2683 and 2710 going for a test drive down Annapolis Road. I followed these two from U.S. 50 to Veterans Pkwy to Annapolis, where they've been ever since.

The culprit? "2436" is actually 2136, and "11" is actually 2145.
(I thought it was too good to be true, but just in case it actually was true, I waited at West Falls Church for 2436, getting ready for a shot of what would have been such a rarity)


Take a look at Nextbus, 2136 shows no data, and neither does 2145.

Also, 2565 is still around, saw it on the 4 line at Rosslyn today



Here's the so called "2436" and "11":






and one more thing: 6181 shows no data

3036 is online, I guess this is the time to enjoy the last few rides of the 3900s while we can

3017 has no data. It would appear that my guess about it starting rehab is correct...

Nothing new has appeared from FMR, so it looks like its replacement is 3006.

In light of the Orion VI recalls due to the fires of 2028 and 2011, various buses are being run as replacements. Most of them are 42/4300s, but here are a few runs that you certainly don't see every day:

2814 and 2343 on the C2:

Aw man, I knew I should have gone out yesterday.

Anyways, here's what's for today:

4210 on the F4, 4321 on the F6, 4314 on the 2C, 4260 on the 2B (I think this bus was still around anyways, but on Royal routes), 4256 on the 1B, 2193 on the 17B, 4211 and 4366 on the A12, and the rest you can see below

and so on...


even though this may be temporary, it does my heart good to see some of these offline/semi-retired Orion Vs to come back to service, I hope this goes on at least until tomorrow so I can snap some shots
