DFW North station is an under-construction FWTA commuter rail and DART commuter rail station to be located on Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport property in Grapevine, Texas.

Trinity Metro commuter rail station

Trinity Metro is currently constructing TEXRail from T&P Station in Fort Worth to DFW Airport Station in Grapevine. The DFW North station will provide transfers to the DART Cotton Belt Line and the DART Orange Line while serving employees of the airport, but it is also expected to spur transit-oriented development. A bus loading and kiss-and-ride area (connected to the platforms via a pedestrian walkway) will be located west of this station.[1] DFW Airport, after announcements that TEXRail was green-lit for construction, has said that they will provide $40 million to build only the DFW Airport station, which would leave the FWTA to build this station.[2]

Service is expected with commencement of revenue service on December 31, 2018.[3]
