Metro says it is working to submit its testing plan to Metrorail Safety Commission. The test is trying to figure out how often they need to check vehicles to make sure they catch anything before they happen.
Jannetta says they aren't sure how much headways would improve with the additional trains. They are working to figure that out.
Metro says it still doesn't have an idea of scope or length of time for the 7000-series outage
Metro says there's "no excuse" for running 2 traincars that Metro KNEW had wheel issue
They've implemented new procedures to make sure that doesn't happen including tags on outside of the train, inside the cab. Also requires supervisor permission to move.
