Metra Adds Trains For South Side Irish Parade Day

CHICAGO, IL - To accommodate the expected increase in ridership on the Rock Island Line on the day of the South Side Irish Parade, Metra has decided to add more trains. There will be several more trains that will stop at the stations in Beverly Hills and Morgan Park on Sunday, March 11 than normal Sundays as the rail serve has altered its schedule. See below for details on when inbound and outbound trains are scheduled to make stops in the neighborhood.

In addition to the change in schedule, Metra also says it's unlikely that bicycles will be able to be accommodated on trains that day due to the larger than normal crowds.

Alcohol has also been banned on the Rock Island trains on Sunday.
