@alanthefisher Ride the Metro out to Wiehle, Vienna, or Shady Grove (assuming it isn’t raining) to see what it’s like to go 75 mph. The tunnel under the Potomac going outbound (Foggy Bottom to Rosslyn) is 75 as well (65 inbound). ATO and Design Speed is awesome

@RayTrainToTrop @wmata Only does so much when it’s this hot out.

[Oakley 🛤️ @otree38]

@commies25 @wmata This is completely normal. ATO being on changes nothing about the train protection systems baked into the signal system.

Today is the last day of DC Circulator service across all remaining routes. Service will end at 9 PM. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our riders for their support over the past 19 years and appreciate the community’s understanding during this transition.

Hot(?) take: no. 3+ hours on a gallery car is a special kind of hell. This is a job for expanded Amtrak state-supported service.

[Hometown Virginia 🏗️ @arlvabikelanes]

This train should go to Richmond

@BarredinDC @JoeHeim @wmata Loudoun Gateway is also the location for the Dulles Yard employee shuttle. I don’t know if employee taps are counted in this metric but if they are the true ridership for the station is even lower.

@walkinghispath @hankgreen Keep in kind this is at 3am, usually the low point in terms of demand, so natural gas’s influence is typically much higher (above 50%)
