WMATA - Fairfax Cty recommends updating 2 station names

[JDC]

For 'branding' reasons, Fairfax County is recommending to Metro that the Tysons Corner station be renamed to just ' Tysons.' Also, because UVA is leaving its campus by the West Falls Church station, the county is recommending that UVA be dropped from the station's full name, though VT would remain because that school is not moving, https://patch.com/virginia/fallschurch/ ... o-stations

Proposing the shortening of station names, how refreshing ! !

The only rub is, all of the maps and station graphics for phase II of the Silver line are either in place or already made up and waiting to be installed.

I suppose that's a benefit of the new station models that we saw roll out last summer as a result of the Platform project - no physical maps any more, just large LCD screens. No need to update anything at those stations except via pixels.

You forgot about the printed maps in all the other station and aboard train along with the strip maps on the wall signs and on pylons in the station that have them.

Well that should be just great in a few years when the software or hardware goes bad and the station screen maps go blank. Sometimes hard copy is better.
