First!

Also, surprised we're 7 days into the month with no photos yet. Guess I'll start again
Newest Xcelsior in service: 7061
Side note: This bus was signed as J4 BETHESDA STATION. I managed to change just the route number to C2.

Nice pics man. I see they finally fixed the issue with the block numbers.

The weather and commute have seriuously put a dent in my output, but seeing this was interesting enough for me to break out the camera in the gloom: Baby Orion VII on the X1 line.

Two from this afternoon

Shuttle-UM Gillig 40 footer

7042 on the C2. This is a really good spot for photos on campus.

Nice! Are the 40 foot Shuttle UM Gilligs being used for the commuter routes, or do they also see service on the local campus routes? They look great!

They're only on the commuter routes mainly the 110, 113, 129, and 130. They're also on a couple of the evening routes.

It has been way too long since I rode/fanned Shuttle UM...way before the numbering system, lol. I guess the TL-960s and the 40ft Flxes are long gone, eh?

I finally got the one with BROOKLAND MANOR. Unfortunately, it was raining and the focus was slightly thrown off.

I caught it around 11:00 yesterday. But the block read "A1 ME". Got a vid of it to.

Some of mine from yesterday. LOL these mismatched signs on the X's.

Can't believe how lucky I got with this one
