<p>I have ridden the Orange Line three times from DFW to downtown and back or vice versa. Two of the trips were during the week. One was on a Sunday morning.</p> <p>According to DART's schedules, the average weekday time to get from the West End light rail station to DFW Terminal A on the Orange Line is approximately 50 minutes. The average time to get to Terminal A, using the TRE from Union Station, with connections at CentrePort and the south parking lot is approximately 60 minutes. </p> <p>According to DART's Fact Sheet for 2013, the top speed of its light rail vehicles is 65 mph. The train appears to hit this speed at several points along the Orange Line. </p> <p>One of the drawbacks to using the Orange Line or the TRE is the absence of dedicated luggage space on the trains. DART acknowledges this fact in its guide to using the Orange Line to get to or from DFW. It may not be a factor for people who are traveling light, but it could be a putoff for people with a large amount of luggage. </p>
