Look for minor DART Rail changes November 15 DART Rail is making minor schedule changes that will improve schedule reliability. Departure times will vary by only 1-2 minutes in most cases, but all hours of operation on weekdays will be affected. Weekend service will remain unchanged. Details about changes to each trip are available in the new customer rail timetables onboard trains, at the DART Store (1401 Pacific Ave.), or at information kiosks along the rail line. DART Rail Expansion On Track DART currently serves 57,000 daily riders over its 44-mile, 34-station light rail system. The opening of Victory Station marks the start of a 49-mile DART Rail expansion to the southeast and northwest. Through 2018 DART Rail will link Pleasant Grove, South Dallas, Fair Park and Deep Ellum to the southeast with the Medical/Market Center, Love Field, northwest Dallas, Farmers Branch, Carrollton, Las Colinas, Irving and DFW Airport to the northwest. In addition, service will extend south from Ledbetter Station in South Oak Cliff to I-20 and northeast from Downtown Garland Station to Rowlett.
