Because they run on the Inner Loop too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong but only the Pink Line would be affected. The Green Line doesn't run on the Wells-Van Buren leg of the loop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Green Line doesn't run on the Wells-Van Buren leg of the loop It doesn't, but the alert didn't say where the work was being done, only that the Orange Line was going on the Brown Line loop direction.. If the southbound track on Wabash were affected, so would the Green Line. That's why my guess about where the work was being done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusHunter Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 They got some problems with forest pk bound blue line trains right now. They have 5 trains stacked between logan and addison. The train at logan had an electrical smell. They say that's a brake issue. The titan signs say that trains are moving after a problem with a train at jeff. I think they are still having trouble with that same train. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What seems crazy is that they are providing shuttle bus service between Roosevelt and 35/IIT-Bronzeville when those customers could easily just transfer to the rerouted Red Line and ride to 35th. You could do a much shorter bus shuttle between the 35th Red and GReen Line stations with less buses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could do a much shorter bus shuttle between the 35th Red and GReen Line stations with less buses. But that's what they have been consistently providing. Maybe the theory is that someone from 63rd wants to get to somewhere further north or then west on the Green Line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the Roosevelt to 35th/IIT= Bronzeville has been consistent over weekends, a rare opportunity to lessen the shuttles and be more cost effective exists this weekend because the Red Line trains are being rerouted over the Loop elevated southbound. However, I suppose NB travelers would have a hike walking from the subway station up to the elevated platform at Roosevelt even with escalators in place/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
