Friday, 12/7/2012, about noon: University of MD Gillig #3710 (destination "Universities at Shady Grove") operating route 124 service between UM College Park and UM Shady Grove on west-bound Sam Eig Highway at Diamondback Drive in Gaithersburg.
I was a bit jetlagged yesterday, so I don't know if I saw this elsewhere and just missed it, but at Friendship Heights, they've installed light globes similar to those at surface stations on the platform pylons to make the station brighter.
Rode the Red Line again today, the new light installation is only at Friendship Heights as I remembered it. Also, I got my first ride on an Xcelsior on the 32 from Friendship Heights to Georgetown this morning. Nice enough of a bus. Very quiet. However, what is the point of the stop requested sign on the front panel if the A/C vent makes it impossible to see from the passenger area and if the Clever Device also says stop requested when needed?
