WRT to that second question, has that always been the case or is that a more recent innovation?.They began running random consists almost immediately after they were deployed system wide. The hand full of times I've seen or ridden them after system wide deployment they were mostly random consists. 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? The media is parroting because that's what the media does when it's to lazy or to disinterested to assemble all of the who, what, where, when and why on a given matter. Me thinks the CYA exists because one or more of those folks doesn't want to get cut off at the knees if something screws up really bad. 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. You will get no argument from me on that. John in the sand box of Maryland's eastern shore. |
