Originally, the Addison station had side platforms. In the mid-90s, it was reworked. The side platforms were eliminated and an island platform was erected between the center tracks.Addison was at one time a B station when they still ran skip-stop service. During non-rush hours, both A and B trains operated on the outer tracks between Wilson and Belmont while during rush hours, A trains used the center tracks - probably to avoid Evanson Expresses, which have always used the outer tracks. Things used to be dicy north of Belmont for n/b trains. You had Ravenswood (Brown Line) trains branching off at grade from the outer track, then A and B trains switching from inner to outer tracks during non-rush hours, only to switch back to the inner track before Wilson. With the new configuration at Addison, things are much, much simpler. Red Line trains now stay on the inner tracks all the way from the State Street subway portal to Howard, eliminating the need to share trackage with Purple Line (Evanston Express) trains and greatly reducing switching maneuvers at Belmont and Wilson. |
