Reply to comment by FrndlyNbrhdSoundGuy in Just took the MARC to D.C. today from Maryland. WOW!!! by NYVlone

As someone who lives in D.C. without a car, I really, really wish the MARC Brunswick line could facilitate a day trip from D.C. to Harper’s Ferry. But the timetables just don’t allow for that :(

Good news! There's currently a study going on right now about ways to improve the Brunswick Line, including midday, reverse peak, and weekend service! There's a survey on the website as well as an email address you can use to send in feedback about the proposals. https://www.mta.maryland.gov/marc-brunswick-study

Thank you! This would be amazing - I will go fill out the survey now. It would be amazing to just take a train out to the trails at Harper’s Ferry.

Live in Brunswick and commute to DC occasionally for work, and while the current hours serve that they don’t facilitate going into the city for cultural evening events or getting home late after happy hours. Really stoked about the potentiality for expanded hours and reverse peak service in this survey, and hope that wins priority over expanding routes. While I’d love ALL options to win out, implementing reverse service seems the lowest hanging fruit.

Ooh, thanks a bunch! Will fill this out soon, might even go to the meeting. Nice username by the way :)

What I really wish is that the Camden line ran all day like the Penn line.

CSX owns those tracks and their shipping takes priority

Honestly if they just had one train running each direction around noon that would be awesome.
