October 2009 Observations

I know right what is he talking about? anyway can anyone explain 3768 on the S2 saw it today caught me and Brandon off guard. Got pics on my phone for proof.

this is what I was afraid would happen...the S line is absolutely no place for a 3700 to snoop around, as well as the 70s line
was this during any peak hours?

[LandoverDivision]

2501, 2593, 2608, and 2729 all wrapped. 2729's wrap is all green.


3768 on the S2 (Federal Triangle)
6311 on the F1 (Cheverly Station)

6101 on the Q2 (Silver Spring Station)

IS 9310 STILL @ CET?

Proved my point. In one ear and out the other.

Can't say I'm suprised.  Sort of reminds me of the two times I rode 5168 & 5169 on the F4 during rush hour.  Also we should keep in mind that it's possible that 3768 was covering for another bus that may have broken down, had an accident etc.

[WMATAGMOAGH]

Better they send out a 30 foot bus than nothing at all.

I once saw a 3900 on the N4 during rush hour that was SRO.  Also, I think someone here once said they saw a jam loaded Orion II on the even 30s.

During rush hour.I have a better question why is Northern and West Ox getting 37LFA's? I thought Western and Bladensburg was getting them?

Maybe that was just a rumor or Western and Bburg will get them later. Either way, the 3700s are very suitable on the H8 and G2 in my opinion.

Does anyone know how many of these buses WMATA is getting? the highest I've seen so far is 3769

I believe 5234 is the one that's retired...as well as the other two numberless 5200 series artics sitting at Montgomery (I believe they are 5201 and 5216 but I'm not 100% sure)

I haven't spotted any Landover 9700's in a long time so i suggest you get your camera's,sound recorder's, and batteries and other things ready because they're on the road to heaven (or have already arrived there).

[Annex4421]
