Trinity Metro Service Update: Operating Services for Sunday

  • Customer Service is available today until 5 p.m. for transportation assistance and the most current service information.

Trinity Metro Service Advisory – Weather Impacts

 

Date: Saturday, January 24, 2026

Trinity Metro Service Advisory – Weather Impacts

Inclement weather is beginning to impact and delay Trinity Metro services and is expected to continue affecting operations now and for the foreseeable future. Customers should plan ahead and anticipate service delays.

Current service impacts include:

  • TEXRail is operating on an hourly service schedule.
  • Trinity Metro Bus: Some routes have transitioned to Ice Routes due to roadway conditions.
  • Trinity Metro On-Demand and Paratransit services are operating on a normal schedule at this time.

Trinity Metro teams are closely monitoring weather and road conditions and will continue to adjust service as conditions change, with the safety of our customers and team members as our top priority.

Customers who require assistance may contact Trinity Metro Customer Support at 817.215.8600 until 8 p.m. this evening and on Sunday 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. 

Before Heading Out: 

  • Stay informed by visiting RideTrinityMetro.org/Weather, monitoring Trinity Metro Alerts, GoPass alerts, and Trinity Metro social media channels for the most up-to-date service information.
  • Allow extra time and plan for possible delays 
  • Watch for temporary stop changes and detours 
  • Use caution on platforms, sidewalks, and at stops—surfaces may be slippery 
  • Wear clothing that is appropriate for the weather conditions. 

Winter Weather Preparedness

Trinity Metro is actively preparing for the potential impacts of an upcoming winter storm in Fort Worth and North Texas, with safety remaining the agency’s top priority for customers and team members.

Icy and snowy conditions can affect transit operations in different ways across Trinity Metro’s system. During winter weather, TEXRail and Trinity Railway Express (TRE) trains, as well as buses and On-Demand services, may operate at reduced speeds, which can result in delays. Bus routes may also experience detours or temporary stop closures based on street conditions. In more severe conditions, certain services — including rail, buses, or on-demand services — may be reduced or temporarily suspended until conditions improve.

“Our teams are closely monitoring weather conditions and preparing our system so we can continue providing service as safely as possible,” said Reed Lanham, chief operating officer of Trinity Metro. “While there are no plans at this time to reduce service, safety for our customers and team members will always guide our decisions if conditions worsen.”

Trinity Metro encourages customers to plan ahead by allowing extra travel time, wearing appropriate clothing for winter conditions, and checking for service updates before heading out.

How Trinity Metro will share updates
As conditions change, Trinity Metro will communicate service impacts and recovery updates through multiple channels:

  • Rider Alerts via email and text for subscribed customers
  • RideTrinityMetro.org/Weather, the agency’s weather and alerts page
  • GoPass app, where customers can view service alerts and trip information
  • Social media on X at @TrinityMetro
  • Customer Service, which can assist with trip planning and service information (817-215-8600)

“If service adjustments become necessary — such as reduced frequency, early service endings, or temporary suspensions — we will communicate those changes as information becomes available,” Lanham said. “As conditions improve, we’ll also provide updates as services begin returning to normal.”

Customers are encouraged to visit RideTrinityMetro.org/Weather or use the GoPass app for the latest information throughout the storm.

Additional TEXRail Service Scheduled for Saturday

(FORT WORTH, TEXAS) Dec. 18, 2025 — Due to anticipated heavy holiday-related ridership this weekend, Trinity Metro TEXRail will operate three additional westbound trains from Grapevine/Main Street Station to Fort Worth T&P Station on Saturday evening, Dec. 20, 2025.
 
More than 8,000 rides were recorded on TEXRail during its regular operation on the previous Saturday (Dec. 13).

  • New train at 8:20 p.m.

Trinity Metro is monitoring conditions and actively planning for winter weather predicted to arrive in North Texas later this week.

As always, we will do our best to keep as many transportation services operating as long as it is safe to do so. Operations supervisors will try to follow regular routes when possible, but icy or snowy conditions may affect some areas while others remain clear. We will actively monitor conditions and determine when detours are necessary. These will be posted to the Trinity Metro website as soon as confirmed.

In addition, Trinity Metro TEXRail and Trinity Railway Express will employ rail switch heaters along rail corridors to prevent tracks from freezing. Passengers may notice flames emitting from the tracks, but this is not cause for alarm and is well controlled.

Please stay connected with Trinity Metro for updates. You may follow us on our social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, X and Nextdoor) or sign up to receive alerts via email or SMS at https://ridetrinitymetro.org/connectwithus/. For questions about specific routes, riders may call Customer Support and Solutions at 817-215-8600.

 

If the determination is made to operate as a “Severe Winter Weather” day, all Trinity Metro fixed route bus service will run on a Saturday schedule. Once the decision is made, the services will stay on Saturday schedule for the remainder of the day.

Note that the following routes do not have normal Saturday service, Burnett Plaza Lunch Line, Express Routes 61, 63, 65. These routes will not operate during Severe Winter Weather.

All normal Saturday services will operate as scheduled with the exception of Molly the Trolley, which will not operate.

ROUTING/DETOURS

To the greatest extent possible, operations will follow regular routes. It is not unusual for some portions of the service area to experience icy conditions while others are clear. Operations supervisors will survey the situation and determine if it is safe to use regular routing. However, there are many segments of routes that may be considered too hazardous to traverse in icy conditions and staff have proactively worked out detours to avoid them. Most hazards involve steep slopes and bridges. However, other hazards may include areas that remain shaded thus slowing the ice melt, narrow residential streets with on-street parking, or even shallow slopes with stops where there is insufficient traction to overcome both gravity and inertia. The public will be encouraged to call Customer Support & Solutions to confirm if their route is on detour.

 

Trinity Metro TEXRail service disruption on Sunday, Jan. 19

Trinity Metro TEXRail will have a partial service disruption on Sunday, Jan. 19, because of work being done for DART’s Silver Line project.

TEXRail trains emblazoned with new names

To generate some fun customer engagement, Trinity Metro held a train-naming contest to give an individual identity to each of TEXRail’s trains. Since 2019, only one TEXRail train has had its own identity: Spike, which was the last of the eight trains to be delivered.

The competition drew an amazing response with more than 1,000 suggestions. Now each of the TEXRail trains has a new name to complete the fleet. Thanks to the community for offering up a great variety of identities. Spike will keep his name, and now we’ve got Zippy, Miles, Ranger, Bluebonnet, Panther, Maverick and Vaquero.

Congratulations to our winners! Thank you for participating in our contest and helping us name the trains. 

 

 

 

TEXRail resumes regular service

Earlier this week, Trinity Metro TEXRail suspended service to perform scheduled maintenance on the tracks of the commuter rail line traveling between downtown Fort Worth and DFW International Airport.  

Customers who live or work around the stations or tracks may have noticed increased activity as preventive rail grinding was completed. Rail grinding is a maintenance strategy aimed at reducing rail wear while improving the stability and function of the trains. Trinity Metro TEXRail employees completed the scheduled maintenance on time, and regular TEXRail service resumed as planned on Wednesday, Nov. 15, 2023.  

Trinity Metro is committed to maintaining an outstanding and safe customer experience and appreciates our customers’ patience during this vital process. Except for scheduled maintenance, Trinity Metro TEXRail operates seven days a week, year-round.
