Currently, we do not know when we will add more service. Metrolink is monitoring ridership levels. We continue to assess ridership demands as we consider future schedule changes.
Not at this time. However, there may be additional TRANSporter buses added in the future.
Metrolink considered several options to increase service levels on the Antelope Valley Line. Due to limitations on the number of locomotives, train engineers and conductors, and the addition of nine new trains for midday and late-night service, the train with the lowest early-morning ridership needed to be removed from service. However, train 202’s schedule was adjusted nearly 30 minutes earlier to lessen the impact for customers who use train 200.
Metrolink Security will be adding armed security guards to each out the last three trains on the Antelope Valley Line. In addition, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Metrolink Bureau will provide additional resources to support extended coverage and response.
Due to limitations of train engineers and conductors, and the addition of six more weekend trains, we could not extend the last train to Lancaster.
