WASHINGTON (AP) — Metro says it will test additional eight-car trains on certain lines next week as it gears up for Inauguration Day.
Officials say Metro typically uses six to eight-car trains on the red, orange and green lines.
On Monday and Tuesday, Metro will test extra eight-car trains during morning and afternoon rush hour on the blue and orange lines. Eight-car trains also will be used on those lines during off-peak hours.
The same process will occur Wednesday and Thursday on the red line, with additional eight-car trains running during peak times.
In addition, all trains will stop at the end of each station platform. Officials say riders should move to the far end of the platform to board.
