes back to Midvale and the 9, 32, 61 and 62 should go back to Allegheny, does that mean the 35 should go with it? Also,while we're at it...why not send part of the 7 back to Midvale, and the 26 and 89 back to Frankford. (that way Kelso can get back to Frankford, where he wants to be...), but we will leave that subject alone all together. Anyoone think that the 25 should be split with Southern? There is a rule now which states: Wherever your vehicle breaks down at, the closest garage has to come and service your vehicle, or bring you a new one, whatever the need calls for. Thats why you might see 8109 at Callowhill, or an ElDorado at Frankford. Before, waiting for a mechanic at Pier 70 when your NABI broke down on the 25 to ocme all the way from Frankford, sucked, when it was your last trip. CA Crafter's right, by the way. Route 6-->Safe than sorry. 35 was at Allegheny for a short period in the mid-90's and had its own fleet of 3 35' Neos there. To move it now a similar group of El D's would need to be reassigned from Midvale. When the El D's first arrived, they were supposed to be assigned to 39 but I don't think that lasted very long (if at all). If 39 can be served by them, it would make sense to move 8-10 El D's to Allegheny. 7 was split between Southern and Allegheny until '92 or so when it went to Southern. It was never out of Luzerne or Midvale as far as I know. SEPTA had plans back then to truncate it in Fairmount so it would no longer duplicate the 48 on 29th St but I think those plans are out of the picture now. 25 should probably be split with Southern, although a lot of the peak hour service doesn't get south of Spring Garden St, so you'd end up with the same situation that was on 5 for a while after it was cut short to Market St.
