October 2011 Observations

[NewFlyer9736BCT]

While riding the J5 to silver spring spotted 2 5300 series(rehabbed) sitting inside Montgomery.....Maybe some 5300 are coming to Montgomery???

checked nextbus, 5309 is at Montgomery, 5311 and 5321 remain at Northern, and 5301 hasn't shown data in quite a while, so it's probably there as well.
5306 hasn't shown data in a while either, it may either be there as well, or getting rehabbed at Bladensburg (that's the last place I saw it), and I wonder what's of 5320.

but anyways, I saw 5747 on the 55 today

On Sunday 10/30/11 I saw WMATA Xcelsior #7053 on the Y line at Georgia & Norbeck. This is not the first time I've seen an Xcelsior on the weekend out of Montgomery Division.

This morning I saw Ride On Gillig #115349 on the #26 at Twinbrook Station.

Happy Halloween!

Agreed!  Montgomery has defnitely been using their Xcelsiors on the weekend.  I saw one on the Z8 this past Saturday.  Also, two weeks ago i saw one parked at Montgomery Mall.

Neo tics at Montgomery? Probably some moves going on while the Xcelsiors come in which means Northern is probably getting some Xcelsiors and moving some buses elsewhere.
