I'm on travel and down in the shipyards, so I'm somewhat disconnected, but I just got a work email saying that WMATA was going to undertake a systemwide shutdown from midnight tonight until the normal 0500 system opening time on Thursday (i.e. No service Wednesday).
This is a result of yet another fire before system opening Monday, that seems to have the same root cause as the deadly Yellow Line fire last year. They are going to inspect systemwide to see if there were any other locations with problems.
Near as I can tell, this has never happened - looks like the new GM really means business, and may actually have the rudder over to get this dumpster fire of a transit organization back on track (both puns fully intended).
