"Metro will reopen six Fairfax County stations and restore Silver Line service on August 16—weeks earlier than originally planned"

Remember that #wmata's original summer shutdown plan did not include closing any Silver Line stations other than EFC.

wmata.com/about/news/Sil…
Stations remaining closed:
* Vienna
* Dunn Loring
* East Falls Church

WFC, like in the original shutdown plan, will be the Orange Line western terminus. #wmata
"Customers at all Orange Line stations will notice ongoing construction activity at the stations, even after they reopen."

Just because trains are back doesn't mean #wmata is "finished" with its work.
Throwback to my reporting from 22 April when #wmata modified the summer shutdown to close all Silver Line stations west of Ballston: metroreasons.blogspot.com/2020/04/metro-…
The entire Silver Line did not need to close for the Wiehle Phase 2 tie-in (there were multiple reasons, read my #pt)

"#WMATA is favorably looking at doing a complete shutdown for two to three weeks instead of 15 to 16 weekend shutdowns."

With #wmata now saying they'lll reopen the Silver Line to Wiehle on August 16, the ball is in MWAA's court for when they'll restore the Silver Line Express bus running from Wiehle to IAD: ggwash.org/view/77742/sle…

#WMATA has requested bus shuttles; bus shuttles are not yet in place.
#WMATA radio transmissions do appear to suggest that damage to Metro power infrastructure may have been intentional, and is what's causing this service suspension. Few details available yet as to power restoration timeline.

#WMATA has released its own timeline and after-action report of the July 30 cable fire event on the Red Line: wmata.com/about/board/me…

#WMATA does not know who asked for the Red Tag outage to physically rack out breakers in the area of the tunnel fire on 7/30?

#WMATA offloaded Red Line train 114 due to a propulsion issue. The train is now being "Proceeded" - that is, a lookout in the lead car is radioing back to someone further back in the train so the train can move - in order to get it back to a rail yard.

Delays, both directions.
The #WMATA ROCC appears to have found a clever way to route around the disabled train just outside Grosvenor. Inbound trains are traversing via the pocket track; outbound is unaffected.

Among other derailment investigation cascading effects: #WMATA has overhauled fewer of its older 2000/3000-series railcars with new components because they're needed for service.
As of March 2022, 82 of 182 6000-series railcars were potentially available for service.
