    Yes. I often would be waiting for the train completely alone. It was so eerie. I would be so relieved when the train arrived.

    Excellent video!!! From a Metro contractor, hats off! I applaud your attention to detail describing the station area amenities, including those beyond the fare gates! This area often gets overlooked. Please keep making these videos, I am subscribed!

    What you didn't mention here is that there are a pair of pedestrian bridges within walking distance from the station. They lead to some businesses and more neighbourhoods in that area.

    Forest Glen and Wheaton are both very interesting stations to say the least especially when it comes to their design and architecture as you pointed out in your video.

    After the Q1,2, and 4 Metrobuses that go from Shady Grove and Rockville to Silver Spring Metro Station stop at Wheaton Metro Station, do the Q1,2, and 4 Metrobuses that go from Shady Grove and Rockville to Silver Spring Metro Station go on Georgia Avenue past Forest Glen Metro Station?

      the silver spring turns ended a few years ago but yah i've heard rumblings about them potentially returning in the not so distant future. Honestly, those particular ones I don't mind much because very few people use this station along with Wheaton and Glenmont compared to the rest of the Red Line from Silver Spring to Shady Grove. All the other turnbacks that have been done in the past yah I absolutely despise since they affect so many and cut off some of the most significant areas
