Significant changes are coming to Metrorail beginning Sunday, June 22. The rail system is adding longer weekend hours and more frequent service on the Red and Silver Lines during peak hours and also adding a new Silver Line service.

Beginning Monday morning, Red Line trains will be more frequent, running every four minutes, compared with five minutes now during weekday rush periods, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority announced in a statement.

Metrorail riders will have additional service on the Silver Line, which will now operate with two lines. … Half of the trains will travel between Ashburn and Downtown Largo, and the other half will run between Ashburn and New Carrollton. The Stadium-Armory station, which serves the Orange, Blue and Silver Lines, will be the transfer station for Silver Line trains if you need to go to New Carrollton or Downtown Largo.

Also, during peak rush hours on weekdays, additional Silver Line trains will run from Wiehle-Reston East to New Carrollton in the morning and from Stadium-Armory to Wiehle-Reston East in the afternoon.
