Limited Metrorail Service Tuesday Will Include Some, But Not All, Above Ground Stations

2010_0208_wmata.jpg And here's the word from WMATA: limited Metrorail service will see the Yellow, Green and Orange Lines back to full service on Tuesday, while the Red and Blue Lines will remain at partial service.

The Red Line will travel in two sections, from Medical Center to Union Station and Glenmont to Forest Glen, and the Blue Line will be only between Franconia-Springfield and Stadium-Armory. That leaves a total of 15 stations that will remain closed Tuesday.

The rail system will open at its regular 5 a.m. start time, with a combination of six- and eight-car trains that will operate at 30-minute intervals and travel at maximum speeds of 35 miles per hour.

Limited Metrobus service will start at 5 a.m. Check the full list of Metrobuses running on Tuesday below the jump.

MetroAccess will operate between 8 a.m. and noon Tuesday only for customers traveling to crucial medical appointments, like for chemotherapy or dialysis.

Of course, all of this slightly increased service may come to crashing halt relatively quickly on Tuesday night as the next round of snow accumulates.
