November 2009 Observation Photos

Ah, thanks for the update.  What routes used to run those buses out of Montgomery.  I always saw New Flyers on the J-buses.

Ah, thanks for the update.  What routes used to run those buses out of Montgomery.  I always saw New Flyers on the J-buses.

Montgomery's suburban seaters (or today's express LFA's) usually operated on the J7/J9, and I think some rush hour Z routes as well (Z11, Z29 I think, whatever other Z route (I don't know my Z's very well)).

I love how there's no photos on page 4...here's mine from Nov 6 and Nov 16 (in no order at all)

Is the K2 a Western or Northern route?

The K2 is Northern

the funny thing is that those 2 express LFAs were on both the K1 and K2, I really wasn't expecting that. and yes, K1 and K2 are Northern
btw the bus behind 6434 is 6428
...also, I noticed 9357 has wrap-around taillights, I forgot...was this a rarity on the Metro-Ds only or Metro-Bs as well?
and mwahahaha 666th post >=D

9357 on the E4?  Is that bus a Western bus or a Bladensburg bus?

Amazing that these routes (especially the K2) now use full sized buses.  I remember when the K2 was my source for Orion II rides!  The wrap-around taillights is a rarity on all Flxes currently running in WMATA service .  It looks great, though . I have missed the wrap around lights!

9357 is a Bladensburg bus

Question didn't someone mentioned that when the first DE62LFA came it was 5423 and if that was the case what does 5447 mean, if it was supposed to be 22 artics and if the Flyer artics was starting at 5423 that would make 5444 the last bus in the order.  Unless I remembered it wrong and it was 5433.

Nevermind answered my own question, it was 5431 that came in first which means that 5447 makes sense.

Snapped this just 15 mins ago.

[OrionFlyer]

Very nice catch.

An artic on the C8?  Would it be so hard to put the artics where they are needed or where operations intended for them to run?
