I'm sure folks will probably disagree with me (especially those in Loudoun County), but for some reason I like the "Route 772" name better.

Unrelated, but I noticed that the 7Ks got a programming upgrade this past weekend. "Largo Town Center" is now simply "Largo" on all displays and on the automated announcement system. I am assuming PG Plaza and Tysons Corner have been changed as well.

There are no destination codes for Prince George's Plaza or Tysons Corner, so there was no change there. The sound files played by the announcement system are unrelated to the station names in the destination code table.

I was referring to the physical next-stop indicators on board the trains (not the exterior LED displays)…unless they are still showing PG Plaza/Tyson’s Corner instead of the new station times on the interior displays?

I also noticed on the legacy fleet’s interior next-stop LED displays (when they actually work) “DOORS OPEN” is now displayed next to the three <<</>>> displayed upon arrival. Before “<<</>>>” were just displayed without any verbiage.

I can confirm that "Tysons Corner" is now simply signed as "Tysons"
