Last night I saw 6423 on the Q1, still painted red
A couple of weeks ago I saw 6412 sitting at Bladensburg, also in red
Lowest blue bus I saw is 6413 and the highest is 6421, not sure if there may be any gaps (for example, if 6410-11 were blue, and 6412 still red)

Perhaps 6412 was at Bladensburg to be repainted blue?

I saw 5804 out and about today, with a new sign! It looks like the same kind they used on the 01-02 Orion Vs. And I must say, it looks damn good with that. I'm not sure if they'll do the same with the others, since these buses are near the end of their rope... :(

5316 has been repainted to the local scheme. I don't think it was rehabbed because there was no rehab number present, plus the interior did not seem rehabbed

This morning I saw Ride On 5300 on I-370 from what seems to be coming from Shady Grove Station. The sign said ROAD TEST
