On March 23, 2026 Metrolink cut nearly 20% of its service across six of seven lines, citing mechanical problems and parts shortages. It was announced as a seven-week temporary measure, then extended indefinitely — and as of May the agency was evaluating deeper service reductions and a possible fare increase as early as October. The reduced schedule is the one linked below.

Metrolink scopes most alerts to a single train rather than a line, so this page also claims alerts naming trains 200–299 and 1260–1299 — the number ranges the published AV Line timetable uses — and alerts at the three stations in town. Alerts the agency scopes to another line are never shown here.
