Hi Sligo!

I am currently in Maryland but will be leaving for Ohio on Wednesday (June
24).  I will be back here late next week, and will be leaving for Sierra
Leone again July 11.  I hope to meet at least some of you before I go back.

Fred.

WMATA Finance Committee Approves End of Metrorail Turnbacks at Grosvenor
Station

The Finance and Administration Committee of the Washington Metropolitan Area
Transit Authority (WMATA) voted to end turnbacks at the Grosvernor Metrorail
Station beginning in summer 2018. Currently during the peak period, only
half of the Red Line trains from the District of Columbia continue to the
line's end at Shady Grove. The other half of the cars turn around at
Grosvenor. For more than 10 years, ending the turnbacks at Grosvenor has
been a transit priority for Montgomery County. The action will become final
if approved at the WMATA Board Meeting on June 25.
