Seahawks Sounder Trains Canceled For Sunday's Game
Due to a shift in NFL scheduling, moving Sunday's game to the evening, Sound Transit will not be able to run trains to CenturyLink Field.
SEATTLE, WA — Game-day trains for Sunday's match-up between the Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers were canceled after the game was moved from the afternoon to the evening, according to Sound Transit. The transportation agency said the scheduled 5:20 p.m. start time does not allow enough federally-required rest time for train crews between Sunday night and the regular Monday morning service.
In place of the trains, Sound Transit said additional bus service will be available for those looking to get to and from CenturyLink Field. Link light rail trains will also be running as usual.
You can find bus schedules and plan trips for specific times on the Sound Transit website.
