4308 and 4358 were on the 80 today

Confirmed 6404 is now Montgomery as well. This bus still screams (thanks West Ox for this screamer!) and here's a short video of it

In my long absense, and after the latest round of Bussian Roulette, a few observs.
1)3045, 49 and 51 are now at Landover, saw 3045 doing an A12 a few days ago.

2)The next batch of Xcelsiors are now going into service saw 7168 doing a T18 and 7174 deadheading back to Landover.

And then all of that bus moving crap going on.

Went to Bburg again today, saw 2728 in there still in the old paint. I would have thought by now that it's in the new paint and almost ready to come back. I also saw an un-numbered red Orion VII. I forgot to check on 2724 this time

5300 parked at Shady Grove (east side), and 5705 on the 46 (looks like this one's no longer a training bus).

NewFlyer9736BCT · October 21, 2012, 10:52:48 PM

7168, 7177, 7182, 6414, 6415, 6448, 6499, 7095, 2441, (and tons more) were on the Red Line Shuttle tonight. I rode 7168 from Bethesda to Grosvenor. Not sure if the driver was just driving her slow, or if the actual bus is slow.

Also saw 7183 out there on the shuttle Sunday night.
