sw4400 Posted October 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 10/15/16 12:41p Rail Line(s) Affected: Pink Level Of Service Interruption: Service Partially Suspended Information: Pink Line service has been temporarily suspended between Polk and the Loop due signal problems. As a result, trains are operating in one section: Between 54th/Cermak and Polk, and then to Racine (Blue Line), only, for direct connections to Blue Line train service to/from downtown. Using connecting Blue Line service: For service to downtown from Pink Line stations between 54th/Cermak and Polk, take a Pink Line train toward the Loop and stay on board until the train reaches Racine on the Blue Line, where you can transfer to continuing Blue Line service into downtown on the same platform. For service from downtown to Pink Line stations between Polk and 54th/Cermak, take a Blue Line train toward Forest Park to Racine and transfer to a Pink Line train toward 54th/Cermak from the same platform. Alternate Service: Other possible alternatives: #9 Ashland, #21 Cermak, #49 Western, #50 Damen, #52 Kedzie/California, #53 Pulaski, #54 Cicero, #60 Blue Island-26th, #82 Kimball-Homan, #94 South California and #157 Streeterville-Taylor buses, including in combination with other 'L' services, may also be good alternatives. If you take a bus to/from the Pink Line, you may also be able to connect to the same bus from stations along the Blue Line's Forest Park branch or Green Line along Lake Street.

For that to happen while operating the last trains of the night is totally a slap in the face! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, with all the hacking of computer systems lately(and I'm sure the signals are computer controlled), maybe it's related. If this is possible, CTA could have a major problem on their hands.... signals I'm sure can be manually operated while the computer systems are repaired, but it'll cause massive delays at switches and junctions, especially downtown like Tower 18.

geneking7320 Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Hi Folks; The northbound Red Line train I rode tonight was the last train to stop (northbound) at Addison this evening [ per the operator's announcement]. I forgot the run number but we arrived at Jarvis at around 9:32pm. Is CTA scared of Cub fans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot the run number but we arrived at Jarvis at around 9:32pm. Is CTA scared of Cub fans? There is an alert that I quoted below, but interestingly, it doesn't give a reason. It probably does have to do with the Cubs though. Maybe there was a police order to close Addison to disperse crowds. Also note that it says to use Belmont, but no mention of Sheridan (Belmont has higher capacity, especially with the Brown line stopping there). Length: Wednesday, November 02, 2016 - 9:03 PM to TBD Impact Level: Minor Delays, Station(s) Bypassed Full Description: Red Line trains are bypassing Addison. Use nearby Belmont station (4 blocks south) to get to/from the Red Line, instead. Allow extra travel time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pace831 Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Here's more information. Basically what I supposed is correct. It says trains aren't stopping at Sheridan either, but the alert doesn't mention that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
