Probably because any train running in silver is taken completely out while it’s running all the way out past Dulles, which is a long time during a single leg. Takes a lot more time resources per train vs one on another line. Sucks until they get more 7000s online.

Ah my bad I was mixing it up with Little Serow. Thip Khao is amazing too.

I’m still waiting for Thip Khao to reopen. Been there years ago and it was amazing.

I thought that study said 7 minutes savings was if they don’t have a third rail because it would just catch up to the train in front.

It’s great and all but I really wish they put in a 3rd rail for the silver line extension. We need an express train to make it pretty attractive to me, otherwise it would take 1.5 hrs as opposed to 40 minutes drive. Dulles is extremely far away.

Interesting I just looked up that the sun does set at the earliest time at 4:45pm on Dec 7 with a sun rise at 7:13am in DC. The shortest day is the 21st like we all know but the sun rise happens at 7:23am with a sun set at 4:49pm.

Fast fact: they automated them back in the 70s/80s but made them manual since the accident back in 2008 (I think?). and metro decided they throw the baby with the bath water and kept them manual to this day. Sad that we’re less advanced today than 4 decades ago.

I thought they just had to speak like an adult in a Peanuts cartoon.
