Photo by outlandkFriend-of-DCist Angel Preble tells us about an experience she had on the Orange line this morning:
I boarded an Orange line train at Farragut West at 8:26 a.m. (I was rushing this morning, so I remember the time) headed toward Vienna. I work almost directly across from the Dunn Loring stop.
It wasn’t until we were rolling up to the East Falls Church station that the operator made an announcement that this train was “express service to Vienna,” and would not stop at Dunn Loring, and that we’d have to get out at West Falls Church and wait for the next train which was “directly behind us.” This only applied to those who had to go to the Dunn Loring station.
Angel said she had to wait about four minutes after exiting at West Falls Church before catching the next train to Dunn Loring. Asking around today, at least one other DCist staffer had a Metro train mysteriously skip a stop once, so we asked Metro about it.
