How would you go about doing that?Red- Rush hour, make more trains be Silver Spring- Grosvenor. Off hours you could probably make a Takoma-Friendship Heights service work, but I doubt either of those terminals would work very well on peak headways. Perhaps turn some trains at Brookland using the Greenbelt connector. Turn back in the Silver spring pocket using fall back operators that would board a Takoma, run through station without opening doors. fall back operators at Friendship Heights. Orange/Silver/Blue- Cut the Blue back to Stadium Armory full time. Perhaps Some Silver turns at Addison Road and some Orange line at Cheverly. Additionally, any remaining capacity not used by the Blue at Stadium Armory could be used by Silver/Orange- Orange line: Fall back operators at Deenwood, turn back using the Cheverly interlocking, run through station without opening doors. Blue line: Fall back operators at Capitol Heights turn back using the Addison Road interlocking, enter and leave station without opening doors. Do the same with Silver line trains. Yellow/Green- Cut the Yellow back to Fort Totten or Mt. Vernon. Some short turning Greens at Fort Totten too. On the south end, Turn some back at Naylor. I know Naylor is two stops into Maryland, but it is close enough to DC to keep IMHO. Also, cutting back the Green to run additional Yellows might be worth considering. Green line: Fall back operators at Fort Totten and Southern Avenue. Yellow line: Same as green line at Fort Totten. John in the sand box of Maryland's eastern shore. |
