December 2008 Obervations

[LandoverDivision]

I swear I think 4221 and 4222 is at Landover. But then again, I saw 4223 on the W4 earlier today. So I don't know yet.

Fancher, I agree with you and I will post photos for analysis when I get to a computer.

In other news so far today,
5401 5A - a GREAT ride, didn't feel a single bump, and passed an Orange line train.  Saw it a couple hours later when I was on WashFly, so it's on a day block...sch 9:45 AM out of Rosslyn towards Dulles if anyone wants to follow the block.

Also just saw 9488 on the 26A.

Finally someone saw these on the 5A. So what other 60-BRT is at FMR besides 5401?

[Antozilla]

Are they at FMR? Staff told me that they could not accommodate artics at FMR

Well whoever told you that lied, They use to have about 5 MAN artics back in the day for the 8 line.

Yeah, FMR is artic-compatible. Maybe the staff said that because there was no more room for artics because of the amount of buses they have there already, but given the amount of room (which I'm almost 100% positive that there is enough room since FMR is huge), it is artic-capable.

Besides, I don't think any of the artics are at FMR, the ones seen on the 5A are done by Bladensburg. At least that's what I heard.

Oh, and I saw 5710 yesterday on the 76. The front sign was messed up.

[wmata employee]

FMR  has only 2 5401-5402 they are parked in the main lot were the maint.buswash area.

Hey are D40LFR common on the K6?

[wmata employee]

all depends on whats available,but  normally  the K6always gets I believe 97/98 flxible.

[Tristan]

That's incorrect, not that they don't get Flxibles and maybe they even get them quite often but I know all I see on weekends is D40LFRs.
