Route 23 temporary schedule
Beginning Monday, Feb. 27, Trinity Metro’s Route 23 TCC Northeast Campus/TRE will begin operating on a temporary schedule to align with the short-term change to the Trinity Railway Express (TRE) schedule.
TRE recently adjusted schedules to accommodate construction of the future Trinity Lakes Station in Fort Worth just east of Loop 820 and north of Trinity Boulevard. The new station location is between the current TRE Richland Hills and Bell stations.
The temporary schedules for both Route 23 and TRE are expected to remain in effect for approximately six months.
Celebrating 4 years of TEXRail
(FORT WORTH, TEXAS) Jan. 4, 2023 – TEXRail will be celebrating its fourth anniversary on Tuesday, Jan. 10, and customers can join in the fun with free rides on the commuter rail line – plus enjoy fun events and a new schedule enhancement. The free rides begin Tuesday, Jan. 10 and run through Monday, Jan. 16, on TEXRail and also on ZIPZONE rides that connect to a TEXRail station.
To commemorate TEXRail’s anniversary, Trinity Metro staff will hand out giveaways during the peak commuting time from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Tuesday at Fort Worth Central Station, North Richland Hills/Iron Horse Station and Grapevine/Main Street Station. Passengers have the opportunity to collect a goody bag and enjoy some musical entertainment before or after their trip.
“This is a tremendous time to come out and ride the rails,” said President and CEO Richard Andreski. “TEXRail ridership is growing every month, and this is the perfect time for anyone who hasn’t ridden yet to come out and give it a try. With free rides throughout the Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend, everyone will have a full week to ride TEXRail for free.”
Schedule improvement
Beginning Jan. 10, TEXRail will adjust the 7:10 p.m. train from DFW Airport Terminal B Station so that it runs the full route back to Fort Worth T&P Station. Currently, it ends at Mercantile Center Station.
“Our customers have been asking for this change, and we’re delighted to make it happen,” said Vice President of Rail Jon-Erik “AJ” Arjanen. “We listened to their feedback, and we know this will be a great adjustment to help passengers trying to get back to Fort Worth.”
