    • 4581 Notes-Some of the questions about the mysterious "new" bus to SEPTA's fleet have been answered. Creighton Rabs reported 4581's serial number (1C084228) does not match the Serial numbers (1C084147-1C084225) of the rest of the Eldorado base order 4502-4580, this puts to rest the suggestions that this bus is 4539 which is dead storage at Midvale do to heavy fire damage. Also Forum member "rider65" who saw this bus on the 103 reported that the manufacturers plate is faded and hard to read, with the driver of the bus telling him the bus was purchased from another Agency.

    • Site Rehab-

      The site has received a rehab after one year, along the changes we are please to announce several new sections around the site. Please feel free to venture in them...
      New Jersey Transit
      Dart
      Capital Area Transit
      Miscellaneous Items What next...? The areas in terms of content where its lacking such as Regional Rail, and Light/heavy Rail sections will get revised, and refurbish. There's plan a history section not to far down the road as well which is in its last stages of being released. The photo gallery is still questionable due to the lack of uploaded files within the last month. There may be a  infrastructures section plan as a resource to SEPTA's infrastructures such as buildings & their history. As for the rest well for the most part that remains to be seen...keep an eye out, there's some really neat changes to come...
