I've only seen 1 or 2 reserve lines, it seems to vary month-to-month as far as I can tell. Trips there are mostly day trips but there are a few overnights thrown in. I've heard, like many others have, that the outstations are closing so who knows how much longer CRW will be a base.
Classes do start on Tuesdays, not entirely sure why, but that is when they seem to be starting.
Classes start on Tuesdays because Sundays are a reduced operation day and they want to ensure that everyone gets to class at the same time... thus the travel on Monday.... thats my guess anyway.
I don't think CRW will close anytime soon if ever... CRW serves both UA and US and as such it is treated like a focus city... redundancy.
