After 10:15 p.m., the 2 Line will stop service from Northgate to Lynnwood. All Lynnwood-bound 2 Line passengers must exit at Northgate and transfer to a Lynnwood-bound 1 Line train.

From 11 p.m. to the end of service, all trains at Shoreline South Station will serve the Federal Way-bound side of the platform.
