As one who questioned this news when it was first reported, I'll admit I was wrong. I'm just surprised still that New Flyer didn't make a big deal about it.

Me too. Kinda surprising considering it's the capital lol.

WMATA has ordered 51 Orion VIIs, 26 of them will be hybrid and the other 25 will be clean diesel. If I recall correctly they are to all be 30 footers.
Correct these will replace the 3900s aka orions v 30 ft supposedly wmata was going to order 30ft new flyer buses but fairfax connector ordered more xcelsiors and their are coming out late so then that made cancel their contract and start a new contract with orion. info by wmata general manager and engineer from orion at the wmata bus roadeo!

Any word on the retirements of the Vs? The 1997-98 40ft?

Yeah the 4200's are being replaced. Some came back in service because of the Orion VI's being retired. The 4300's/44s will probly go next year.

cool, I heard about the fire on that VI and they would retire them all. It would have been interesting to see all the 4200's being retire cuz that they would be short of buses even though the new ones are being delivered.
