2504 at Bladensburg for some reason

Yeah, it's been there for at least two weeks now, along with 2517. In regards to that future rehab list you mentioned, I've always felt that the last two would be 2537 and 2648. (just watch, now that I've said this, they'll be the next ones at Bladensburg)

In other news, 7063 is at... Montgomery? Okay then...

looks like 3924 is back at Western (I do remember way back in the day seeing this bus on a Western route, not sure how long it's been away from Western but now it's back)

6151 is back at Annex. Maybe it's rehabbed, and maybe not.

2547 is back at FMR...

2669 is back at FMR as well.

And its replacement at B-burg is 2508.

EDIT: Two rehabs returning in one day? I haven't seen that happen since 2593 and 2517 returned to Four Mile Run together a couple months back (btw, the latter is back at Bladensburg).

At any rate, the returning bus is 3025 (maybe this is the missing 1533).

damn man you beat me to all that, i was just gonna post 3025 returning to FMR. I checked literally a couple of hours ago and it was still at Bladensburg. yeah I also have the feeling that 3025 is 1533, but you never know

also, it seems like all the buses serve routes right before going to rehab. on the routeTag for the new rehabs, they always seem to show route numbers (example: 16A on 2702, 9S on 2508, 23C on 2567, and back when it first went to rehab, 2501 had 15K (or 17K, one of those))

5422 is on the 87 right now. That's like a once in a lifetime photo op

Hmm. Really odd one there. Must be some Landover/Bburg swap since a couple of the tics are on the B30 and probably some buses had went to the X2 to cover those tic runs.

7115 and 7116 online

I saw that bus on the B2 about an hour ago. Block BB24. It was only going to Bladensburg and V St.

4340 is back online and at Montgomery, looks like it's not retired yet (hopefully)

5404 is also at Landover; most likely for the extra B30 service.

6331 is still at Bladensburg.

Is it possible that Landover and Bladensburg swapped buses? Two buses at Landover from Bladensburg (5418 and 5422), and two buses from Landover at Bladensburg (6331 and another one yet to be seen)? Just for the Thanksgiving holiday.
