There are several people saying that Metro hasn't said how many Orange vs. Silver trains there will be.

The WMATA Long Range Planning Group has been briefing the Technical Analysis Group on the Regional Surface Transit Plan for a couple of years. Pdfs of the powerpoints are posted to the web. The base case they use for 2030 has 24 Red Line trains per hour, 10 Orange, 10 Silver, 6 Blue, 10 "Yellow1" (Huntingdon to Mt. Vernon Sq.), 5 "Yellow2" (Franconia-Greenbelt) and 11 Green. That's been consistent across presentations since July 2010.

That doesn't mean that WMATA won't alter the numbers based on actual ridership, but that's the best indication of their current planning.
