To do this WMATA will have to reduce Orange line service to provide a long enough time gap to skip the station between West Falls Church and Rosslyn. (Based on pre pandemic service levels.)

A better solution would be the return to automatic operation allowing shorter station dwell times, and run trains at the maximum civil speed limit between Ashburn and Ballston. All of the trackage along the Greenway, Access Road, Connector Road and I-66 has a civil speed limit of 75 MPH.
