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...

Yesterday saw a WMATA New Flyer XDE40 #7190 at WMATA HQ around lunch time signed "Charter".

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
