"Dell Special" was the route designation used for the service from Center City to the Dell. It never went anywhere near the Boulevard. (The route number & destination sign rolls are set independently on SEPTA's vintage Flxible. And to make things even sillier, the side sign on that bus is not the correct one-it's for Red Arrow Division!)
At the risk of become bus.net, one of the vintage busses was labeled "DELL SPECIAL / Roosevelt Blvd & Comly Rd".
What's the Dell Special? Is that a shuttle buss between Blvd & Comly and the music venue?
