RD/Shady Grove train delays due to a disabled train outside of Takoma.

#wmata has dispatched a railcar mechanic to assist the operator with the error.
RD/Farragut North train 204 with the software issue is on the move, will be offloading @ Fort Totten. #wmata
The bad Red Line train is on its way at 15mph to Brentwood Yard (between Rhode Island Ave & NoMa), so delays should begin to reduce once it gets there. #wmata

"Today, Metro announced a delay of at least five months to complete construction of the Potomac Yard Metrorail Station"

Metro blames its own ATC system design in the PY plans for the delay, says it wasn't safe.

#wmata Potomac Yard station is now scheduled to open Fall 2022
Alexandria statement re: the Potomac Yard delay calls the ATC issue a "contract language mistake" regarding ATC technical specifications (also that it is "inexcusable")
#wmata

#wmata informed Alexandria of its decision to delay the PY opening for ~5 months to fix the ATC design issue it found, not the other way around. Not sure why Alexandria would know more about the issue than the agency's own staff...

Yellow/Blue line delays due to an unauthorized person on the roadway @ Pentagon City.

Delays, both directions. #wmata
Due to someone on the tracks between Pentagon & Pentagon City, expect no Blue/Yellow line service in the area.

No ETA.

Trains will offload/reverse as directed by the ROCC on either side of the area. #wmata

Expect Blue Line trains to turn around @ Arlington Cemetery back to Largo

YL trains will run between Fort Totten & L'Enfant Plaza

Both YL/BL south of National Apt will turn around there @ the station.

A #wmata supervisor first notified the Rail Operations Control Center of this at 9:32pm. MTPD personnel are on scene at Navy Yard Metrorail (likely already were there b/c the game, now providing add'l support). Actual incident details are unclear.
#wmata is dispatching its baseball gap trains early to shuttle riders entering the system at Navy Yard. The trains should run up to Mt. Vernon Sq before turning around.
