MetroReasons<p>Hm. <br><a href="https://thepit.social/tags/WMATA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WMATA</span></a></p>
MetroReasons<p>In this case, "door problem" is that the operator reported the train's doors were opened (whether manually or via automation) on the wrong side of the train. <a href="https://thepit.social/tags/WMATA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WMATA</span></a></p>
MetroReasons<p>GR/Greenbelt train 523 @ College Park is back on the move. A supervisor inspected the trackbed around the train and verified that nobody fell out of the train. The operator is now taking the train to Greenbelt yard, out of service. Single-tracking is concluding. <a href="https://thepit.social/tags/WMATA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WMATA</span></a></p>
MetroReasons<p>GR/Greenbelt train 523 is now offloading @ College Park. Train 525 holding behind will be single-tracking to Greenbelt via the opposite track.</p><p><a href="https://thepit.social/tags/WMATA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WMATA</span></a></p>
