If you’ve been riding Link light rail recently, you may have noticed new progression diagrams onboard trains. The updated versions are meant to complement the upcoming 1 Line extension to Lynnwood, opening on August 30, and future-proof wayfinding materials for other upcoming extensions.
The main purpose of progression diagrams is to show stops along each Link line, helping riders identify their stop and where to make a transfer, if necessary. The latest series now features both the 1 and 2 Lines — instead of just the line that particular train is serving — plus station codes.
The new progression diagrams already show the Lynnwood Link Extension, with its four new stations. Consequently, the diagrams will be at odds with service realities for the next two months, showing the new stations while trains terminate at Northgate. Along with this, the diagrams tease other future extensions.
