Eastside Transit
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 10 พ.ย. 2023
Sound Transit Link light rail and other transit on the Eastside and the Seattle area.
The initial segment of the 2 Line, aka the East Link Starter Line, opened on April 27th, 2024, and operates between South Bellevue and Redmond Technology stations. The extension to the last two Redmond stations, Marymoor Village and Downtown Redmond, will open on May 10th, 2025. The full 2 Line, which will cross Lake Washington, and connect to Seattle and Lynnwood, is expected to open in late 2025.

Sound Transit 2 Line Testing. Downtown Redmond Link Extension.
Bellevue bound test train leaving Marymoor Village Station in Redmond, WA. This extension will open on May 10th, 2025. My use of the word "testing" is just a shorthand for any pre-revenue service train activity. I believe what is actually going on in all my DRLE testing videos to date is Operators are qualifying on the new segment.

I've been watching for train testing activity, both in person and on traffic cams, and will take video of it as soon as I see it. I understand that some late night/very early morning testing has occurred.

Video taken on Wednesday, November 20th at around 5:30 PM, the day after the storm. There were no signs, electronic or otherwise, or PA announcements, saying that the 2 Line wasn't running and the station was closed. The electronic sign in the station actually repeated the inaccurate message that 2 Line trains were running every 10 minutes. A helpful Transit Security employee finally appeared a...

Checking out where the Redmond Technology Station meets the Downtown Redmond Link Extension. I asked a passing Link Operator when testing would begin on the DRLE, and he said he heard in November. I also read in a Sound Transit document testing might begin November 7th. I believe the sign in the tracks says something like "O?S de-energized beyond this point." The first yellow device on the trac...

How does the curve work from marymoor into redmond i havent seen any footage of it
You can see at about the 1:03 mark the train start to curve left. So the train doesn't go straight through the structure, it comes out left side of it, and the tracks keep curving as they go under the freeway and ramps, then straighten out.
What date in spring 2025 is the Redmond link extension will open?
They haven't announced an opening date yet. They will probably announce the date this week or next.
Are the new signs up yet?
Do you mean on the train? Yesterday in downtown Redmond I believe the train sign said out of service.
@@EastsideTransit I know, but I’m asking if they had any of the new signage up on Link trains
Very exciting
ive been checking this channel for months for this exact video!! thank you <3
I’m liking how Marymoor village is looking like so far
I wonder why the first train squeaked so much it doesn’t look like there’s a sharp curve right there
I wondered that too. It seems straight there. I'm sure they'll fix it. Are you going to go out and take some DRLE videos? If so, have you thought of any good places to shoot from?
@ Yeah I will be going up on Friday to get footage. I haven’t looked much but I just know that I want to try to get some kind of other angle for Marymoor Village, footage of trains crossing the creek in Redmond, and trains on the guideway in Downtown Redmond.
@@realquadmoo I can't wait to see the videos!
Do you think it’s every other train that goes to Downtown Redmond? If so, that means that they still use both platforms for terminating and that would be a really interesting service pattern
Did you get one with the signage?
I couldn't see very well from up there, but I'll look the next time.
That's crazy I went up yesterday (20th) and they hadn't started testing yet. Are they kicking passengers off at RTS and continuing every train all the way and is there a new platform announcement about it?
I mean it’s highly likely because the orange barrier is gone and it’s a 2 car train with its signs on.
@@Seattle-Link-fan I should’ve gone up today too like I planned 😭
For the short time I was there, yes, they were kicking passengers off, then continuing on. But, I also didn't see every train continue on to Marymoor Village and Downtown Redmond. Some, like they normally do, went no further than Redmond Tech. I'm definitely going back to get some more videos from different locations. Not sure about the announcements.
@ Alright. Thank you for the coverage!
@@EastsideTransit did trains at least have new signage on?
I can’t wait for the Urban Village to begin construction it’s gonna be amazing!!!
Thanks for the footage! It has been a treat watching this extension get constructed over the last 5 years. Cheers for 2026!
Thank you! The satellite data is still so outdated. Is it possible to get closer to the garage? It kind of seems like the 2 Line will go through it
The Link train entrance and exit into the garage are on either side of the exterior staircase that descends from the garage to the outside platform. The view of them is partially blocked. It is possible to get closer to the garage, but there is a long chain link fence I'm standing next to keeping the public back.
I swear nobody uses this entrance ever which is sad cause the art looks really good It makes sense though, the transit center is on top of the hill
Good Point. The western entrance gets all the riders. This one gets almost none.
Looks just like the VTA Light rail. I thought it was like rail
HA IT MAY LOOK SLOW BUT IT'S STILL MOVING QUICKER THAN TRAFFIC HAHAHAHAHAHA
Haha, so true!
Very very good video thanks you like 👍🤩
Excellent video my friends awesome 😮like 👍🏻 and Greeting 🙋 from Argentina New suscriptor suscribete 😊
Clearly TH-cam doesn't like my train jokes, but rest assured you, it was pretty funny.🙄😏
They opened the underpass so you can go right up by the tracks as they go under the road there
I've been thinking about places to shoot video when they start testing, and I think the 40th St underpass is a good one!
@@EastsideTransit on November 7th there's a Ballard Link Scoping Meeting at Union Station from 5-7 so I'm thinking before that I may also go out and look for test trains.
Hey just letting you know I checked and both derailers are still there today, they haven’t started testing yet.
Thank you so much for documenting this.
Thanks. I haven't been taking many videos lately. I'm waiting for Downtown Redmond Link Extension testing to begin.
Very good bus lane
4:0 in eastbound runs filmed; great
My dad works in Wilburton
Why is TH-cam recommending me this
Nice
This is an AMAZING video I did not know this was a thing!!!
Is this apart of Lynnwood link?
No this is the bridge over the Duwamish River in Tukwila.
@@chickennuggetcentral576oh didn’t realize they had them there
@@Seattle-Link-fanbeen active since the original Link opened up. Pretty neat it still works!
Could you do a timelapse from Bellevue Downtown’s upper mezzanine through the super epic window?
That's a good idea! I've been thinking of new places to shoot. Another time-lapse I want to do is of the streets around the UW triangle garage area during rush hour when classes start back up.
@@EastsideTransit yeeee
I live in Lynnwood
There is literally nothing there and a golf course. 500 million wasted on this infill station that's infilling nothing
Loving the TOD there!
I'm a transit fanatic that lives in Lynwood! So excited to finally get link service in Southern Snohomish county + we've been waiting for link service in Snohomish county
Cant wait!
Weird seeing just a single unit running.

speedy lil guy!
Can’t wait for the Lynnwood opening since the 1 Line is the train I use to get around I also had a great time on 2 line opening day
Is this the start of this channel’s ‘Snohomish Transit’ arc? Not an insult or anything just a bad joke by me I love these kind of videos and want to see more of them. Keep up the good work! 👍
Where was this taken from?
There's a big parking garage next to the station. I was on the top level.
I am getting excited!!!!!!!! 😆

Can't wait for it to open!!
Build it and I will come
If the East Link opening was a hoopla, the Lynnwood Link Extension will be absolutely rocking.
It's a shame the trains have to go so slowly through the tunnel
Huh… okay then
I had no idea that thing lit up lol
Only a matter of time before the 1-90 is fixed then it will be whole
So excited
