Apologies for the brief https://dcmetrohero.net downtime - rebooting the server to apply some updates. It'll be back up soon! #WMATA

Been watching this train that has been killing Red Line performance the last two hours. They've recovered the train using a second and are pushing/pulling it to a rail yard. Sort of reminds me of #WMATA from 2016

Red Line signal issue at Fort Totten is leading to delays up to half an hour for riders. #WMATA

Good job, y'all, keep it up. #nokings is busy enough you've got #WMATA station staff having to report crowding conditions back to the MICC.

#WMATA has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to get more information from vendors about what it might take to design and implement a CBTC train signaling system. The RFI is not about actually doing the install, just gathering information.

"During the construction of Silver Line Phase II, IDW system materials were selected which have failed prematurely and impacted the long-term reliability of the IDW system." #WMATA

#WMATA is planning for a 2-month shutdown next summer for Purple Line integration @ Bethesda. Stations between Friendship Heights & North Bethesda would be closed. See this and more: https://www.wmata.com/about/board/meetings/board-pdfs/upload/3A-Maintenance-Related-Service-Outages.pdf

Thank you to the loyal base of #metrohero users that continue to find value in the open-source application! #WMATA

Earlier delays on Green/Yellow lines appear to be due to a hydraulic fluid leak/spill which began on the Red Line but continued to Yellow/Green. #WMATA

Arcing insulator outside Fort Totten, delays down to L'Enfant and further. #WMATA

Metro Hero is taking this weekend off. Stay safe out there.

Well....the D&G is acting up again. Delays on the Orange/Silver/Blue lines, single-tracking between Eastern Market and Addison Rd/Cheverly #WMATA

At approximately 6:12pm, Orange Line train 918 heading towards Vienna struck a metal object around East Falls Church. The metal appears to be fencing which may have been broken off by the wind. Orange/Silver service remains suspended on either side of the station. #WMATA

For fairly obvious reasons, the #WMATA Board of Directors held an executive session meeting today talking about (presumably) budgets.

At 9:09pm, #dcfems responded to a woman shot at #waterfront station. All #WMATA MTPD radio is encrypted, so we have no insight into how the police agency responded.

Pet the #WMATA real-time train location API (obtained via DCMetroHero) there was a gap in service at Dulles inbound from 10:44pm until 11:53pm (the last train of the evening). In that time, Metro sent 5 out-of-service trains through the station towards West […] [Original post on thepit.social]

#wmsc says that #WMATA can restore automated train operations on the Red Line. Watch this space for updates soon 👀

#WMATA rail crews just had to block off and isolate a railcar due to poop.

For those interested/curious, Automatic Train Operation (ATO) is not back today, the first day of December, on the Red Line. On 21 November 2024, #WMATA said they are "operationally ready" for ATO's return (initially on the Red Line) in December […] [Original post on thepit.social]
