New Flyer training bus on Lincoln.

This morning while waiting for the southbound Lincoln bus at Bryn Mawr a 1000 series New Flyer training bus drove by. An RTS was right behind so we got to follow the Flyer pretty closely, which turned east onto Foster. I also saw a 5800 series New Flyer northbound at about the same time with an amber destination sign. It's the first time I've seen that. Being able to read the destination sign was a nice change!

Both 5851 and 5852 from NP have amber destination signs. One of the two is probably what you sawy

Is this an ongoing replacement program or are those buses it as far as the amber signs go?

They were probably just tests before the signs were specified for 6709 and later. 5850 had a different type of flip sign (see post 1687). Since the 5800s went through the full rehab, I doubt that they will be further modified.
