SEPTA POV: Route 102 to Sharon Hill! 

Indeed!

Haha yeah, it's as if SEPTA knew I was filming and wanted to make sure things looked good for the video!

You're welcome! I'm glad you got to experience it.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

Pretty much. The 101 has it much worse, it becomes single track after Woodland Ave (about halfway down the line) and two track again at Pine Ridge. Then it becomes single tracked again at Providence Road, which has two tracks but only one platform. You can only coordinate trolleys so well with one track, 2 would certainly be better for both lines.

It would be interesting to see SEPTA operate a proper BRT route...

Converting to BRT was proposed many years ago. However a lot of infrastructure improvements to the 101, 102, and NHSL were paid for using USDOT grants. I was told by a couple of SEPTA people that the money would have to be paid back if the rails were torn up. In any case I'm not sure I see what would be gained by converting to BRT. The lines are already approaching or at capacity, you can't MU buses at rush hour like they do with the trolleys, plus trolleys accelerate a lot faster than buses.

I don't have the original file to confirm it, but I believe it was was based on the phone I'm using

@@NorthEastCoastRailfan OK. Thanks for telling me.

About 5 minutes, I was lucky enough to get on right before departure.

There's a gap between the glass and a pole behind the operator's seat. I put my camera there so it wouldn't shake around too much

@@NorthEastCoastRailfan oh ok hope fully I can operate these trolleys one day

@@jcwnetwork5548 If you could only operate one trolley route, what would it be?

@@NorthEastCoastRailfan route 102

@@NorthEastCoastRailfan 101 for me, maybe the 13 or even the Norristown High Speed Line but if i had to b pick one, it's the 101 for me
