After your win tomorrow, please push for state Metrolink funding in the next session! OCTA is a nightmare.

andy burnham is forcing me to fare evade on the metrolink this is stupendous

kid me in Sylmar yearned for electric rail (no but seriously Metrolink was a lifeline)

There’s no fooling you! This is Queens Road, where there’s now a Metrolink stop, and a key Metrolink depot now stands to the right of the picture.

Commuter rail ridership is rising quickly in Dallas and the Bay Area, according to the latest data (September).

Dallas, Boston, & Miami all have ridership that’s met pre-pandemic levels. Chicago’s Metra, Baltimore’s MARC, & LA’s Metrolink are far behind.

mad about the amount of service cuts Metrolink has done this year
November 3, 2026 at 6:46 PM
What's crazy is that SMART is now the 3rd busiest commuter/intercity line in the state, with only the Metrolink San Bernardino line (barely, like < 100 more) and Caltrain having more riders.

Manchester tram tender... or "market engagement". I swear one day I will submit a bid, just to see how far I will get with some MS Paint sketches and blurb.

And comparing the growth numbers for Leeds and Manchester I tend towards a view of the Metrolink as a relatively minor component of Manchester's overall economic revival

This isn't completely unfair, but it's important in terms of the development of regional government however you slice it. Greater Manchester Metropolitan County Council was abolished in 1986. The first Metrolink line opened in 1992 and was deliberately a cross-borough project

I would Electrify the line along the Coast for Caltrain service to Monterrey and Metrolink service to San Luis Obispo

Crane: Metrolink Trains Will Be Cut, the Surfliner Won’t Help You
Metrolink cuts facing Orange County will negatively impact commuters across the SoCal area, reducing options for transportation needs. The Pacific Surfliner cannot be assumed or relied on as a guaranteed alternative, as the problems with Metrolink reflect system structural issues with transit governance that also affect the Surfliner.

However, the Metrolink is also a pretty unsuccessful tram project when you look at how its ridership numbers compare to basically any other network of a similar size

No, this isn't really true, I don't think. The Greater Manchester stuff is very much a whole county project. Metrolink was, in many ways, the first staging post, and the first link runs from Altrincham to Bury for good reason. The GM conurbation is just really big.

#OnThisDay 12 years ago Manchester Metrolink's 9-mile Airport Line opened with 15 new stops. It opened over a year early and came in at a reasonable £368m. A tram crosses the Mersey between Barlow Moor Road and Sale Water Park: Greg Mape buff.ly/SRiW0bw
