This weekend on Metrorail, Greenbelt station will still be closed due to SafeTrack Surge 14, but Green Line service between Branch Avenue and College Park will run at regular weekend intervals.
To accommodate for the surge, Yellow Line trains will run from Huntington to Mount Vernon Square rather than Fort Totten. Passengers will have to use Green Line trains to complete their trips.
Orange and Blue Lines will run every 20 minutes as crews install communication cables along tunnel walls. Silver Line trains will also run every 20 minutes, but only between Wiehle-Reston East and Ballston stations—riders who need other stops will have to transfer to the Orange and Blue Lines.
And Red Line trains will operate on a regular weekend schedule.
