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?

It might interline into a Z8. I know an operator who has a Z8 on their second part and that line gets pretty packed.

That deadhead between College Park and Briggs Cheney seems like quite a bit of a hike (Google has it at 9.3 miles). Then again, the deadheads those buses have getting to/from Montgomery is quite a bit to begin with.

You ever thought about Montgomery to Silver Spring as a deadhead since most of the C8 trips terminate at Montgomery.

5431,5448,5447 & 5443 at CET. Id expect more in service next week then by Dec all of em will be on the streets. One thing is the i wonder is that why they didn't come into service all at the same time like the 5400 NABI's.

I think with all the extras added in the Flyers while the NABIs were "off the shelf", it was easier to the earlier 5400s to be delivered

Different build and delivery schedules.

To and from Ft. Totten (K6) is a perfect example of that, same thing for Farragut Square (N Line).

Most of the time, the trips will start from White Oak and Friendship Heights to minimize deadhead times. I think in the evening, they'll deadhead to Potomac Park for the L1.

I take back what I said about Ft Totten and Farragut Sq. I just checked the C2's schedule, it beats all of them. The first C2 leaves Greenbelt Center at 5:32 then the next one leaves at 5:47.  The C2 has the longest deadhead time from Montgomery.

According to Google Maps, from Marinelli rd & Citadel ave (Montgomery Division) to Crescent rd  & Gardenway (Roosevelt Center), still don't know why the signs still read Greenbelt Center, it's 16 miles.

There's worse. Try Montgomery to South Laurel.

damn...I just checked and that's about 22 miles

could that be the longest deadhead from Montgomery? Is there anything longer than the deadhead from Landover to BWI?

Try the Ls and the Ns from MoDi to Downtown DC.
