Today:
63163 broken down while doing the 28 at The Blvd
3906 and 3014 taking a break while doing driver training at Kettering Shopping Center.
Rode 3041 today on the M2 look like Southern Ave got the first batches a link to the video i made http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD5EsT7PZkY
The Orange Line was shut between East Falls Church and West Falls Church stations. I saw Annex buses working the Orange Line shuttle service between East Falls Church and West Falls Church. Some Annex buses with FMR buses. Why the use of Annex buses? FMR did this in the past without assistance from another division.
Fairfax Connector had 505 and 950 buses serving East Falls Church instead of West Falls Church too.
Saw WMATA Neoplan #5320 on the 70 to Archives looking mighty fresh from rehab!!
2668 is painted in the metroextra scheme!!
5900 on the 61. I thought 5900 was a training bus?
7126 on the Q6
6155 on the Z11
Ride On's 5812 on the 48, but the Ride On logo on the right side (where the ads go now) has been spray painted gray, this might be a sign of things to come (or in this case go) :(
Also 2603 is rehabbed and painted in the MetroExtra livery
6193 on the J9.
We all know that the Orion VIs are going to be retired, but some look like they could be heading to the scrap yard before one replacement Xcelesior comes in as two are in the back of Landover with their fleet numbers removed.
On a funnier note there is a bus stop at the corner of Nalley Road and Hill Oaks Road, right near FedEx Field that has F14, J11 and J12...............the F14 is the only one that serves that stop, the J11 and J12 don't even come within 10 miles of the stop.

Ha, reminds me of when I saw a sign with C4 and Q1-6 on Veirs Mill and Dodge St (first stop south of Rockville Station). The one you saw with the F14 and J11/12, was that a brand new sign?
Also, I mentioned this in Nextbus Obs, but yesterday I saw 3950 at Medical Center Station with "Special" on the signs
Could 3950 have been an elevator shuttle?

So far this morning: I saw a new Orion VII on the D2 but was unable to see the fleet #. also I saw (literally about 3 min ago) 2200 on the 10A.
At Braddock Rd Sta, 2186 was on the 10B northbound, the bus was leaning so much to the left that it looked like it could tip over on a fast right turn. It looks like because of that, the bus just idled at the station until the northbound 10A came (this one was 2187 btw, a recent Blade to Royal transfer if im not mistaking) and everyone from 2186 moved to 2187
One more thing: I just saw 7092 here in old town Alexandria (King and Fairfax Sts)
3071 was seen leaving from New Carrollton on an unknown route, because the bus's signs were non opeational.
