 you mean www.ttmg.org. Transitalk.org is no longer on the web address, they changes the web site address since last year. By the way Bus # 141 had arrived last 2 weeks ago

 So the Gillig BRTs are starting to arrive? If 141 is one of them they are possibly numbered 141-150.

 So 141-148 are Gillig Advantage hybrids? I thought they were the new BRTs until now. Plus I didnt think they would be numbered as 300s due to the fact there is plenty of room for DART to number buses in the 100 series numbering.

 I am going to make another trip to Wilmington DE before the year is out. But I dont know when. When I do go I am going to check out the bus yard to see the new Gillig buses that arrived.

I was going to take a pic of the New look with my camera but my battery is dead, I hope you could come down to Wilmington get to see it that new look of that Bus.

 Ive seen the Gillig BRT design but I do hope to see DARTs new BRTs. Hopefully I can get a good view of them in the bus yard while driving past. Since your not really suppose to be in the bus yard and I dont know anywhere nearby to park to walk past the bus yard. I will drive past to check things out. Im planning on arriving on a late Friday afternoon and leaving the following Sunday. That Saturday I will spend the day in Philly. And I will still have the evening to rome Wilmington before I have to be back home Sunday.

 I don't know if this was ever answered, but, I rode a couple of the newer Gilligs today. Both the 30-ft and 40-ft Gillig Advantages have an Allison transmission.
