6140-6178: Landover
6179-62nn: Montgomery

I don't live in the DC area, but even I know that's very inaccurate.

Don't worry about it I have the Annex D40LFR fleet as my signature. I dont even know why we even bother worrying

[NewFlyer9736BCT]

The shuttle buses that ran between Shady Grove, Rockville, and Twinbrook stations came from divisions such as Montgomery, Landover, Western, Northern, and Bladensburg (maybe more but that's all I got to see)

here's a list of what I saw yesterday doing shuttle runs:

2182
2189
2177
4330
4201
4205
6454
6422
2173
2012
2 unknown 23/2400s (rehabbed in new paint), bypassed Rockville
2106
5437
5320
6365
4070 (MSxx block, must have been a Montgomery S line trip in the morning)
2179
2097
2151
2035
either 6446 or 6448 (bypassed Rockville)
4101
6370

[WMATAGMOAGH]

I wouldn't draw too much from the blocks on the shuttle buses.  My guess is since these weren't official runs, the buses generally headed out with whatever the last block was on the rolls.

5222 on the X2
2358 on the V5

This seemed to have happened recently but 9496 and 9488 have both been crushed, orange crushed that is.  I think 9323 had been orange crushed also.

[NewFlyer9736BCT]

since when does Nicholson operate the 47 on sundays? I saw 5031 and another baby Gillig (it had to be 5001-5006 since it was in the old colors) on the 47 today...

[LandoverDivision]

9389 has been crushed for a minute. Well anyways here's the Landover Flx B fleet:

9302, 9304, 9306, 9308, 9309, 9312, 9314, 9316, 9323, 9324, 9328, 9332, 9333, 9337, 9340-9345, 9350, 9353, 9361, 9364, 9366, 9374, 9378, 9382, 9385, 9389, 9395, 9396, 9400, 9402, 9481, 9486, 9487, 9488, 9496

[WES]

 It is 9349 sitting in Landover about to be retired, saw 9305 on the X2 on Friday.  Makes sense 9349 almost ran like a nopower, in that it didn't have any power.

[Annex4421]

9349 ran well I remember catching it a few times while it was here in Annex territory, oh well I guess the rest of the B's that left here will be retired as well
