Will MARC be running on the day after Thanksgiving ?

I know in the past service on this day ran following the "S" schedule, but note on the timetables lists the day after Thanksgiving as a day when
MARC does not run.

The MARC website however only lists Thanksgiving Day itself as a day when MARC will not be running.


Thanks

I'm not sure. They weren't supposed to run on Veterans Day either, but operated on an S schedule this year (likely because it was during the week i.e. not Mon or Fri).

I reached a person on the phone yesterday, and she said it is fustrating to them as employees, as they do not know yet.

For me, I am winding up spending Thanksgiving with the in-laws, who live in Baltimore (no further comment on that), and for Friday we figured on going to DC.
