More FFX Connector 2011 Xcelsior buses. The fleet numbering begins with 77xx for this new set of deliveries. Connector must use Fairfax County's fleet numbering.

So far noticeable: different tail lights, the side destination sign is a larger TwinVision varient (moved to the second window near the front door due to size) with white LEDs, and three position bike rack. These also have the window like hatches in the roof to let the sunlight in.

5829 is one of the Ride On buses wrapped with the Wells Fargo ad, 5323 is another one, I don't have a photo of that one though.
I wish I got a rear shot of this, it looked interesting, but oh well.

This bus, which apparently does not have a rehab number shown on the bus exterior or interior, here at Greenbelt on the G12

and the rest

They're coming back! (also saw 2200 on the Q4 and 2199 at Wheaton Station, no pics of those though)

Saturday Supplemental schedule. It only ran directional rush-hour service. The S9 ran as well, full service ironically.
