Look's like Montgomery gets the 1st 62LFA's and if Northern is still getting some there's gonna be something unexpected.

It doesn't necessarily mean it's going to start the B25 because the block is LF56. It could actually be starting the F4.

Do you understand the concept of interlining? Just because it has an LFxx block, doesn't mean it always stays on the F4/F6.

Just like the Q2 having a MWXX block, which is used on the express Z routes, right?

LF2X Always start the F1/2 or could be coming off the F1/2. It this was starting the B25, the block would be LB2X

Might not always be the case. Some interlines use the same block number to simplify things. As in the case of the school routes in DC.

Superb pictures!  So, the former N22 is now using 30 foot VanHools?  Was ridership that bad?

The former N22 has always used the 30' Van Hools since it became a Circulator route. The ridership wasn't that much there even when it was the N22 which is probably much off the reason why night/weekend service outside of Nats gamedays didn't remain with the move to Circulator.

Ah, I see.  I was just surprised because the N22 always used 40 foot Orion VIIs, rather than the 30 foot counterparts.  You learn something new everyday!

Interestingly enough, the last bus I rode on the Q2 was, in fact, 9824.
