Time flies!

I am so glad that I went to this building back in October 2020! It will definitely be missed in the elevator community, and I LOVE the motor on this elevator!

I loved them.

[@Coolboy725]

Wait a minute... isn't Valley Metro route 15 called 15th Ave, and route 35 called 35th Ave, and route 41 called Indian School Rd? 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

[@DieselDucy]

I am not sure about the route numbers but they have neat buses!

[@Coolboy725]

@@DieselDucy Here are tips to learn the Valley Metro routes: *Route 35 (35th Ave) = 3500 West block *Route 41 (Indian School Rd) = 4100 North block *Route 7 (7th St) and Route 8 (7th Ave) are 700 blocks, where Route 7 is 700 East block and Route 8 is 700 West block. 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.

[@bernardtheaubreycoxandcoolgame]

Yep! It's the same one you rode with mack

[@DieselDucy]

I did.

[@NathanDavisVideos]

I wonder if this place was renovated to be like a mini-downtown shopping mall, or at least maybe a mixed-use complex. I mean you did say there WAS an escalator in here originally.

[@DieselDucy]

There was an escalator and this place will be torn down.

[@ElevatorDude]

Very sad to see this place and elevator go. They will truly be missed.

This was definitely very famous elevator on the channel over the years, and it is sad to see it go. I hope you will to get parts for the elevator museum as a tribute. With the new bus Depot being built, will you be filming there as well if it has a brand new elevator when the new facility opens up?

most of it will be apartments.

[@LiftEnthusiast2020OFFTOPIC]

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.
