The Red Line is running slow this weekend.

If you’re taking Metro this weekend, you may want to avoid the Red Line, because it’s running slow … again. Red Line trains are running every 18 minutes, with additional trains every 9-10 minutes between Farragut North and Glenmont during select hours. The Orange, Silver, and Green lines are running on their regular weekend schedules.

And of course, the Blue and Yellow lines are still partially shut down…so add a bit of time to your travels if you’re taking those lines. But the silver lining (hopefully) is that there’s only three weekends left before the six station closures are slated to end.
