Orange Line trains will operate as follows:
On Saturday: Trains will operate at regular intervals (every 12 minutes) between Vienna & Stadium-Armory. However, due to a work zone at Minnesota Ave & Deanwood stations, every other Orange Line train will operate between Vienna & Stadium-Armory only. As a result, passengers traveling to or from the following five stations may experience a longer wait for a train: Minnesota Ave, Deanwood, Cheverly, Landover, New Carrollton.
On Sunday: Trains will run every 20 minutes. (Normal Sunday service is every 15 minutes.)
Work Performed: The multi-month effort to rebuild the deteriorating platforms at Minnesota Ave and Deanwood stations will continue. In addition, crews will perform track maintenance, including fastener replacement and third-rail insulator renewal.
Blue Line Regular service (no scheduled work)
Yellow Line Regular service between Huntington & Mt Vernon Sq
Yellow Line trains will operate to/from Mt Vernon Sq, rather than Fort Totten. If you are traveling to or from a station north of Mt Vernon Sq, use a Green Line train to complete your trip.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
