Safety commission officials said they found discrepancies between Metro mechanics’ actions in putting 7000 series cars back into service and what Metro’s engineers say is safe.
Metro’s plan to bring back shorter train wait times by returning all of its suspended 7000 series rail cars to service has been paused while Metro’s regulator investigates whether transit workers were following the agency’s own engineering department’s safety recommendations.
“We communicated back that they couldn’t make any more changes,” Smith said on Sunday. “The overall issue could be a significant one potentially.” Metro spokeswoman Kristie Swink Benson cited “inaccuracies” with the safety commission’s statements but did not provide additional details.“We will have more to say on this matter tomorrow when we can transparently correct numerous inaccuracies for the record,” she said Sunday in a statement.
In late October, both sides reached an agreement allowing Metro unlimited use of its newest 7000-series cars that had been delivered over the past five years, or about 340 of the 748 cars. The transit agency was limited to using up to 80 older 7000-series
