L'Enfant Plaza Station

This station closed early on New Year's Eve before 2:00 am, but an attendent was able to have the doors unlocked. Thank you! Then we sat on one of the new 7000 series for 15 minutes... A lot of of work is still needed, perhaps just on the basic level? Planning and organization are lacking in many ways, and there should be some serious consideration into SERVICE, which will help raise revenue that may in fact pay for the long overdue maintenance that has been deferred for decades. The "Jumper Cables" seem to be a very basic repair, but continue to linger. Perhaps addressing some of the other related issues like system power distribution issues, amperage levels, systematically upgrade sections at a time so they may last another 40+ years? This is really LOW TECH stuff.

This station serves the Virginia Railway Express commuter rail system. There are also a few Amtrak trains that stop here as part of a cross - honor agreement between Amtrak and VRE, but it's not a primary stop for Amtrak. The station itself is pretty bare bones. There are automatic ticket kiosks at the middle entrance, and space along the platform to stand while you wait for the train, but no other services.

Convenient downtown. FYI - two flights of stairs to access platform from east side of 7th Street. Handicap ramp on west side of street.

It's the DC Metro. If you've experienced any other city's subways or metro you're already well aware it's the worst. If you haven't, well be prepared for missed connections and long wait times. Oh also don't expect for it to take you anywhere convenient.

They could take a lesson from their European and Scandinavia peers. Those system's run so much better and are so much cleaner...get some hints metro!
