Is it possible to operate a reversible track on which trains would travel southbound during the morning rush and northbound during the evening rush?
The conflicts created by using a reversible track make this an unsuitable option. The system that allows trains to cross from one track to another cannot safely accommodate a reversible configuration without an increase to travel times during rush period service. This would impact service all along the corridor. And accessible transfers at the Fullerton and Belmont stations would be eliminated, which would be problematic for seniors, customers with disabilities, and customers with baby strollers or other bulky possessions.
