@ Ser AdN:Regarding Lorton proper: I see what you're saying, but I still think Lorton needs the stations more than Gunston

True. But Lorton itself is suburban and done. It will be very hard to increase density there. I say this with regret because I'd love a metro station next door.

However, we're only talking here about an imaginary extension of the Yellow Line. I'd extend the Blue Line not along the railroad tracks, like most, but along the Franconia-Springfield Parkway (VA-7900, almost VA-289), the Fairfax County Parkway (VA-286, old VA-7100) to VA-123, GMU, Fairfax City and the (extended) Orange Line at Oakton.

That way, Lorton would be nicely squeezed between the extended Yellow and Blue Lines, and very accessible through short bus routes (much better than the very circuitous 305 and 371).
