Spotted a DASH 1998-1999 Gillig Phantom being towed south down I-395 along the mixing bowl. Could not get the # but it was a 4x or a 5x bus. Not sure where it was heading but it could be retired. Others from today:
1A 6386?
1B 6370
1A 6597
PRTC 194 Montclair (yes, an Advantage on the Montclair line! Rare indeed).

Don't the P6 usually use New Flyer hybrids and Orion Vs?

7241 on the X2
Stopped by Bladensburg. Saw 6184 and 6196.
At the lot where the damaged buses are, 7138 is still there (it's been a couple of months), as well as 2144, 3072, 6487, 2463, 7003, and 2615.
Also, I might have seen 7089 in one of the rehab bays, as well as another 2100 and a C40LF. 7089 has also been at Bburg for the past couple of months.

Yes.

Before Shep Pkwy opened, Blade did do some AM and PM runs on the P6. Was thinking that S41 was running on it, but school routes don't usually have their own block numbers.
