Fort Worth, TX Star-Telegram, 6/4/16:

Trinity Railway Express may expand Dallas-Fort Worth service


If there has been one constant complaint about the Trinity Railway Express during its 20 years, its that there arent enough trains.

The commuter rail service already offers 46 trains on a typical weekday 24 heading west toward Fort Worth, and 22 eastbound for Dallas. Also, there are special trains to events such as Dallas Mavericks and Stars games.


Here is that story.

I'm impressed with the hourly Saturday service, but yes it cries for Sunday trains as well.  Perhaps bi-hourly if ridership would be expected to be lower than Saturdays.

Glad they are expanding it. Having to wait in FTW for nearly 2 hours after the arrival of 22 was a pain.
