3924 at Western? This bus just can't seem to sit still, can it?

looks like I was right then, 2621 was going home to FMR, now it's there

<vehicle id="2621" routeTag="null" dirTag="null" lat="38.843201" lon="-77.054298" secsSinceReport="14047" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>

now with 2638 and 2639 in rehab, the lowest Pike Ride bus will be 2640 (saw this one in service earlier today)

3016 back in service, i assume it's rehabbed because of how long it's been out of service

<vehicle id="3016" routeTag="D4" dirTag="D4_D4_1" lat="38.901363" lon="-77.030113" secsSinceReport="351" predictable="true" heading="270" speedKmHr="0.0"/>

EDIT - and 2503 is back at FMR

NewFlyer9736BCT · November 11, 2011, 07:56:21 PM

judging by the seconds count, 3012 might be in the process of rehab

<vehicle id="3012" routeTag="null" dirTag="null" lat="38.923061" lon="-76.969109" secsSinceReport="382271" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>

6137's GPS finally updated; it's at Bladensburg.

</body>

Speaking of which, 6012 is still there after almost two months, and 6151 is also still there, with a timeout of over 3 million seconds. And now, 6013 is there as well.

Could the diesels and hybrids possibly be starting rehab?

RideOn5905 · November 12, 2011, 12:25:34 PM

2566 on the 5A.

<body copyright="All data copyright WMATA Washington 2011.">

</body>

I didn't report it, but yesterday, I saw 2530, with no route designation, at Herndon-Monroe, then at Dulles a few moments later. Without those luggage racks, this is just asking for trouble.

EDIT: And a REX bus on a non-REX route?

6190 BACK at Annex? I don't like where this is going

If it's any consolation, I don't think it was at Montgomery for very long. In fact, I don't think it had operated any routes before it went back to Annex. And on a related note, 6158 is also at Bladensburg.

</body>

Is it just me or does it seem like they've been rehabbing a lot of 26-2700s recently? Guess they want to get the repowers over with ASAP...

Good news, everyone! 6190 is back at Montgomery! Again!

those 6180s and 6190 moving to Montgomery put a smile on my face. apparently, Nextbus did that GPS reset thing again and plenty of buses such as 2587, 2665, 2462, 3025, etc are not showing any data. I hate when that happens to be honest. Speaking of 3025, that went to Bladensburg before 3027, and at some point ended up in some remote place near Chantilly, then back at Bladensburg, I'm guessing that one is rehab 1533, guess we'll find out someday.

Also, I made a list predicting what the future rehab numbers will be for the currently unrehabbed (and in-progess rehab) buses, 2632 was the very last one in my list, looks like I got that wrong (2501 was way up there too)

2504 at Bladensburg for some reason
