Eastbound station
Wouldn't it be more precise to say that 38th & Blake is the "first station eastbound from Union Station", rather than the "first eastbound station"?

It's not a given that RTD stations serve both directions. The 16th Street and 18th Street stations downtown are examples of where separate stations serve different directions - two northeastbound (on California St.) and two southwestbound (on Stout St.).

Was my change to keep the final sentence from being a fragment acceptible: Adding "Travel times are" before "About 4 minutes ..."?

 * Train direction is not the same as cardinal direction. By using a term like "eastbound" instead of "east of", we can avoid confusion associated with train lines that change direction mid-route. Standardization is important, especially when dealing with a common issue (transit) that comes with local variations. The travel time change is fine and got swept up in the revert, so my apologies.

 * That's fine, but to me, "eastbound station" suggests that westbound passengers aren't served, as at some Calgary CTrain downtown stations. Again, Downtown Denver has some northbound-only stations and some southbound-only stations. Propose "first station eastbound from Union Station" since now eastbound modifies the direction of travel and not 38th & Blake station itself.

 * That works pretty well.  Sounder Bruce  04:04, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
