Suburban customers going to a Beverly branch station and branch riders heading to the suburbs will need to transfer at Blue Island. New timetables will be available shortly on Rock Island trains and stations. Beginning Aug. 1, Metra will modify its schedule by adding three inbound express trains and two outbound express runs during the late morning and afternoon. Customers boarding these outbound strains at a Beverly branch station needing to travel further south can make a convenient transfer at Blue Island. Metra has also added two midday outbound express trains offering service from LaSalle Street to Blue Island and stations further south with the option of flag stops at 35th Street/Lou Jones.
