The potential new Metro line(s) would connect at a lower level than the rest of Union Station (along with potential high speed rail). There will be many options for which line(s) go here, and WMATA does not need to identify the exact locations yet for this plan to move forward.

Additional boarding locations for MARC/VRE, along with the improved platforms and track geometry will drastically reduce dwell time for commuter rail. This will free up capacity for MARC trains to continue South of Union Station.

This vision for Union Station is just as much about the expanded commuter rail capacity as the improved intercity bus & train infrastructure. While Amtrak will likely still require passengers to enter through the South concourse, MARC/VRE passengers will be more evenly distributed along the platforms and through the station.
