DART Provides Update on Silver Line

At DART's Biannual Silver Line Meeting in Addison on Wednesday, July 31, Archer Western Herzog and DART representatives shared some project updates. They reported that the eight new commuter trains have arrived and offer overhead storage, bike hooks, and large luggage compartments.

Two of the vehicles are already being tested on the track in Plano. Segment testing will begin from DFW Airport Terminal B through Cypress Water, Carrollton, Addison, and Knoll Trail the last quarter of 2024. Revenue service is slated to begin at the end of 2025 or early 2026

Some of the recent project milestones in Addison include:

• 100% completion of Midway Road rail bridge
• 100% completion of Addison Road, Quorum, and Spectrum Drive crossings
• 90% completion of Addison Station
• 95% completion of Dallas North Tollway Pedestrian Bridge 

The current proposed service plan calls for trains to run from 5am - midnight every 30 minutes during peak weekday hours and 60 minutes during all other times. The weekend schedule is still being studied but they are including the ability to adjust the schedule for special event service.
