So some of West Ox's Orion Vs have hit Landover. Question: If Annex is due to be replaced, who is going to take over their routes until the new one opens?

These replacements are a few years out so no need to sound any alarms.

9714 on the F8

9491 on the T18

6394 doing driver training, leaving Dupont Circle, heading onto P Street east.

On another note, I would say about anywhere between 20 to 30 Metro Ds are either retired or about to be retired.  The FFX Connector takeover of the 12s and 20s speeded that process up.

Very surprising and interesting site this morning. 9366 on the F12. Nothing surprising about that right? That's normal. What wasn't normal about this bus was the sign. The LCD is now yellow. It was broke kinda. The only thing it showed it the front was STATION. Everything else was blocked. The side sign was working though but it looked like someone put it on too low. Anyways, I think this is the only Flx-B in the system to have the sign.

I was planning to go on a busfan ride around MD-DC-VA today until I realized upon arriving at Silver Spring that I forgot my memory card for my camera, so that was no fun.

BUT...I did find a couple of things:

4383 on the F4, L block
2439 on the 79, B777 block
6417 on the S4
4306 and 6105 on the Q2
