I am not from Washington, so I don't the pros and cons of the idea...
What would be the best way to take Metro to Washington...
1. Some kind of Street Running i.e. like Sheffield Trams and Manchester Metrolink
2. An extension of the present line from South Hylton to the Leamside Line, rejoining the Metro system at Pelaw Junction or
3. Fully re-opening The Leamside, with the line being shared at it's Northern End with Network Rail
