Sand Box John: I'd love to see that. Even if they're limited-distance trains (such as Mt. Vernon - RR Nat Airport) the more throughput in the City Center, the better.
It could be taken further then that. Run 1/2 of the Red line trains between Shady Grove and Glenmont, split the other 1/2 into 1/4 and run one of the 1/4 between Glenmont and Farragut North and the other 1/4 between Shady Grove and New York Avenue, use the dispatch and receiving track in Brentwood Yard as relay pocket track. Terminate all Silver line and 1/3 of Orange line trains in D&G junction.
