WMATA Green Line Interesting Observations

 by gprimr1 ¦  Sat Mar 23, 2024 11:48 am ¦  Forum: DC - Maryland - Virginia Area Passenger Rail: MTA(MARC), VRE, WMATA(Metro) ¦  Topic: WMATA Green Line Interesting Observations ¦  Replies: 3 ¦  Views: 267

I went to see the Cherry Blossoms Thursday and ended up back at Gallery Place/Chinatown so I took the Green Line back to Fort Totten to change to the redline. I noticed two odd things. 1.) There looks like a big vault right after Mt. Vernon, like an expansion pad was build that would allow a new lin...

Re: Loss of Nighttime Services at NYP?

The 10:05/11:05 is an NYP-WAS train, so I don't see why bridge work would impact a train originating in Sunnyside. They should at least run service to Newark from DC, connecting to PATH, and service to Grand Central from Boston. Would be interesting if Amtrak ran an Acela trainset to Newark but sold...

That makes it even worse.

Can't recommend Amtrak for a day in NYC unless you are willing to leave by 8pm.

That's understandable, but also frustrating that they couldn't get one additional slot to keep the 10pm train.

Re: The decline of sleeper trains

I think there would be a market for that, especially if you could deliver reliable travel times on single-night overnight trips just like I think there is a market for no-frills business class flights (think Spirit level service, but you get a lay flat seat.) SNCF has 2 bed options as well and they ...

Loss of Nighttime Services at NYP?

One of my friends was looking to take Amtrak home from NYP in September of this year, but looking at the schedule, it appears they are no longer offering trains between 8pm and Midnight out of Penn heading south. I checked three random dates in September and October, and the 9pm train is missing, as...

Forum Outage this Weekend

Hello An extended forum outage will occur this weekend. Our initial aim will be for this afternoon but it may change. I know this is not an ideal time to take the forum down; however, PHPBB 3.3.10 is a feature release vs. a security release, and this requires extended time and access to our theme de...

STrRedWolf, I know, but I thought someone said they would use the old tunnels for freight, that's why I said I thought they were falling apart.

I remember there was talk at one point about restoring the Camden connector to increase flexibility with MARC service.

I thought the B&P Tunnels were falling apart, that's why they are being replaced, not just due to the bottleneck they cause.

I have to agree, why not future-proof them and add freight clearance?

IMGUR Uploads

Jeff has forwarded me some complaints about IMGUR uploads working intermittently. After doing some research, I found that IMGUR has posted a status update about degraded performance with their site since May 12th 2023. As an alternative, the "upload attachment" tab allows the uploading of ...

I don't think they need a full food service car. The night buses are making money without these services, and without showers. For Food, they could either just provide vouchers worth a specific amount, good at any place in the terminal, or partner with a restaurant in the terminal. For example, all ...

There are LA to SF night buses that are pretty cool. The big downside to the night bus if you have to get off when it arrives. How this service could succeed would be if it allowed passengers to remain on the train until X time. For example, if the train arrives at 6:00 am, passengers can remain on ...
