So, what else can shut down the Danger Train besides rain, falling cable lines and trees, power outages, water main breaks, rats, marathons, enthusiastic sports fans, and of course, 130+ accidents?

Building demolition!

A planned building implosion in the Texas Medical Center Sunday, June 25, will require METRO to temporarily shut down METRORail service between Dryden and Hermann Park/Rice University Stations, and detour a portion of the 8 South Main bus route.

METRO service changes will take place from approximately 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.

Fannin and many other streets in the TMC will be temporarily closed and pedestrian activity will be prohibited in the area.

METRO will operate dedicated “Rail Shuttle” buses[…]

Yay for the buses!
