Re: WMATA: Not So Clandestine Run Of 6 Car Consist Of 7k Cars In Automatic Mode

I believe there are enough 2000s/3000s/6000s to make 6 car trains. Also, remember that they reduced the rush hour train requirement about 12 months ago.

WRT to that second question, has that always been the case or is that a more recent innovation?

If what you are saying about ATO and door controls is true, why is the media parroting the line WMATA puts out every so often about maybe we won't ever restore ATO, and isn't postponing the restoration of ATO a more severe case of CYA than pressing the button? I do believe they would need to retrain staff before restoring ATO systemwide, new TOs have absolutely no training in automatic operations, but that seems like a hurdle that can be overcome.
