Beginning Monday, Sept. 11, the midday express service schedule on Metra’s Rock Island Line will revert to local service, ending a yearlong pilot program that offered midday express service between Blue Island and Chicago. There are other minor adjustments to the weekday schedule; there are no changes to the weekend schedule. You can view the new outbound weekday schedule here and the new inbound weekday schedule here.
In 2016, Metra partnered with the RTA on a pilot project to provide midday express service on the Rock Island Line. The service added three inbound express trains between Blue Island and Chicago and two outbound express trains shortening travel time for suburban riders by 15 to 20 minutes. One midday express train will remain. Train 518, which departs Joliet at 2:21 p.m. and expresses from Blue Island Vermont Street to La Salle Street Station, will continue to operate. Read more.
