I’m sure they’ll pick something nice like ThyssenKrupp, Kone or Otis. If you get permission to film the lifts in the new building. But I think Campbell Court should have been grade 3 listed. This building has a beautiful mix of 1900s and 1980s architecture. And the offices could have been converted into apartments.
Are you going to try to get the lantern with the broken dinner bell along with the calls? I know the COP is too big and you won’t be able to take that but I figured if your going to get the calls you should try to get the lantern also.

Also, Valley Metro's diesel Gilligs that are 40-ft are numbered 5600-5644. *By year: 5600-5611 are MY2018, 5612-5624 are MY2019 and 5625-5644 are MY2020 *By garage: 5600-5631 are First Transit-West and 5632-5644 are Transdev-North

Different numbers to avoid confusion. *Route 16 (16th St) and Route 17 (McDowell Rd) are 1600 blocks, where Route 16 is 1600 East block and Route 17 is 1600 North block. Again, change the last digit to prevent confusion. *Route 96 (Dobson Rd) = Route numbers are based off the Phoenix grid as 9600 East. Dobson Rd is an RPTA-Mesa route, though Mesa has its own street grid. Also, Valley Metro has CNG 40' Gilligs as well. Buses 5121-5274 for Phoenix and 6750-6810 with RPTA. The fleet also has New Flyer buses.
