I assume NABIs will be sent to other depots...Hopefully Callowhill will get something out of this... Wouldn't be shocked if they were sent to over to depots such as Southern or Victory to replace and stock of 5000 series nabis... 5074 is up for resale and 5063 may get scrapped...

I saw 5242 pulling in on the 30 and thought it was just moved from Midvale to Callowhill within the past couple of days...

That's a Frontier bus(& hopefully it will stay that way, with an EZ Pass mounted on the roof). 5349 has been at Midvale for quite some time. 5349 hasn't been assigned to Frankford since 2004 or 2005.

Advanced Transit Fan Posts: 710 Group: Members Member #7 Joined: February 20, 2005	I guess that leaves 5928 as the only ex-Allegheny bus that remains unaccounted for. Has anyone seen that bus lately?
