While not necessarily noteworthy, something caught my attention today:

I was on 5928, heading home on the 61, and when the announcer said, "Germantown Road and Crystal Rock Drive," I looked up... and noticed that "Crystal" was spelled C-R-Y-S-Y-A-L. I'll just go ahead and let that speak for itself.

yeah there's still plenty of typos out there in both WMATA and Ride On stop announcements. I can't think of any off the top of my head.

The annunciator on the T2 doesn't pronounce the name of my street correctly...

2198 X6

umm...X6?

I meant X8 lol

[RideOn5905]

I was spending the day with a friend of mine; we were heading to an auto show off of Baltimore Road in Rockville, and on the way there, I saw 5340 on the T2. Then, on the way back to his house, I saw 5021 on the 26. I swear I'm not mixing them up. It was weird.

yeah the 26 and 47 have recently been operated by Nicholson on the weekends. As for the T2, it's probably gone back to Silver Spring, or a strategic run.

3938 on the H8 last Saturday night. Did Northern get some Baby Orion V's back, or was Annex doing a run? I know Annex does a couple rush hour trips, but on a Saturday night?
