#POTUS is at an event at #UnionStation, so #WMATA trains are skipping the station. #MARC and #VRE will be delayed too.

From my Metro Rewind (station name blocked out so I don't somewhat dox myself). I was in the top 5.49% of my station and the top 7% of all riders!

#WMATA has an #RFP out for disposal of its fleet of 2000-series railcars. The cars still ran quite well up through the end.
#WMATA has a habit of getting rid of cars, sometimes prematurely, and then claims later on that they don't have enough cars to run more frequent service (or in this case, an excuse to buy more 8Ks)

Ten years ago today, the car-clogged, concrete sprawl of Tysons Corner became less distant from my walkable, leafy corner of Arlington when Metro finally opened the first phase of its Silver Line extension.
July 26, 2014 was a day long awaited. It had taken years of political maneuvering to get this project past obstruction and outright opposition from windshield-perspective politicians in Washington, Richmond and even Northern Virginia, followed by years of seeing the mostly-elevated segment inch through Tysons and beyond as construction delays pushed its planned opening from 2013 into 2014.
After all of that, boarding the first revenue-service westbound train on that Saturday–still one of the nerdier things I’ve done, which I realize is saying a lot–and then enjoying the view gliding above traffic felt like an epic win.
Knowing that I could take the train to the occasional work or social event in Tysons instead of taking my chances with traffic on I-66 and routes 7 or 123 represented an immediate upgrade to my NoVa logistics.
It took me a little longer to realize how having Metro get within seven miles of Dulles Airport would ease getting to and from IAD. And then I had to wait another eight years, vastly more than I would have imagined before the pandemic and even on our way out of it, to see the Silver Line reach Dulles itself.
I enjoyed that one-seat transit ride to Dulles yet again Thursday morning, which also gave me time to contemplate how that view from above Tysons has changed and how it hasn’t. While the McLean stop has undergone a remarkable level of urbanization that now features the tallest building in Northern Virginia, the Tysons station has seen less of a transformation–and the view to the south of Greensboro and Spring Hill has barely budged in that decade.
Meanwhile, walking outside the immediate vicinity of those stops can be as miserable as ever.
The scenery looked considerably better near the Wiehle-Reston East and Reston Town Center stations, where transit-oriented development has taken off without having so much of each neighborhood already chopped up by six- or eight-line roads.
My perspective on the Silver Line has also changed after seeing so many other transit megaprojects in the U.S. fly off their budgetary rails–for example, the Purple Line in Maryland, which has reached the tracks-on-the-ground stage of construction after billions of dollars in overruns and remains at least three years from opening. After all the angst over financing Metro’s farthest-reaching extension into the suburbs, we got this done at a per-mile cost cheaper than almost every other new transit project in the U.S. and even some overseas.
We should take a little pride in this public work… especially when talking to New Yorkers whose far more extensive subway system still doesn’t touch any of their airports.

Bye, #WMATA / #DCMetro / #Metrorail / whatever the hashtag is. You've been way better than I was expecting (save for a mildly inconvenient track obstruction this morning, barely worth mentioning!)
Suspect a lot of communal knowledge re: "the Metro sucks" is tainted by how bad the system was back in the 2010s?

Getting my first silver line experience..... Ashburn Station isn't exactly a hopping place lol.

@anuckols I started in Arlington, biked to the East Falls Church station, biked directly to every Silver Line Extension station, then my bike on the Metro to get back. Here’s the route I used (it’s rotated to fit; north is to the right) #BikeTooter #SilverLine #WMATA

6/6 Final Silver Line stations
-I found bike-friendly access to Dulles Airport Station (after surviving Old Ox Rd's 45 mph traffic gauntlet): cut thru Garage 1, use elevators
-Loudoun Gateway Station: parking garage, station, nothing more
-Ashburn station means I made it!

5/6 My Silver Line bike adventure headed into Phase 2 stations
-Herndon Station, upgraded from a bus park & ride
-seems so recent that there was barely anything here
-Innovation Center, surrounded by new housing & offices
-this is a paved sidepath, well, under all of the debris
#WMATA #SilverLine #BikeTooter #BikeTransit #bikeVA -
4/6 Moving on to Silver Line Phase 2 stations (opened in 2022)
-strange multi-sided tv displays outside Wiehle-Reston East
-stopping to have a Brunch Burger at Big Buns
-Reston Town Center surprisingly does not connect well to nearby major trail @WODTrail

3/6 More Silver Line adventure pics
-The scale of this mural at the Boro by (Instagram: jessieandkatey) is what gets me
-Spring Hill station, contained within Route 7 (Leesburg Pike)
-gorgeous day on @WODTrail
-end of Phase 1 stations (opened in 2014), Wiehle-Reston East
#WMATA #SilverLine #BikeTooter #BikeTransit #bikeVA -
2/6 My Silver Line adventure took me into Tysons
-Tysons station: in the middle of shiny skyscrapers popping up everywhere
-Greensboro station has some nice murals nearby, but it is sandwiched between like 1,000 lanes (slight hyperbole) of noisy & speeding traffic (truth)
