Been watching this train that has been killing Red Line performance the last two hours. They've recovered the train using a second and are pushing/pulling it to a rail yard.

Sort of reminds me of #WMATA from 2016

Good job, y'all, keep it up. #nokings is busy enough you've got #WMATA station staff having to report crowding conditions back to the MICC.

#WMATA has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to get more information from vendors about what it might take to design and implement a CBTC train signaling system.

The RFI is not about actually doing the install, just gathering information.

All, I believe, of #WMATA's electric buses, are being recalled due to high-voltage fire risk:

Earlier delays on Green/Yellow lines appear to be due to a hydraulic fluid leak/spill which began on the Red Line but continued to Yellow/Green.

Looks like Grosvenor will be one of, if not the first, stations to be getting platform screen doors in the future:

Screenshot of two WMATA toots, one claiming delays due to a track inspection, the later saying the delay was due to a train brake issue.

At approximately 6:12pm, Orange Line train 918 heading towards Vienna struck a metal object around East Falls Church. The metal appears to be fencing which may have been broken off by the wind.

Orange/Silver service remains suspended on either side of the station.
