reel icon Did you notice more trains on the system this morning? 🚊 On Friday, June 13, we conducted the first test of four-minute headways, a key step to ensure operational readiness for future interlined service on the 1 and 2 Lines between Lynnwood City Center and International District/Chinatown stations. To conduct this test, 12 non-revenue single-car trains were slotted between 1 Line revenue service trains running a weekday peak headway of eight minutes. It’s all part of connecting more people to more places, with more trains! 🎥: @henryonboard #SoundTransit #Testing #2Line Video description: Sound Transit employee Henry reports from University of Washington Station that trains would run every four minutes for a system test as we get closer to interlining the 1 and 2 Lines.
