6301 is in service. Saw it this morning on the B25.

I don't know how long it's been in service, but I saw it in Silver Spring on the F4 about 3-4 weeks ago.

[aznboy4305]

What is 6301??

[Tristan]

Probably the demo unit of the DE40LFRs.

[C40LF_2464]

Probably the demo unit of the DE40LFRs.

The new DE42LFA Hybrids.

 March 25, 2010: MetroBus #2226 at Minnesota & Pennsylvania Avenues SE in an interesting ENJOY GERMANY wrap.  The traffic in that area caused by continued road construction would encourage anybody to travel anywhere other than Washington DC. 

[79MetroExtraMD]

I saw that bus on Saturday at Archives and got a few pics of it.

[Antozilla]

Loudoun County Transit seems to have some new buses. They look like the ones Dillions runs.  Keep your eyes open

[Scrabbleship]

2317 (rehabbed) on the 79
₉₅5380 at Silver Spring with 24 on the rear route sign
₀₂5602 on the 38 signed "24 - Takoma"

(Isn't the real 24 one of the routes that has to use the gas cutaways? If so, fun joke by Ride On's drivers!)

[Tritransit Area]

Hmm...I thought the 25 was the only route that had this requirement.  Are they going to keep the requirement in effect when the Baby Gilligs take over?

Is the 5 still operated by Nicholson in the evenings with cutaways?

I think they'll find some way to either bargain with the neighborhood or do some bizarre order. GE30LFR's anyone?

Is the 5 still operated by Nicholson in the evenings with cutaways?

Those runs are now all Baby Gillig from what I've noticed.

The 24 has come out of Silver Spring for as long as I can remember...

THAT'S WHAT I MEANT!! MULLIGAN! MULLIGAN!
