6/6 Final Silver Line stations
-I found bike-friendly access to Dulles Airport Station (after surviving Old Ox Rd's 45 mph traffic gauntlet): cut thru Garage 1, use elevators
-Loudoun Gateway Station: parking garage, station, nothing more
-Ashburn station means I made it!

5/6 My Silver Line bike adventure headed into Phase 2 stations
-Herndon Station, upgraded from a bus park & ride
-seems so recent that there was barely anything here
-Innovation Center, surrounded by new housing & offices
-this is a paved sidepath, well, under all of the debris

3/6 More Silver Line adventure pics
-The scale of this mural at the Boro by (Instagram: jessieandkatey) is what gets me

2/6 My Silver Line adventure took me into Tysons
-Tysons station: in the middle of shiny skyscrapers popping up everywhere
-Greensboro station has some nice murals nearby, but it is sandwiched between like 1,000 lanes (slight hyperbole) of noisy & speeding traffic (truth)

2/2 Dulles Airport station on the Silver Line was easy to access, happy I can now use it when I visit
-waiting for the train

After transferring to a bus & then walking, it was cool to see kids bike/walk/rolling to the local school in my childhood neighborhood

Another specialised #Helpline: this time for 55+y.o in UK. who need someone to talk whether because of #loneliness or for other reasons. I hadnæ previously reälised that #TheSilverLine was originally trialled in #Manchester & #IOM prior to going national. These days it is a part of #AgeUK.

Herewith the link to the about page on the #SilverLine dedicated website.

Finally made it to Ashburn at the end of the new #SilverLine, just did it by bike 🚴🏽‍♂️ #cycling #bikedc

Riding the #wmata #SilverLine from Ashburn to DC today. Took the 331 bus from One Loudoun to Ashburn Station. @wmata .

I rode the new #WAMTA #SilverLine from Metro Center to Dulles Airport and it was glorious!

At rush hour, this train will speed past the slow highway traffic.

It did add more to the already exceptionally long walk through Dulles Airport itself... but the train was great.

Saturdays are for family #SilverLine transit adventures to Dulles Airport and back 🚇

Does anyone know why there’s a stub track at Herndon on the #wmata #SilverLine ?

The WMATA #SilverLine Extension to Washington #Dulles Int'l Airport (IAD) is finally open! Efficient mass transit makes #airports more accessible. We're investigating this issue for NASEM/TRB with ACRP #research project 10-33 on the future of #airport ground access. ✈️↔️🦼🚲🚕🚌🚃🚠🚈🚄⛴🚁 #airtravel #avgeek #aviation #engineering #infrastructure #mobility #transportation

There's a new way to get to Washington's Dulles airport.

The #SilverLine isn't only good for travelers, it's also attractive to budget airlines. https://bit.ly/3Oage7s
