Posted by Sand Box John on Fri Sep 9 23:49:19 2011, in response to Re: WMATA: Comparing the first map to the latest, posted by The Flxible Neofan on Fri Sep 9 11:52:55 2011. The new map you linked is quite confusing, especially with the dotted structure for the Yellow Line. Of course, I had no idea what they meant before I took the survey, as I was only thinking of the Yellow Line running in Off-Peak hours only. So, if it's running up to Fort Totten "full time" (albeit only every 20 minutes), why do anything different for that portion of the line? They should have done that when the Yellow Line was only running off peak service!Not all Yellow line trains will go to Greenbelt during peak. As I understand it the Yellow line as it is operated today will remain the same. Peak Yellow line trains out of Springfield - Franconia will go to Greenbelt. I don't like the multiple branches per line color, though, but I guess people are used to it as WMATA changes things up from time to time for high ridership days like Independence Day, right? I don't like it either. I think the Silver line should run to Largo during peak in lieu of the Orange trains that will short turn at West Falls Church. During the studies that were done to come up with this service reconfiguration the Springfield - Franconia / Greenbelt service was identified as the Teal or Aqua line. The Independence Day service reconfiguration hasn't been done for the last couple of years, WMATA does however beef up the level of service throughout the day and basically throws everything at the railroad after the festivities. After events at the Verizon Center some Blue line train operated between Mount Vernon Square and Springfield - Franconia. John in the sand box of Maryland's eastern shore. |
