UPDATE: "Ballston. All station escalators and elevators have returned to service." A complete tweet. Hooray!

Today the escalator bug has apparently hit Ballston, according to this cryptic WMATA tweet:
"No Line: Disruption at Ballston. All of the station's escalators and elevators are out of service. Shuttle bus service has been requ.."

Well, I did inform Metro about their excessively lengthy tweets and got this response:
"Thx. :)"
"No Line" means no particular color ("line") of train is affected in that announcement. They tend to only use that when something is wrong at a station but the trains are moving as normal. Just cause no one could get in or out of Ballston or Wheaton doesn't mean the trains were broken.
Thanks for the comment.
