Random Addition[edit]

Possibly add that the Orange Line is affectionally called the "Orange Crush", punning the fact the Orange line is overcrowed on weekdays.

A Google search does turn up the term, so your call. SchuminWeb (Talk) 03:00, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Let's go for it. :) :Zidel333 00:13, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is 2023. I think it should be added now in the History section, mentioning that the "Orange Crush" phenomenon ended when the Silver Line opened (I was gonna add a new section on talk, but then I saw this) Fastfoodfanatic (talk) 13:11, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Couple passing suggestions[edit]

Got a couple suggestions for the article before the reviewer starts, since I have experience in the area. Racepacket, you might want to expand the lead with some history details. Also you might want to source the 2009 Boardings. You might want to add platform design and other stuff (accessibility, ticket machines, etc) to the table.Mitch32^{(Erie Railroad Information Hog)} 15:33, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also, you might want to move the future section above the station listing.Mitch32^{(Erie Railroad Information Hog)} 15:43, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The 2009 Boardings are sourced to fn 19. If the table is a problem, I have no objection to removing it. Each station on the line has its own article describing the station's details. Racepacket (talk) 18:17, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Problem? I think the table is too small. I think you need to expand it a bit more.Mitch32^{(Erie Railroad Information Hog)} 02:17, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Orange Line (Washington Metro) → Orange line (Washington Metro) – Lowercase the word “line” per WP:NCCAPS. The word “line is a generic descriptor. 2600:1700:1960:F100:A882:B52C:C11A:62E9 (talk) 02:13, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
