Landover now has 4251, 4252, 4255, and 4256, Annex still has 4257-4259 (coords for 4252 show that it's apparently deadheading to Landover, but I have seen this bus on a Landover route recently)

Why are artics at Western? Isn't it too small for those buses?

There's only one there for the time being. 5205. It mainly goes out just on rush hour runs on the 30s and one time was on the 64.

I'm 6000 miles away from Western right now instead of my usual 1 mile, but even so, I'm very skeptical of a report that 5205 is actually at Western, the depot doesn't have any maintenance bays that can support an artic.  If I remember when I get up in the morning (6 hours ahead of the US), I'll try and see where this bus is spending the night.

5205 on the 42 doesn't neccesarily == 5205 is at Western.

It's there. According these NextBus coordinates, it's currently at the Wisconsin Ave side of the division.

When I check it earlier today, it was at the Jennifer St/44th St side. But why is it at Western, is what I want to know. Maybe for some kind of test.

I'm getting the same thing (it is 4:30 AM right now in DC).  Very strange...

Your source please? Until I see picture proof of this I will not believe it. My thinking is that the tracking system was taken off 5205 and was put on another bus and the bus number was not changed in the system when installed. This happened ALL the time at Ride On with fareboxes. Old buses retired, fareboxes were pulled out and put into new buses that were being delivered with the old unit number showing it was still operating. Now I will try and verify if 5205 is REALLY at Western Division :-)

5452's system hasn't worked at all. It still shows it as being at CET although I've seen it running on the 71 and logged in.
