MARTA's heavy rail network is composed of four service lines: the Red, Gold, Blue, and Green Lines. The Red and Gold Lines mainly run along the North-Northeast corridor, and the Blue and Green Lines run along the West-East corridor. The two corridors connect at the Five Points station and is the only station where all four lines could transfer.
The Red and Gold lines split north of the Lindbergh Center Station (stop N6). Northbound trains are identified by their destinations (North Springs or Doraville) on electronic LCD signs on the front and sides of the train and on each car. An automated announcement system announces train destinations, connections to bus routes at each station, connections to other rail lines, and other landmarks that apply to each rail station. During daytime hours, trains from both lines service the entire trunk line (N6 to S7); all southbound trains are identified with a destination of Airport. After 8:30pm on weekdays and 8:50pm on weekends, only Doraville bound trains service N6 to S7. As a result, riders must transfer to or from a North Springs train at Lindbergh Center (N6).
The Blue and Green lines split at Ashby Station (stop W3). Trains are identified by their final destination. Trains from H.E. Holmes (W5) travel to Indian Creek Station (E9). Normally, trains originating at Bankhead Station (stop P4) travel to Edgewood/Candler Park Station (stop E4). After 8:30pm on weekdays and 8:50pm on weekends, trains originating at Bankhead Station only go so far as Vine City Station (stop W2).
