Reply to comment by trev1997 in Metro studying Silver Line Express service by walkallover1991

The only way to get increased orange line service at this point is to cut either blue or silver line service.

Current full service has them running 18 trains through the tunnel per hour. They can run up to 24, so there's room for more.

Dream case scenario is they reconfigure the maps so that only two lines go through the Rosslyn tunnel and two lines go over the (currently only yellow line) bridge

The long term goal has always been shifting the blue line crossing north after Rosalyn and sending it through Georgetown. The money is the issue.

It’s gonna be a long, expensive, pain in the ass. But it really needs to happen sooner or later.
