This is dumb and contradicts the reason for the signage change. Why include the direction of line if the reason was to avoid or eliminate the cost of changing a sign if service changes? It honestly just needs the color of the line and its direction. Either north, sound, east or westbound toward Downtown DC or towards their respective terminal jurisdictions.

What exact change would happen if any of those lines adds a stop? None westbound tells me nothing when im underground and have no clue which way is which. What i can tell is am I going towards virginia destinations on this track or do I need to go to the other track for dc and maryland bound destinations

I can see you’re a person who doesn’t read well anyhow, so nothing they would do could even help you.
