[NewFlyer9736BCT]

Yesterday I was over at Bladensburg div an I walked down to the end of the yard and I came across 6040 when I seen that I wanted to cry that bus had been taken apart the transmission an everything else was gone from that bus.

just got a forwarded email from Chris F...looks like Connector is getting their next order as 9600s (9600-9645)...from what I heard, 9600-9613 are already in service.
wow I can't wait for my next visit to Virginia...

Also, I just saw 5578 on the 45...I haven't seen that bus in FOREVER
Yesterday, I saw 5404 deadheading toward Shady Grove Station on the 370...looks like it's still a Nicholson bus

Oh 9600s. I thought it was 9800 from the one I saw on 66 a couple months back. I wonder why they chose 9600 instead of 9800 since their 9700s were from 2007.

With Connector stuck in the County's vehicle numbering scheme, it's no surprise.

what about 4200 and 4201? they still at Bladensburg? Last I saw 4203 and 4205, they were at Bladensburg, looks like 4205 is Annex now and 4203 could be anywhere
