>>1033378Luzerne depot is completely gone man, sold to a box company. SEPTA would have to expand Midvale Depot to accommodate streetcars. SEPTA also divested of the electric substations and permitted the city to rip up and pave the tracks in South Philly. PECO is still obligated to maintain the Germantown segment for some reason, but as long as the 23 has to run all the way to Market it's not coming back. The route 23/45 split should have happened at Erie instead of Center City.
The 15 also has worse on-time performance than the bus it's supplemented with because our retarded City Council opposed signal transit priority and lane segregation. Philadelphia's surface trolley operations are shit, but prospective plans with the new trolley replacements include 2-block stop spacing and curb bumpouts for the West Philadelphia lines
