And what is 2619 replacing, you may ask? None other than 2711 (finally!)

And now we've got more Orion VIs fleeing to West Ox. 2048 and 2050 are already there...

79MetroExtraMD · January 27, 2012, 05:23:10 PM

So 2665 is in the local scheme now.

3005 on the 32 cut to Tenleytown. What is going on at Bburg?

2325 and 2340 on the 79

2809 on the X2 (smh thrice)

C40LF_2464 · January 28, 2012, 08:46:06 AM

No 2665 Is still blue, I saw it Yesterday leaving CET, with 2570 behind it.

NewFlyer9736BCT · January 28, 2012, 09:56:19 AM

speaking of 2570, it's apparently back so soon. This is probably the fastest rehab job so far.

<vehicle id="2570" lat="38.843094" lon="-77.053627" secsSinceReport="50" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>

and wow, really metro? have a non-suburban seater in the blue paint but not any of the 2700s? well at least 2665 is keeping its uniqueness

edit - unfortunately, the really awesome screamer 2633 is now at Bladensburg

RideOn5905 · January 28, 2012, 11:15:01 AM

They got 2633? Aww, man... Hopefully, the Cummins they'll no doubt equip it with will sound good, like 2720, which has a great whine, and 2638, which is a "singer". (By the way, 2638 is my favorite ex-JD rehab in that regard.)

And I checked; 2570 has spent exactly two months at Bladensburg, so it could indeed be the fastest.

And on an unrelated note, 4262 is back at Northern.

I hope they put that blue stripe on the front at least. I also hope they spared this bus from becoming C-gassed

about 2570:
2567, 2508, 2664, 2702, 2703, 2632, 2634 were at Bladensburg for a longer time (especially 2634, which has been at Bburg for over 3.5 months) and they're still not home yet.

It does have the blue stripe, and it did get repowered.

NextBus reset again recently (dontcha hate when that happens?), so quick update on the Orion Vs:

Not online: 4200-08, 4214, 4219, 4236, 4241, 4247, 4250-51, 4278-79, 4288, 4294, 4296, 4300-04, 4309-10 (sorry George), 4312-13, 4315-16, 4319-20, 4323, 4326, 4330, 4332-37, 4339, 4341-42, 4344-46, 4348, 4351, 4353-54, 4357, 4359, 4365, 4375-76, 4380-82, 4388-89, 4394, 4396-98

At CET: 4245, 4322, 4325, 4331, 4356, 4363, 4390

This is such a sad sight to see... (at least my favorite V, 4355, is still out and about; it's on the Q4)

Elsewhere: 4246, 4248, and 4272 are at Annex. (4244 is still there as well)

DOUBLE EDIT: Wow. two buses have returned from rehab in the past couple days, and nothing has replaced them yet. I've got some suspects, though: 2622 and 2730 have somewhat long timeouts, and 2531, 2618, 2725, and 3010 are all offline. 2706 is also offline, but it's been like that for a couple months, which leads me to believe it'll resurface at Johnson Truck Center in the not-too-distant future (next Sunday A.D., lol). In the meantime, we've got 3034 at Landover.

6048 and 6104 have no data.

NewFlyer9736BCT · February 06, 2012, 05:51:49 PM

you can cross 2725 off that list, saw it on the 38B about 30 min ago

also; 2018, 2034, 2045, and 2064 also have no data (2064 was recently seen at West Ox via Nextbus but soon after that, it went to CET but I never said anything about it until now)
