Time change will add an hour of Metro service
WASHINGTON -

Metro’s rail service will run an hour longer this weekend, when clocks fall back an hour to mark the end of daylight saving time.

Trains will follow their normal schedule and run from 7 a.m. Saturday to 3 a.m. Sunday. At 2 a.m., clocks will be turned back to 1 a.m., but the trains will stay in operation for another two hours.

“We want everyone to know that we will remain open to 3 a.m., despite the time shift to standard time,” said Jim Hughes, Metro’s managing director for operations services.
