A quick warning … When the new metrorail station opens on the Red Line on Saturday, there could be delays, WMATA reports. It will take some time for train schedules to readjust to accommodate the new stop at the New York Avenue-Florida Avenue-Gallaudet University station between Union Station and the Rhode Island Avenue station.
Though we think this might be an error in WMATA’s detailed press release on the NewYoFla opening, it appears that the region’s transit agency doesn’t know how often trains will service the station during peak periods. Please note the odd question mark.
From WMATA:
With the new station opening and Red Line service operating every 2 ? minutes during the weekday peak periods in the downtown core, Metro is working to ensure that train operations on the Red Line will be as smooth as possible.
