December 2009 Observations

[Annex4421]

 6005 and 6169 also have the Stop Requested in the LED, and 2622 has the LED Stop Requested sign like on the LFA's. In a way its understandable because some stop requested signs doesn't work most of the time, so I wouldn't be surprised if an Orion V gets it.

[Annex4421]

One more thing there was not 1 artic on the 70 today we were at silver spring for 2 hours and not 1 neo or 62LFA showed up, does anybody know why?

No but Metro said it was running shorter trains this week on account of the upcoming iholidays, OPM and school closures and lighter than usual volume.  Maybe it carried over to bus assignments.

5441 and 5446 were on the B30 today. LX02 and LX01. I guess LX Blocks are specials for Landover.

I'm pretty sure they needed them. The MARC train was packed with travelers heading out for the Christmas holiday. Northern probably loaned them for the B30 as strategics. The 5A stop at Rosslyn was crowded too. I saw a couple of strategics at Rosslyn 2710 and 2711.

Oh, it needed them all right. The line went from the B30 stop to the entrance to the Metro Station. First the Orion V came then the artic. That's what I waited for.

Well, here are the current assignments after polling them from Nextbus according to position information
6307-6335 Landover
6336-6345 Northern
6346-6363 Western
6364-6394 Montgomery
6395 West Ox
6396, 6398, 6405, 6408 Western
6397, 6399, 6400-6404, 6406, 6407, 6409 West Ox
6410-6423 Landover
6424-6437 Northern
6438-6453 Western
6454-6461 Montgomery

[ChristopherF]

6396, 6398, 6405 & 6408 will most likely go to West Ox (formerly Arlington).
6301-6306 will most likely go to Landover.
At last checked, 6364 was a Western bus.

6395-6409 at West Ox should make more horse sense, but we'll see how the upcoming set of shifts go as this decade winds down.
