L Line Effective January 14, 2018

The 5.3-mile Central Rail Line also known as the D Line opened in 1994, and is Denver’s first rail line between the I-25 & Broadway Station and the 30th & Downing Station.

L Line service • As part of the January 2018 service changes, the operation of the D Line will be separated into two lines, the D Line and the L Line. ― The Welton Street segment will operate as the L Line, as proposed in the Central Rail Line Extension Mobility Study, and will replace the D Line. ― The L Line will operate on the current D Line route between the 18th & Stout Station and the 30th & Downing Station, with all trains turning at 14th Street. ― The changes will provide better service on the two different segments, including reliability of service along Welton Street, especially in the northbound direction.

• Service frequency: Weekday, every 15 minutes (5 a.m. – 8 p.m.) every 30 minutes 8 p.m. to midnight. Weekend, every 15 minutes (8 a.m. – 8 p.m.) every 30 minutes 6 a.m. to 8 a.m., 8 p.m. to midnight.

D Line and C Line changes • The D Line will operate on its current route between the Littleton/Mineral Station and 18th & California Station, with all trains turning at 19th Street. ― With the implementation of the L Line, weekday rush-hour frequency will be reduced from approximately every 10 minutes to every 15 minutes, and train lengths will increase from 3 to 4 cars. The reduced frequency during weekday rush hours will be replaced by the increase in service on the C Line and new L Line. ― Weekday midday service to the Littleton/Mineral Station will have a combined 15-minute frequency between the C and D lines. ― Evening and late night service will be reduced, alternate service will be provided by C Line and L Line trips.

• C Line weekday rush-hour frequency will increase from every 30 minutes to every 15 minutes, and late night service will be extended similar to the E Line. The C Line will also operate on weekend and holiday evenings and late nights instead of the D Line, frequencies and hours of service on the C Line will be similar to the existing D Line.
