A 1632-minute delay is in effect at Stadium-Armory in the direction of
Vienna/Fairfax-GMU.

That'll be one miserable 27-hour wait.

that´s ok...I´m sure metro will be providing complimentary tents and smores for the overnight wait. Holy accurate alert system!

 

It may be a long wait, but Metro promises it will be worth it! ;-)

I wonder if they were offering free shuttle service to nearby Metro stops becuase of the long wait.

I'm still here! Where's this train??

 

They sent another email about two minutes later changing that "1632" to a "12."

Meaning that in two minutes, they shaved 1,620 minutes off the delay.

Now THAT is service.
