I then asked if the trains would be running for each game. Last season they only went to the stadium for 7:05 PM starts. Would Metrolink be expanding their service for games that started at different times. Saturday and Sunday day games, Saturday 6:05 PM starts and some midweek games cut into the total number of available train trips during the debut season of this affordable, environmental and just plain fun method of transportation to the games. She did not know but offered to call and ask. She promptly dialed up a landline and was speaking with some apparent higher-up somewhere. Her answer: Metrolink is trying to work out the logistics. They want to have trains for each Angels home game. No promises of such an upgrade, but the organizational will is now reported to be there. Good News.
An aside, we also took in a movie for Valentine's Day and saw Safe House and it was awesome. We were going to see The Artist but were fifteen minutes late to the ArcLight and had to settle for Denzel. Missus Halofan said most men would have been thrilled with plans changing like that. Good News!

For me
This is the best news I’ve heard (post-Pujols of course) this offseason.
Glad to hear they are considering the prospect of having train service to more than just 7:05 weekday games. I know if they had train service to those 12:35 getaway day games, I’d be at the ballpark more often.
Thanks for the update Rev!

The more trains...
The merrier… Makes games much more accessible to the LA market (especially DTown). It’d be nice to see Arte and Metrolink team up and really promote this service in the Immediate LA area. I doubt most people who are currently not big Halo fans living in LA even know about this service. If we are trying to steal market share from the doyers this is a great tool that should be better promoted/utilized…
All Aboard to the Big A!

EXTRA! EXTRA!
Albert Pujols forces change to train schedule.
And Rev. This Landline that you so speak of. Will it do to cellular service, as to what the television did to the radio?
