7215 is TECHNICALLY a 7/68E/BSO Nightliner that starts at 7, DH to 33rd St, Does two and a half on the 7, Takes a 35 minute lunch at the District, DH to UPS, 3 rounds on the Express then finishes Starting out at UPS at 3.51, Continues at B&O as a BSO to the Rock, then DH back home, off at 5.20.

I was just thinking about the last time I rode The Bastard.......The Thursday before christmas on the BSO after pulling a double at the UnderPaid Slavehouse. We had a idiot on 7215, Dumped everyone at Broad and Oregon then Deadheaded up Broad to City Hall forcing about 50 people who was on 7215 and a additional 40 who was on his follower, 7686 to that one owl, 3554. I managed to Squeeze on and get a seat, but didn't get far cause the suspension gave at South Street from Overloading.

What great times.........

Oh no, the grip of management & their desire to work the living daylights out of SEPTA City Transit Division personnel has stretched down to Southern depot as well.

7215:block: a run on the 7, in conjunction with the 68E & BSO?

I thought Southern personnel, for the most part, had operators who worked runs with solid runs at a 9.5 hour minimum(i.e, 4 roudtrips on a late on the 17) & only one route(unless a school tripper, like a trip on the 409 in the afternoon factored into a late on the 64 is factored into the equation). I didn't think that Southern operators worked more than 2 routes at a time(like a trip on the 17, turning into either a 2 or G for the remainder of the run & nothing more).

The "two & three route thing" within an 8 hour period, that stemmed from the management & their desire to work the crap out of Suburban Transit Operators.

Unfortunately, many runs assigned to Callowhill, Allegheny & Midvale have had their run times reduced & have had more routes added onto one run, & the weekday straights have been slashed to swings.

For example, 23, 3104 block, comes out as an early & as many as 2 or 3 operators make relief on this one block). There are runs on several Allegheny & Callowhill routes that have operators make relief as much as three times.

Despite being retired, 4 Neos are parked outside Frankford. They are 3482, 3419, one unknown, and 3428. Looks like they'll be hauled off soon.
