#2509 remains at FMR.

NewFlyer9736BCT · May 06, 2013, 09:55:34 AM

2579 is back. What it was doing on the S2 is beyond my knowledge (it's heading back to FMR according to the coords)

Four Mile has 3 blocks (F250-252) on the S2 in the morning. All trips are from 16th & Harvard Sts NW to 14th & I St NW.

2537 has also returned to FMR.

Chargerdodge9 · May 06, 2013, 04:11:18 PM

Wasn't that bus back for a while now?

NewFlyer9736BCT · May 06, 2013, 06:40:57 PM

@Chargerdodge: nope, that's one of the last few to go in to rehab

2520 is back as well. Looks like 2519 and 2520 are the cutoffs between Bburg and FMR

<BusPosition><DateTime>2013-05-06T17:23:12</DateTime><Deviation>3.80</Deviation><DirectionNum>0</DirectionNum><DirectionText>WEST</DirectionText><Lat>38.856266</Lat><Lon>-77.112602</Lon><RouteID>16G</RouteID><TripEndTime>2013-05-06T17:27:00</TripEndTime><TripHeadsign>COLUMBIA HEIGHTS WEST</TripHeadsign><TripID>10189_31</TripID><TripStartTime>2013-05-06T16:54:00</TripStartTime><VehicleID>2520</VehicleID></BusPosition>

In other news: 2509, 2511, and 2512 have moved to Bburg

<BusPosition><DateTime>2013-05-06T17:34:55</DateTime><Deviation>2.65</Deviation><DirectionNum>1</DirectionNum><DirectionText>EAST</DirectionText><Lat>38.902439</Lat><Lon>-77.0299</Lon><RouteID>D4</RouteID><TripEndTime>2013-05-06T18:04:00</TripEndTime><TripHeadsign>IVY CITY</TripHeadsign><TripID>6357_31</TripID><TripStartTime>2013-05-06T17:36:00</TripStartTime><VehicleID>2509</VehicleID></BusPosition>

<BusPosition><DateTime>2013-05-06T17:32:18</DateTime><Deviation>-1.87</Deviation><DirectionNum>0</DirectionNum><DirectionText>NORTH</DirectionText><Lat>38.919788</Lat><Lon>-76.995461</Lon><RouteID>83</RouteID><TripEndTime>2013-05-06T18:34:00</TripEndTime><TripHeadsign>CHERRY HILL</TripHeadsign><TripID>5074_31</TripID><TripStartTime>2013-05-06T17:30:00</TripStartTime><VehicleID>2512</VehicleID></BusPosition>

So because the highest 2500 for Bburg goes up to 2519, we should eventually expect 2513, 2516, 2517, and 2518 to move as well.

One more thing, 6156 can be taken off the possible rehab list

<BusPosition><DateTime>2013-05-06T17:32:53</DateTime><Deviation>-2.00</Deviation><DirectionNum>1</DirectionNum><DirectionText>WEST</DirectionText><Lat>38.843807</Lat><Lon>-76.92952</Lon><RouteID>D14c</RouteID><TripEndTime>2013-05-06T17:53:00</TripEndTime><TripHeadsign>CAMP SPRINGS</TripHeadsign><TripID>16183_31</TripID><TripStartTime>2013-05-06T17:30:00</TripStartTime><VehicleID>6156</VehicleID></BusPosition>

Chargerdodge9 · May 06, 2013, 08:49:43 PM

Well, I saw both #2513 and #2518 earlier, so you could be right.

NewFlyer9736BCT · May 09, 2013, 05:16:48 PM

2604 on the 5A, I hope there's not too many people on board

<BusPosition><DateTime>2013-05-09T16:58:07</DateTime><Deviation>0.47</Deviation><DirectionNum>1</DirectionNum><DirectionText>WEST</DirectionText><Lat>38.962772</Lat><Lon>-77.430122</Lon><RouteID>5A</RouteID><TripEndTime>2013-05-09T17:03:00</TripEndTime><TripHeadsign>DULLES AIRPORT</TripHeadsign><TripID>10430_31</TripID><TripStartTime>2013-05-09T16:00:00</TripStartTime><VehicleID>2604</VehicleID></BusPosition>

Also, according to the API, 4298, 4299, 4305, 4358, 4360, 4361, 4362, 4378, and 4387 have moved to Annex
I'm guessing they're gonna try to get some Annex 6100s in rehab as fast as possible

That reminds me, how many 1997s are left anyway? About 60? Since NOVA no longer has them, there are only so many places they could go.

NewFlyer9736BCT · May 13, 2013, 11:11:48 AM

I don't know if anyone's noticed, but the are two kinds of buses that are not showing up online; the C40LFs and Annex's D40LFRs (the ones at Landover and Montgomery are perfectly functional). Fortunately, I have another way to keep track of them. While searching, I found 6142 back online, along with 6157.

<NextBusPrediction><DirectionNum>0</DirectionNum><DirectionText>East to Suitland Station</DirectionText><Minutes>42</Minutes><RouteID>D14</RouteID><VehicleID>6157</VehicleID></NextBusPrediction>

I couldn't find 6142 again (it was on the U2), but trust me, it was there.

NewFlyer9736BCT · May 15, 2013, 10:02:57 PM

What nextbus program/website is that? Speaking of which, on my phone I saw that 6141 was in service on the U's as well.

Chargerdodge9 · May 15, 2013, 10:20:07 PM

What depots have the D40LFRs?

NewFlyer9736BCT · May 16, 2013, 09:26:19 AM

6392 has returned to Montgomery
