People coming to DC: it's possible the Red Line will still be broken this weekend. Yes, really.

I wish that were not so, but be prepared for some very, very crowded trains.

1. Oh no.....

this won't be good. That was our main ride.

2. That's only a worst-case. There are signalling problems and the scheduled track work seems to have

hit a snag. My buddy who works for WMATA said they're "hopeful" it will be all fixed by the weekend, but definitely by Monday.

If you're coming in from the west side of things, the 30-series buses go the same places the Red Line does, and are cheaper.

3. Thanks.

We're coming into Union Station Saturday from Charlotte and were planning to take the Red Line to Bethesda Station to catch our shuttle to the hotel.

We're coming from FL, GA and NC so wish us luck.

4. Good luck! If by chance the Red Line is misbehaving, catch a Circulator bus downtown and then a 32

to Friendship Heights, and from there a 34 to Bethesda. Yeah, I know. But hopefully it will all be working. Best of luck and have fun in DC! Don't forget to get out into the neighborhoods at some point!

5. Will do.
