Actually, just a moment ago you said "I call it as I see it. What I said may or may not be true." I agree with others, fear mongering without sources or data to back it up, especially when you say "what I said may or may not be true" but then speak those opinions/assumptions as fact, is...

Maybe they took advantage of the delay to either a) upgrade something that would have been passable but not ideal before, or b) do some unrelated work that would have to have been done down the road?

I understand your point, though generally it can be removed.

Well I mean, yeah of course...they would never not have fences. Not sure why there was ever an assumption otherwise?

I always assumed the space between the platform and the bridge was future-proofing for any future extensions westward, and that that was the space required to bring the tracks back together before passing under the bridge. Is that not the case? Or is that in addition to the points you mentioned?

Technically yes, although as far as I could tell they ran it once before new years (I'm guessing so they could still claim to have returned it to service before the end of the year), and then stopped running it again for another month. It's only in the last couple days it's come back. Been long...

Somewhere on this forum I saw a post (I think from F-Line?) detailing a possible extension of the green line past Porter to Watertown via the old ROW running by the reservoir (and some possible street-running along Arsenal Street I think?). I can see if I can dig up that post, but that extension...

I assume by passthrough, we're talking about connections between trains rather than across them?

I'm not sure on the proportion, but I use here or here to see what's currently in use and where. So far I haven't seen more than three (maybe four but I might be misremembering) new trains in operation at a time right now.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from the attachment it sounds like two married pairs per month, i.e. four cars, or two trains every three months rather than one. Also, what's the source you grabbed this from? I'm not familiar with this accessibility report

I noticed this morning that newtrains.today shows a new red line train last seen 7 hours ago...for those with more knowledge than me, could this be a sign that the new red line train is finally coming back into service (my initial thought was testing)? Or maybe just a fluke with the...

What appears to be new fare machines were being installed at Davis this morning.

It's frustrating, but not unexpected. I work in architecture and I can tell you from first hand experience these production chain delays are real and crazy. We've had a couple small projects this summer that have now been sitting at 99% complete for the last month and a half, waiting for one...

Does the orange line use a track-side tag system to know where it is/announce upcoming stations? How much does that system tie into the headings on the trains? And how much control does the driver ultimately have to correct the situation if it's messed up? Just curious how much of this is to...

I'm pretty sure that photo is of the DC Metro...?

I noticed this a couple days ago as well. Looks like a recent (and positive!) development.

I'm not directly involved with the team so I can't confirm, but I believe you are correct Equilibria regarding the future south condition. It's true the wall that the service side creates isn't great, I'll agree on that point. There have been pushes for softening that edge/creating better...
