There are three escalators up to the street, ALL of which were out of order. This happens... frequently. But the center escalator was blocked off. It wasn't missing any stairs and no one was working on it, yet I saw two Metro employees walk past the gates and leave them closed, leaving hundreds of people to walk up one escalator and share one with the people going down. Five minutes to make a 30 second trip.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689506078297112665.post-35061560336706135212010-06-16T10:26:07.760-04:002010-06-16T10:26:07.760-04:00all three mezz-street were out yesterday morning. ...all three mezz-street were out yesterday morning. yesterday PM 2/3 were back in service.Unsuck DC Metrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02752056661298716293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689506078297112665.post-38078436536332432452010-06-16T10:22:37.128-04:002010-06-16T10:22:37.128-04:00According to WMATA, only one escalator is out of s...According to WMATA, only one escalator is out of service at Federal Center SW.

Literally 5-10 people deep along the entire length. Train-o-meter showed a 6 car train coming in 5 minutes, a no-passenger train coming in 8, and another 6 car train not coming for another 12 minutes. *TOTALLY* unacceptable during rush hour! <br /><br />All 6 cars of the first train were completely packed to the brim. Luckily one person got off by my door and I was able to get on, since the only others nearby were large families who couldn't get on anyway.<br /><br />On the way to Dupont, we stopped twice for ~4 minutes with no explanation. Pulling into the station, it was just as packed as Woodley. Operator threatened to offload the train before he even tried closing the doors.<br /><br />Getting into Farragut, the station was empty. Odd. Had an uneventful ride from Metro Ctr to Federal Center SW. Got through the fare gates, and *all three* escalators to the street weren't working.
