In my opinion, Frankford & Southern really don't need them.

Midvale needs them the most, & if Midvale gets their batch, they'll be able to phase out more than half of their NABI fleet & I can kiss the 5000s from Callowhill that raidated over to Midvale goodbye.

If Southern gets their group, maybe they can do away with their 5300s.

If Southern & Frankford don't get their batches, Midvale would have 110 & that would completely rid them of NABIs, with 3 spare NF DE 41s & give the maintenance & mechanichal personnel something to look forward to coming to work for daily:

a. a new bus that doesn't need much fixing
b. a new bus with the clean smell without the scratchitti.

My word, that would be awful, wouldn't it!

i think Midvale has quite a few heavy hitter routes that need the larger capacity of the NABIs. I believe that's one of the reasons why the L has been using them almost exclusively during the weekdays.
