Chris.A Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 Anyone have any thoughts about where the train system should be expanded to next. I honestly would love to see the Blue line expanded to Woodbridge in PW county. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCTransitFilms Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 There were plans on the Blue Line to Woodbridge, Orange Line to Centerville, Green Line to National Harbor, the Brown Line which would operate between Friendship Heights and Montgomery County, and the Beltway Loop. None will be happening anytime soon because of both costs and demand. I think the most likely scenario will be the Blue Line to Woodbridge or Orange Line to Centerville since the tracks at both Vienna and Franconia can be extended our further. It probably won’t happen anytime soon but there are talks every once in a while. right now, there are proposals of a new Rosslyn tunnel and a new Rosslyn station but that’d take 20-30 years just to execute and will cost millions will probably cost tax payers a lot Here’s a link of a Greater Greater Washington Post over the rejected ideas. https://ggwash.org/view/77619/five-mostly-rejected-ideas-for-metro-expansion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob S Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 The yellow line could be extended to Fort Belvoir, the tunnels at Huntington extend beyond the station. Another set of tunnel stubs are located on the blue line at the Pentagon. They were built for a line down Columbia Pike. Those two should be done.

DCTransitFilms Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Rosslyn is having congestion problems since the Orange Line Rush Plus went into service and then the Silver Line. Heres an article about it https://wamu.org/story/19/12/06/metro-looks-at-building-new-lines-to-address-tunnel-congestion-but-whats-realistic/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroncoFan623 Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 @Chris.A I think having a line going down Columbia Pike would be very cool and very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
