Do you know what happened to those white Xcelisors reported a while back?

[RideOn5905]

The white Xcelsiors... To tell you the truth, I really don't know. At any rate, 6184 is back from rehab.

6199 is back online (after apparently being back from rehab since a couple of weeks ago)

<NextBusPrediction><DirectionNum>0</DirectionNum><DirectionText>North to Rockville Station</DirectionText><Minutes>3</Minutes><RouteID>Q4</RouteID><VehicleID>6199</VehicleID></NextBusPrediction>


And 6115 is back from........wherever it's been (again). Rehabbed? Possibly

....and I can't seem to find it again. I found it earlier on my phone, supposedly on the U5/U6

[RideOn5905]

...and the site is finally back up. On that note, 6112, 6119, and 6213 have all returned.

And 6112 isn't online right now, of course, but I did see it earlier, on... the U2, iirc.

[NewFlyer9736BCT]

I wonder if they fixed that GPS on 6112. I hope they did, because I hate having to look for something without being able to track it.
Also not online yet, 6147, however it is back on the road rehabbed.

Also, 6408's GPS has been corrected, no longer showing up as 6048


Update: 6112 is showing up after all

Update 2: 2392 is back in service after that accident on N. Capitol and Rhode Island Ave (that was fast)

6033 is also back online. I don't think it's rehabbed, but I'd still keep my eyes peeled for it.

Speaking of hybrids, 6016 has been gone for WAY too long now (7-8 months, I think). I'm starting to think it might actually be at Johnson Truck Center in Landover, or wherever, getting some repair work done.

Also, as you know, the bus position data for NextBus has only been showing data for: the new Xcelsiors (7265-69), the new cutaways used for the S80, buses returning from rehab, and a few of the Orion Vs. But today, I spotted this:

<BusPosition><DateTime>2013-11-01T17:16:35</DateTime><Deviation>-5.90</Deviation><DirectionNum>1</DirectionNum><DirectionText>WEST</DirectionText><Lat>38.900154</Lat><Lon>-77.035988</Lon><RouteID>X2</RouteID><TripEndTime>2013-11-01T17:11:00</TripEndTime><TripHeadsign>LAFAYETTE SQUARE</TripHeadsign><TripID>7894_11</TripID><TripStartTime>2013-11-01T16:35:00</TripStartTime><VehicleID>5415</VehicleID></BusPosition>

Make of it what you will.

6013 is back at Landover. Rehabbed? Maybe.

Just saw it on the T18 now. Still not rehabbed.
I guess it's just not their time yet, maybe they have a longer life span

Also, 6115 is back from rehab

[NewFlyer9736BCT]

6168 has returned

[RideOn5905]

And so has 6181.

[NewFlyer9736BCT]

And of course, let's not forget 6196


EDIT: In case you haven't had enough, 6124 is also back
EDIT 2: Maybe I spoke too soon, since 6124 is not showing up on the C12/14 anymore (it showed up several times earlier on stop 3000700)
