This begins thread 4 of the ongoing Blue Line derailment investigation. You can find thread 3 below, or summarized here:

Red and Yellow #WMATA riders are seeing some additional trains today:
In addition, it appears #WMATA has begun to re-add two 8 car trains on the Blue line (still running every 39 minutes, though)

The two #wmata 7000-series test trains have wrapped up on the Yellow line and have switched to the Orange line. Riders between Vienna and New Carrollton will see two non-revenue/out-of-service 7000-series trains running for the next couple of days.
