More 6500s are fleeing to Landover; so far, it's 6540-6544.

6024 - the coords show that it's at Franklin Street NE, a couple blocks north of the division
2336 - yeah I saw that too, I guess they manually shut off the GPS, or I don't know, I wonder what will become of that bus in the end

EDIT: On that note, here's the list of Orion VIIs that are being rehabbed:

2517, 2547, 2548, 2558, 2587, 2593 (Which, might I add, has been at B-burg since MAY; what's taking it so long?!), 2621, 2623, 2624, 2630, 2631, 2657, 2669, 2701, 2711, 2719, 2720, 3001 (should be back in service within a few days), 3016 (I'm sure of it), 3021, 3025, and 3027.

Super G · September 10, 2011, 10:18:10 PM

I think 6538 and 6539 are new to Landover too.

Yeah, 6535-6544 have all moved to Landover from Montgomery.

In other news, 7065 is now online, I think it's the highest-numbered Xcelsior so far.

(I'm putting this in a separate post, so as to avoid having to triple edit.)

6198 on the Z11 and 6199 on the K6! I think Annex is indeed giving some D40LFRs back to Montgomery! For the time being, at least.

I know 6199s coordinates aren't where the K6 goes, but I'm just happy they're back.

2517's GPS timeout is over 7 million seconds now, so it may be back at FMR already, but with a broken GPS, much like what happened with 2672 when it got out. Then again, the same thing was said about 2593, and it's STILL at Bladensburg, so... I don't know.

RideOn5905 · September 14, 2011, 10:14:36 AM

2593 at the DC DMV. In a few days, it should finally be back at Four Mile Run.

NewFlyer9736BCT · September 14, 2011, 02:31:11 PM

heh, 7061 was at Montgomery not too long ago, that's a fast change
2724's GPS was timed out around 4 million seconds before finally updating (I think it was shown at Dulles Airport), I somehow had a feeling it would end up at Bburg

anyways, 2707 is back at Bladensburg, if it was red, then I hope it's back to be painted blue, who knows
