    Castro station assumed a very brief role as a  
	route terminal in 2007, when 
	the T-Third line began operating between there and Sunnydale Ave.  Service 
	issues, and the resulting complaints, were so extensive that that arrangement ended after 
	only several months of weekday operation.  Under the revised plan the K-Ingleside 
	is 
	through-routed with T-Third.  The line changes route identification at West Portal heading into 
	the subway, and at Embarcadero heading out to Balboa Park.  
 This view from the inbound platform at Castro shows a train from West Portal and 
	beyond with doors already closed.  
	Fairly soon the first T-Third train of the day, then still operating in 
	initial weekend-only mode, will occupy this space.
