A month before the opening the Northgate Link extension, Sound Transit is running full simulated service on the segment. Now, all Link trains continue without riders from University of Washington Station to Northgate.
During peak service hours, trains will run every eight minutes in each direction along the elevated tracks. Instead of using both tracks to board trains, riders will board at the southbound track only and the northbound track will become drop-off only. Trains won't slow down to switch tracks just south of UW.
In addition to the train testing, Sound Transit is preparing for major changes in line names. In October, Link will become the 1 Line, Tacoma Link will become the T Line, Sounder South and Sounder North will become the S and N lines, respectively. When East Link opens in 2023, it will operate as the 2 Line.
