So that means the R3 will be the only Bladensburg route that doesn't operate in the city.

3031 is on the 18R (AP89)

<predictions agencyTitle="WMATA Washington" routeTitle="18R BURKE CENTRE" routeTag="18R" stopTitle="Franconia-Sprgfld Sta + Bus Bay D" stopTag="256"><direction title="West to Burke Centre"><prediction epochTime="1337034480000" seconds="437" minutes="7" isDeparture="true" affectedByLayover="true" dirTag="18R_18R_0" vehicle="3031" block="AP89" tripTag="4208772"/>
how do you get it to say the block number

Copy this link

http://wmata.nextbus.com/s/COM.NextBus.Servlets.XMLFeed?command=predictions&a=wmata&stopId=

And enter a stop id after the = . And it'll give you the route, coach # and block

Also, can somebody explain this for me?

Just checked out the New Flyer XN60 on display at WMATA HQ. It is one of first articulated and CNG Xcelsiors built.

Hey how long is it going to be there?

6331 is still at Bladensburg.

Is it possible that Landover and Bladensburg swapped buses? Two buses at Landover from Bladensburg (5418 and 5422), and two buses from Landover at Bladensburg (6331 and another one yet to be seen)?  Just for the Thanksgiving holiday.

I saw that bus on the B2 about an hour ago. Block BB24. It was only going to Bladensburg and V St.

So they're going to be BRT style after all, huh? I honestly didn't think they would go with that option.
