Metra Milwaukee North to add new weekend trains

In response to increased ridership, Metra is adding new trains on the weekends to the Milwaukee North line. Beginning Memorial Day weekend, Volozens who wish to make the trek downtown will now have two additional inbound and outbound options on Saturdays, and one additional inbound and outbound option on Sundays. These trains also arrive downtown about 7 minutes sooner because they do not make every stop. This is good because the weekend trains are notoriously late due to passenger loading. Trains will not stop at Ingleside and Long Lake, but they do stop at Round Lake and Grayslake, in addition to Fox Lake where the train originates.
