Denver, CO Post, 5/6/16:
 

RTD says B-Line from Union Station to Westminster will open in July

Denver’s second electric commuter rail line will open July 25, Regional Transportation District officials said Thursday.

The B-Line, which will make the trip from Denver’s Union Station to the Westminster station in 11 minutes, is the second of four projects the agency opens this year with the G- and R- lines coming later in 2016.

Before we get overly excited about this one, the Westminster destination is the only other station on this line other than Union Station, a total of just 6 miles. The B line is supposed to go further (like another 35 miles) to Boulder and Longmont, but that part is not yet funded and it will compete with a new Bus Rapid Transit (Flatiron Flyer) that opened earlier this year.

When the G line opens in the Fall to Wheat Ridge, the innermost portion of both will be interlined. There are planned stations at 41st Avenue/Fox and Pecos Junction on the shared portion; however at least initially the B line won't stop at those stations while the G line will.

 

RTD's own page about the B line is here.
