Not that I have any but note the shorter title so in the email it does not get confused with the observations thread.

Am I seeing orange destination signs on 6455?

Also, 4330 (Montgomery) & 4386 (Landover) have white-over-red ads mirroring that of 2106.

No, its the same multicolored signs as the other express ones. They just appear amber from the programming.

Two sets of photos. Part 1 is this...taken on January 26, 2010 and I forgot to upload these photos until now:
on that day, the Shady Grove and Rockville stations were closed, so shuttle buses were all over those stations providing transport to the nearest open station (Twinbrook in that case). here is 5320 seen at Rockville as a shuttle bus:

and the rest... (remember, this was over a month ago, so 5443 was still a Northern bus)

PART 2: these were taken much more recently (last Tuesday (March 9) to be exact)
I found the straight-back Metro-B...unfortunately I didn't get a rear shot. (this is 9305, not 9306, in case you can't really see the number)


and the rest...












This one is 5448 in case you can't see the number


2815-2817 still displaying the route as "7" rather than "79". this one however had the destination set to "Bladensburg and V NE"


2801 still having the route number problem as well...

Isn't there a way to replace the more-broken-than-not Titan sign on 2801 and isn't there a way to finally allow 2815/2817's signs to actually display the full route number?

Is there any reasoning behind the colors ART chooses for its bus's signs?  Also, I wish the LFRs were being repainted in the same style as the C40LFRs, with the black underneath the windshield, etc.

[79MetroExtraMD]

It's the way the pixels on the sign are refreshing that makes it look like different colors. It's more noticable on Twinvision signs than Luminator. So sometimes the exposure will come out deep red, deep green, or amber.

Nice shots Wayne...a question: where were the pics of 2624 and 9318 taken? I'm assuming it's the H Street bridge over the tracks at Union Station but I could be wrong.
