Trinity Railway Express forced to tweak its schedule

The Trinity Railway Express announced earlier this month that trains from Fort Worth to Dallas would be faster, and riders who didn’t get to the station early could be left behind.

Turns out TRE had trouble keeping up with its own schedule.

The commuter rail line is adopting a new timetable effective Monday that tweaks departure times on nine trains, and eliminates a late-night route. The times are still faster than previous TRE service — from Fort Worth to Dallas in 56-61 minutes — and riders are still encouraged to get to the stations early.

Train employees began announcing the new schedule Thursday to TRE riders, some of whom had complained earlier this month about missing bus and light rail connections.

Check out the new schedule.

On the other hand, for most of us commuting from Fort Worth to Centreport it means an even faster commute since the wait times for bus connections are shortened.
For example, those on the 7:30 train from Richland Hills currently have to wait 13 minutes for the bus at Centreport. That goes down to a 3 minute wait on Monday.
We're also getting back the 7:26 evening train to Fort Worth.
Now...if we could only get some kind of permanent service on Sunday!

I need two lists of the ten best model train related websites, one for
each of two categories. First is the ten best reference sites, with
freely available information about building model railways,
maintaining them, how to choose the right components, sample layouts,
etc.

The second is the ten best websites for buying model train equipment.
These should be based not only on good prices but on good selection
and a good customer service record.
