WMATA has already come up with a solution to this. As has been discussed on this board many times including over the past few days (albeit not under a thread title that would make it easy to see that the topic was being discussed), half the trains from Franconia-Springfield will operate via the Fenwick Bridge to Greenbelt on what WMATA is calling the Aqua Line as of now. Some trains from Vienna and Dulles will be sent to Largo and New Carrollton as needed to maintain needed service levels. Since most Blue Line passengers are headed for Farragut West and that general area and enjoy the one seat ride they currently have, they are NOT looking forward to whenever Silver Line service starts and this change takes place. In fact, the Blue Line to Greenbelt may come on line in some form BEFORE the Silver Line even operates. This is why WMATA never reswapped the Blue and Yellow Line southern terminals as they said they would when Van Dorn Street opened in 1991. |
