Reply to comment by 13toros13 in The Silver Line to Dulles is a bigger deal than I thought it would be by MrMoustachio55

You’re ignoring the trains in front of the hypothetical express train. It’s not possible without new tracks unfortunately. WMATA did a study on doing it with existing infrastructure, and it saves 6 minutes. Huge oversight IMO, it would have been worth the cost.

Agreed. I’d even wonder if fewer trains could make it work. I know that’s not ideal, but it feels worth it if you do like Dulles, one of the Restons, Tysons, East Falls Church, Rosslyn. Probably not possible after that with the blue and orange lines. Someone other than WMATA should math this.
