4 Metro stations to stay open late for final World Series watch party

Four Metro stations will stay open late for the final World Series watch party at Nationals Park, Metro announced Wednesday.

The four Metro stations staying open late are located near Nats Park and other major watch parties in D.C. Metro said the stations will stay open for one additional hour after the end of the final game, and trains will continue running until all riders have been accommodated.

The stations are:

  • Navy Yard-Ballpark (both entrances open)
  • Waterfront
  • L’Enfant Plaza (enter at Seventh and D streets SW or Seventh and Maryland Ave SW only)
  • Gallery Place–Chinatown (enter at Seventh and F streets NW or Seventh and H streets NW only)

All other stations will be exit-only after 11:30 p.m., which is Metro’s regular closing time.

The extra hours are sponsored by Pepco, Metro said. In addition, Metro said it has cleared all track work Wednesday night “to provide the best service possible.”

The Game 7 watch party at Nats park is sold out, according to the team. Since being made available Monday, all 36,000 free tickets for the watch party have been claimed.

There is also a watch party at The Wharf in Southwest D.C., and the Wizards will broadcast the end of the game on the scoreboard at Capital One Arena following the end of their home-opener Wednesday night, the team announced.

Amtrak work in October to cause ‘significant’ service disruption into DC from the south

For a nine-day period in October, Amtrak will perform critical upgrades at the First Street Tunnel in D.C., meaning significant service reductions and train cancellations for those traveling between D.C. and points south, the passenger rail company said Monday. The outage will begin after the close of service Oct. 16 and wrap up by the time service resumes Oct. 26. According to Amtrak, the work consists of replacing aging track components to improve reliability along the Northeast Corridor and into the southeast. “The existing switches and crossovers are beyond their service life, requiring a 10-mph speed restriction that impacts operations,” Amtrak said in a news release.
