DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF) – DART is adding additional service in anticipation of big crowds during Saturday’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Greenville Avenue in Dallas.
From Plano, rail service will be added to Red and Orange Line trains operating between 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday to Mockingbird, Lovers Lane or Park Lane stations. From Carrollton, Farmers Branch and Dallas customers can ride the Green Line and transfer to either the Orange or Red Line in downtown Dallas. Passengers riding the TRE can transfer to the Orange or special event Red Line trains at Victory Station.
“Next to Texas-OU weekend, this is our busiest day of the year,” said Mark Ball with DART.
For riders who travel Route 502 or 583 at Lovers Lane Station, service will be interrupted until the Dash Down Greenville Run has been completed. Both routes will be detoured from Lovers Lane to serve Mockingbird Station until Greenville is re-opened to traffic. Route 502 will continue to serve Park Lane Station. Red and Orange Line trains to Lovers Lane Station will not be interrupted during the parade.
Additional routes will be temporarily detoured during the parade including 24, 76, 81, 82, 84, 428 and 521.
