Is a 30ft on the 9A common? I saw one on that line on Monday. And also, I rode 6434 on the S9. The windows on that bus can't be opened. And saw 6105 on the C2 at Greenbelt Station.

Does anybody know which division currently has 6301?

30 footers on the 9A are pretty common as that line doesn't get busy at certain times. Also, 6301 might still be at Landover. I don't know what the breakdown on the New Flyers will be garage wise (let alone if the early 6300s have already been delivered).

9362 on the 32...it looks like it started off from Archives and the sign said "McPherson Sq"...do they really have these short 30s trips now? BTW I didn't see the block #

[ChristopherF]

At last checked, 9362 was a Bladensburg bus.  Also at last checked, 9408 was a Montgomery bus.  Could Annex actually wind up with all of the suburban-seated D40LFR New Flyers?

Forgot to mention:

For Chris:

9310 is sitting beside 9394 @ Landover. 9394 has an L block. 9310 still has an R Block.

9396 is now a Landover bus. 9369 is also sitting at Landover but I can't confirm whether or not it's a Landover bus.

9369 has always been a Landover bus.  9310 was originally a Bladensburg bus & was most recently a Royal bus.  Could 9310 actually wind up being a Landover bus?  9394 was most recently a Landover bus.

And it looks like Montgomery has lost another Orion VI to West Ox (formerly Arlington).  2079 was one of the buses wrapped for REX service before that bus was unwrapped & sent to Montgomery in late 2006.

9369 has always been a Landover bus. 

No it hasn't I never saw 9369 here. The first time I saw it was yesterday.

[WES]

Actually 9369 has been a Landover bus.  Originally Landover had 9350-69.  9350-59 went to Royal with 9360-69 staying at Landover.   9369 might have gone elsewhere for a bit but that bus has spent most of its life at Landover.
