Yesterday, I saw CUE Gillig Phantom #829 near Pentagon on 1-395 Not in service.

Not much activity today, but I did ride a new Omnilink Gillig Advantage.
PRTC WB VRE Station 274
PRTC FC/SF 190
FFX 372 9769

To add to this, there is apparently a bus #276 @ PRTC, so the 2013 order of Advantages could very well be up to as high as #280. I'll keep an eye out for other buses out there. Oh and one more thing, saw the now retired 1998-1999 FFX Orion V #7903 (30 Footer) in a storage lot along Route 1 in Fairfax. This bus been here since at least 2011 actually.

7A 2623
25A 2536
C22 4216 (Finally, I got a 1997 Orion V!)
PRTC SR1 382
As I was heading home, I saw 1997 Orion V #4364 by Landmark Mall entering I-395 in Alexandria. Was this bus training?

[Chargerdodge9]

Also confirmed, #6439 is now at West Ox. Seen it on layover in Southern Towers for the 28X.

Stopped by Four Mile Division yesterday and saw seven 1997 Orions (42-4300) on the US 1 side that are "Ready reserve" buses.

[Chargerdodge9]

Really? If that's the case, that could explain why I saw #4364 the other day near Landmark.

Saw this on Friday and it was ART 5086 heading along Duke Street west, heading towards I-395, it might have been heading back to the garage.................or that parking lot next to FMR.

[WES]

Saw 6 white Xcelsiors parked at CET.

[Chargerdodge9]

White XDE40s? That's weird. Anyway, I saw several 1997 Orion Vs (from Four Mile Run) in service today.
7Y 4361
25C 4360
NIS 4297
29C 4358
NIS 4366.

In addition, seems that Royal street has partially repainted #2122. Saw that bus on the 10A and it looked really clean for the most part. Also, don't know for sure, but I could of sworn I saw #2186 today at Pentagon. Got to go out later this week to confirm this. One more thing, saw PRTC OmniLink #271 deadheading north on I-95, presumably to the PRTC bus depot.
