Orange line seems to be experiencing delays. Had a train pass express at ashland with at least 3 blue lights!! Looked like that train was messed up. So the follower picks us up at Ashland and goes express to kedzie. As it passed 35th/archer and western, stacks of people were waiting sb. I believe they ran back to back express' which I might have only seen one time before and I can't say that I've seen that many express' on the Orange line either. BTW the train with the blue lights was a #2600. I hear they don't run so good in the bad weather. Problems with doors etc.

I wonder if it's against policy to have 2 straight trains skip the same stop cause that's something you don't see that much.

I remember hearing something to the effect that there was single tracking somewhere between Kedzie and Pulaski due to a track issue. This is what caused the delays.

Even though its not, it just sounds funny. [insert voice, preferably Dalek] Unauthorized person on tracks! Exterminate!

On another note, the Red line seems to attract the most delays

Honestly, why not jst run shuttle buses during that time.

Honestly I am in favor of running shuttle trains between Cottage and Garfield during off peak times and during those times run all trains between Harlem and Ashland/63. Not that there is great passenger demand on either branch but more so a demand on Ashland than Cottage.. A two car shuttle works just fine

On Sunday, March 1, the Brown Line will run through the State St. subway and end at Roosevelt. There will be a Loop Shuttle Train running counter-clockwise in the Loop, and a shuttle bus that stops near the normal Brown Line stops. Brown Line trains will still operate normally between Fullerton and Kimball. Link, with image.
