@bigblockz8 i am a first class bus mechanic for septa in PHILADELPHIA we do not use voith period. we use allison b 500 and zf 6 speed and the allison e 40 for the hybrid new flyers

[bigblockz8]

@fedex121 Yeah. Only things I dont like about SEPTA are the signs and the fact that you guys have a DD50 in an artic! (I hate the DD50 diesel anyways) Everyone else goes with a DD60 or another engine. I guess they have seen the light though because you guys are repowering those NFI's with ISL's. I find it funny that SEPTA even has a baby B300 on that ElDorado. I would like to ride those NFI's with a ZF 6 and an ISL! Thats speed right there!

Ha! Per your description, I believe they should have saved an "A" Metro (1986, 8700-8774, 8800-8874, etc.).

This bus is a 9700 or low 9800 series. I can hear that familiar Voith whine.
