This weekend isn’t looking so good for Red Line riders, with trains running every 9-18 minutes and single tracking between Van Ness and Friendship Heights.

But things are looking a lot better for those who rely on the Green Line, because for the first time in at least three weeks it’s running on its regular weekend schedule. The Orange and Silver lines are also running on time.

But we’re still in the throes of a massive Blue and Yellow Line partial shutdown, so expect delays if you’re taking those lines.

Here’s more from WMATA:
