The I-225 express…
Starting from the Downtown Light Rail Loop, The H Line serves the southern and southeastern suburbs of Denver, providing a connection to key areas like the Denver Tech Center, Cherry Creek, and Aurora. It opened with the E Line in November 2006. The line follows the Southeast Corridor to a junction located just south of Southmoor Station, and then swings northeast to head up I-225 in the median.
In February 2017, the H Line was extended from Nine Mile Station to its current ‘south’ terminus at Florida Station with the opening of the R Line. Currently trains take 44 minutes to travel the line.
From 3am to 5am, some southbound H Line trains originate at Evans Station and operate via the ‘non-revenue track’ direct to Louisiana – Pearl Station.
