@wmataGM @wmata On the topic of frequencies and equipment, Mr. Clarke, when do you expect the remaining 6000-series cars to be put back into the fleet? The coupler overhaul program is behind earlier agency time estimates.

#wmata has reenabled Automatic Door Operations on the Red Line. No more waiting 5 seconds (or more) for the doors to open at stations where ADO works correctly.

@wmata FYI, The Black Cat that lives at Branch Ave Station is now a staple in the community. He greets us every morning. Y’all need to hire him and feed him. Thanks

"We have taken every possible effort to minimize customer inconvenience" False; Silver Line trains do not need to run 20 minute headways during rush hour for this work. More GR/YL trains could run. There are several options not taken by #wmata .

When it rains it pours. There's another report of an arcing insulator between Van Ness and Tenleytown on the Shady Grove-bound track. I'd say to expect delays, but y'all are already suffering this evening. #wmata
