from yesterday:
9388 at Federal Triangle with a P block (34 layover most likely)
9346 on the V9 near Bureau of Engraving (the rear destination signs were working as well! (not orange crushed btw))
5443 and 5444 on the Y line
2142 deadheading northbound on Georgia Ave near Wheaton Station
2302 and 2435 are still not rehabbed
6369 on the T2 (first time seeing that bus)
9362 on the 36 to Naylor Rd (possible PM Bladensburg run)
4207 on the 32 (PM Bladensburg run)
4290 and 4299 remain at Northern
6400, 6403, 6405, and 6406 were seen on West Ox routes
4369 on the W13 (Royal run)
question: are 4318-4321, 4335, and 4336 still at Montgomery? I know 4322-4334 still are.
4318 is Royal saw it on the W13 today
6155 is Annex was on the M6 today
2411 on th 97
2434 on the U2
2317 on the P2
2325 on the V5
2630 on the D6
6439 on the 39
6140 on the A6
6150 on the A4
4296 without a Bike Rack was laying over after finishing the A2
4294 on the A8 with broken signs
2801 of course on the 79 and the Titan sign is still working (I'll put money down it messes up again lol)
PS why do I get the feeling the D40LFRs will be split between Landover and Annex but I won't bank on it
Dunno if anyone else has mentioned this but I've been seeing some Fairfax 9600s running around in the Centreville/Chantilly area lately.

I found out for myself that 4321 is still at Montgomery, seen on the Q6. I'm curious to know where 4319 is as well. I also want to know if 4333-4336 is still Montgomery, I haven't seen those in a while (maybe 4334 but I don't remember quite well).
and as for where 4319 is, I don't think it's that extremely urgent that we need to find it Christopher! though it would be nice to know where it is.

EVERY 23A bus I saw today had a PikeRide bus. There was 2638, 2639, 2644, 2651, 2656, 2659, and probably more. I also saw one on the 23C but I didn't see the number. not that I'm complaining...the 23 line is pretty long and it's convenient to have faster accelerating buses on that line.
I rode 2551 on the 3A today, the engine has a John Deere-ish feel if you ask me, it had a good bass and it kinda accelerated faster than any other 2500.

That a safe assumption. 6214 is now painted in the express color scheme.
Add 6213 to that list at well. So now that's 6212-6214, 6216 and 6217 that are airport buses now. So my question now is, whats going to happen to 4390-4395?

I saw a 439X on the F4 yesterday while I was working out but couldn't make out the number. I think they'll swap buses in and out as time permits on that line.
Wacky idea: Give 4390-4395 to FMR for the 5A (mainly for capacity to help out with the 2700's), Bladensburg gives a few 436's that would've been retired to Landover, FMR gives Bladensburg some more 2600's. Fair deal?

So my question now is, whats going to happen to 4390-4395?
I saw a 439X on the F4 yesterday while I was working out but couldn't make out the number. I think they'll swap buses in and out as time permits on that line.
Wacky idea: Give 4390-4395 to FMR for the 5A (mainly for capacity to help out with the 2700's), Bladensburg gives a few 436's that would've been retired to Landover, FMR gives Bladensburg some more 2600's. Fair deal?
FMR already has plenty of suburbans, I doubt it needs anymore, especially if they will lack some seats due to the luggage racks. What I had in mind was remove the luggage racks on 4390-4395 and make them regular suburbans, and those would move to Annex or Royal for those Oxon Hill/Ft Washington, etc. routes. Either that or put regular seating for use on any other route, but the latter seems unlikely. we'll have to see what happens.
about the 5200s moving to Landover...I mean, I know that Bladensburg is in overload of artics which are only used on the X2, U8, and R line, but where could they go? Landover...let's see...we all know they have crowded routes and such, but that's what increased frequency during rush hour is for. If that doesn't seem that it will help, then those slow 5200s will most likely NOT make it any better, so I'd say stick with the 40 footers, unless Landover could get something faster like the DE62LFAs.
Now I have a question of my own: will Bladensburg ever give FMR any C40LFs? that would be an interesting find to see one in Arlington County or around there.

I wonder what they're doing there. Seeing as they have mileage from all that highway driving on the B30, I wouldn't be surprised if they retired before the other 4300s, but THIS early I wasn't expecting... Then again, they might just be there for the non-B30 initiation/switching of divisions.
Highway mileage is better than city miles. That's why Connector's RTSes have held on for so long. They *could* be there for some sort of work to the tune of what we're talking about -- decomming as Airport buses and recomming them as either regular suburbans or regular transits; if any such work were to be done, CET would be the place to do it.

Ah. I've always suggested those buses should be at Landover (at least half of them). They would work best for the B30 than with the J7/J9. Lately, most of the blocks on the B30 have had 6200 high backs.

I don't know how long it's been in service, but I saw it in Silver Spring on the F4 about 3-4 weeks ago.
What is 6301??
Probably the demo unit of the DE40LFRs.

March 25, 2010: MetroBus #2226 at Minnesota & Pennsylvania Avenues SE in an interesting ENJOY GERMANY wrap. The traffic in that area caused by continued road construction would encourage anybody to travel anywhere other than Washington DC.
I saw that bus on Saturday at Archives and got a few pics of it.
Loudoun County Transit seems to have some new buses. They look like the ones Dillions runs. Keep your eyes open

Hmm...I thought the 25 was the only route that had this requirement. Are they going to keep the requirement in effect when the Baby Gilligs take over?
Is the 5 still operated by Nicholson in the evenings with cutaways?

I think they'll find some way to either bargain with the neighborhood or do some bizarre order. GE30LFR's anyone?

I think it was a noise abatement agreement...but considering that the baby Gilligs are quieter than even some cars, maybe there won't be an issue if they just take the neighborhood association out for a ride.
4390 is no longer a B30 bus and it does not have an airport rack in it which means this might be the same for the other Orion Vs that were B30 buses.

A matter of time before this happened. Those buses have been running on that line for 9 years.

IS 9310 STILL @ CET?
A few observations from THE BUS. First off there seems to be two '96 Gilligs that are still alive. 62899 was seen today, enroute from the garage about to turn onto Ritchie Road. 62898 may still be alive that was the other one seen after all of the first batch of Advantages were delievered.
Second:
63195 on the 23, oddly enough passing by my house. Something must have happened on Nalley route, because I think the F14 was doing the same. As for the Gilligs 35', basically the exact same as the '08 Gilligs, except for front and rear doors are squared.
63194 on the 28
63193 on the 26
Passed the Carmen E Turner and saw 7 more DE42LFAs that were just recently delievered, all in the "Local" scheme. The DE37LFA and the DE62LFA that were there, apparently aren't there anymore, I didn't see them.
Last but not least:
-Passed by THE BUS's garage and saw a few things. Saw a bunch of HDXs and in another lot saw two reject Orion Vs and one 40' TL960s that looked like they might be retired and if those Orions retire, I don't think they'll go somewhere else, those suckers maybe seeing the scrap heep, they are around 12-13 years old.
Saw a few interesting things though. In that same lot I saw those could-be retired buses saw a few baby Gilligs and one other interesting sighting. Saw a CNG El Dorado in all white sitting there, for testing, don't know. I said earlier that they did have a few CNG CAGVs, so seeing a CNG bus there isn't unusual. I am pretty sure if they do, they would have to upgrade their CNG feuling facilities.
