How can I get back to the Northridge Metrolink Station during the mid-day when the free shuttle is not running? 

Use the Northridge DASH bus to access the train station. The nearest stop for DASH is the southwest corner of Reseda Boulevard at Nordhoff Street. The DASH stops there every 20 minutes on time points that end in "11", "31" and "51" minutes after the hour. The DASH route is not a direct trip from that location, so please allow 25-30 minutes of bus riding time to get to the station ahead of your train.  Information about the Northridge DASH is available from the Northridge DASH website.  

Please note:  The Northridge DASH does operate on Saturdays, however, the Metrolink train does not.
