Silver Line extension to open Nov. 15 in time for Thanksgiving travel, Metro says
Metro had publicly pledged to open the line in time for Thanksgiving holiday travel, a goal that will be accomplished after a compromise between Metro and its regulator. The Washington Metrorail Safety Commission last week allowed Metro to use more of its 7000-series trains, which had been ordered out of service for more than a year because of a wheel defect found in several cars during a federal derailment investigation.
Metro General Manager Randy Clarke said Thursday he hoped to announce an opening date this week, contingent upon Metro receiving accreditations from the safety commission to open the line. He said Metro workers were finishing minor tasks last week, such as installing missing signs. “We’re very focused on opening the line for Thanksgiving holiday travel,” Clarke said Thursday during a news conference after the Metro board meeting. “We know how important that is.”
