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

#WMATA
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) Image

Riders on the Yellow Line are going to see two eight-car, 7000-series trains running. These trains are not in service and are part of the agency's plan submitted last week to the WMSC. #wmata
#wmata submitted its testing plan to the WMSC; some more trains are back today on the Red and Yellow lines. I don't have the Magic Eight Ball yet that will tell me when things will be back to normal, though.
#wmata
#wmata spox today said fare changes as a result of the 7K derailment (i.e. temporarily stopping peak fare charges) is a decision for the Board of Directors to provide policy guidance on
It's Tuesday, which means #wmata 's GTFS schedule data for trains got updated again.
#wmata
Does this mean my PARP will be further delayed
#wmata
Connolly focuses partially here on why the #wmata Chief Mechanical Officer and their office didn't tell the WMSC about the ongoing 7K wheel alignment issue.
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.
Don't look now, but there's an 8-car train out in the wild on the Silver Line today. Two are running on the Blue Line as well. #wmata Image

#WMATA
#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.

#WMATA has posted its FY22 Q3 financial report, dated May 13, 2022. It was posted on July 29, 2022. This period covers January-March, 2022.
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.
