Posted by WMATAGMOAGH on Tue Mar 20 14:02:01 2012, in response to Re: WMATA: Metro releases system map effective 06 18 2012, posted by Sand Box John on Tue Mar 20 13:36:48 2012. The Orange line trains going to and coming from Largo will be carrying the passenger that are presently using Blue line trains. The only reduction in headways will be between Rosslyn and Pentagon. TPH will remain the same on the C D trunk between Rosslyn and Stadium-Armory, TPH will be greater on the E trunk north of Mount Vernon Square.I understand that, but depending on what TPH is needed at the end of the day once the Silver Line is fully open, I'd advocate for matching the east and west sides of the C and D route in a way that each line only has one destination at each end (or at a minimum, there are only short turns as needed, not branches). It would be simpler for the passengers that way. This redeployment of rolling stock to accommodate passenger loads would not be an issue if WMATA would simply procure more rolling stock to allow more then 20 TPH on the trunk segments of the system. I think we've been saying that for years. I forget who said this, but they built all that beautiful track and have never had enough trains to run on it. |
