YoungBusLover Posted April 13 Report Posted April 13 Rehabs on the 7900s appear to have started in some capacity over the past several months. I've seen a lot more pop up at SS getting major work done on them which includes a fresh coat of paint, mechanical upgrades and new front and rear end panels. Quote

With the new panels do they still have the window or are they like the 8325 and up? Quote

Javi75 Posted April 22 Report Posted April 22 Does NP operate its small handful of 7900s on other routes than the 36? I’ve only ever seen NPs 7900s on the 36 almost looks like a route preference for certain buses. Quote

Mr.cta85 Posted August 3 Report Posted August 3 8146 is another buss I seen that looks like 8156. They both have that top missing and looking more like the 8350’s. I like that look it would be nice if they could rehab the rest of the 7900’s to look the same. Quote
