March 2009 Observations

[WES]

I saw a unknown 2100 on the R12 and it was wrapped. 

It ain't April Fools  yet, so take that s*** out of Landover.  I would have rather had bunch of Flxibles than some crappy a** 2000 Orion Vs.

With all do respect WES, I would rather us have the 2100s then the Ds. Not that I don't like the Ds, it's just they are starting to bore me. We need a break from them seriously. GIVE US SOME GODDAMN METRO Es!! Oh yeah 4094 seen as NOT IN SERVICE with an M block at Silver Spring then later on seen with an L block on the F4. 5416 and 5419 on the R2.

[LandoverDivision]

NOTE TO GEORGE: 4073 on the J4 Bethesda Station.

[ChristopherF]

4072 is BLADENSBURG ... 4073 is now MONTGOMERY

[NewFlyer9736BCT]

Thanks Landover!

Well it looks like we got our new Metro-E assignments (for now)

4001-4051: Annex
4052-4072: Bladensburg
4073-4104: Montgomery

...with the possibility that some might still be at Arlington, or that some of the Annex buses may be transferred.

[BladensburgB2]

    Wes why did you go off bout that 2100 at landover? I read that cracked up. Why dont to many people like them to me there just like all Orion's V right?

It appears that all of Arlington's Flxibles have gone to Bladensburg & Montgomery.  4020 was spotted on the F4 yesterday.  Not sure if either that bus was on loan from Annex or that bus is now at Landover.

I would rather see a '98 Orion V anytime over a 2100.  Those things just suck.  And yes I would have loved it if Landover got some Metro Es, I would take them over both the '98 and '00 Orion Vs.  I would taken more Ds than 2100s.

If I ran WMATA.........(wait, note to self I am not retarded)...nevermind.

[79MetroExtraMD]

What about WMATA don't you like? The management, operations, people?

[LandoverDivision]

Not that I agree with WES but at times, WMATA can do some pretty retarted stuff. But it would be awesome to run WMATA. Maybe we can have people in there that would do stuff that makes sense.

[ChristopherF]

So far, WMATA's soon-to-be-defunct Arlington Division has 4200-4260 (4257 is the highest numbered 4200-series Orion V I have seen on the current Arlington route).  4200-4219 previously operated out of Bladensburg; 4220-4224 previously operated out of Landover for a brief time earlier this year & 4225-4239 previously operated out of Montgomery.  I'm glad that all of the low-to-mid 4200s are reunited at soon-to-be-defunct Arlington Division, which will close permanently on Friday.

[WES]

What I meant by the last comment that WMATA isn't retarded but that someone who's on anotber board keeps talking about running T/As with the dumbest of plans.  I am not going to say who that poster is but this person currently doesn't post on this board and hasn't for a very long while.

Those who know that phrase know who I am talking about
