Weekend Work to Temporarily Impact Brown Line Service
- Kimball-bound Brown Line trains will not stop at the Diversey station on the following dates:
- For Kimball-bound service to this station, take a Kimball-bound train to the Wellington station and transfer to a Loop-bound train back to Diversey.
- For Kimball-bound service from this station, take a Loop-bound train to Fullerton and transfer to a Kimball-bound train.
- Fullerton Station: Board Kimball-bound Brown Line trains on the Red Line side of the Howard- and Kimball-bound platform.
- This service change is due to track maintenance work to ensure that trains continue to operate safely along the Brown Line.
