June 2009 Observations

[79MetroExtraMD]

6216 34 PM52 @ Potomac Avenue

[WMATAGMOAGH]

Random trivia:  IIRC, the 1998 Orion Vs that are now being reported as having moved from Western to Royal have never switched divisions before, a rarity of sorts for WMATA (though buses assigned to Western have a tendency to stay put for awhile).

[Scrabbleship]

Among the nonstop coverage of the Red Line crash, I saw back-to-back-to-back 5400's doing the Red Line shuttle from Silver Spring.

[Transport]

Last day of Metrobus service on the 12s, 20s, and 2W route in Fairfax County.  Most of the buses were displaying NOT IN SERVICE on the destination signs.  I guess the sign reprogramming began earlier this week.

LAST METROBUS: 4242 on the 8:20pm 12A out of Vienna.  Destination sign: SPECIAL

Why are the 6100's bolded for the Montgomery routes when it appears they are there regularly?  Just wonderin'......

[Scrabbleship]

The lowest 6100's just moved to Montgomery from Annex and somehow are still a big deal.

[WES]

2616 on the 80

4287 was being towed along P Street, this was last running on what looked to be a Silver Spring bound S4. 

[WMATAGMOAGH]

The lowest 6100's just moved to Montgomery from Annex and somehow are still a big deal.

Just moved?  It has been at least a month.  I think it is time to consider their presence at Montgomery normal.
