If Translink extended service to Mission and Abbotsford, they might need to permission from VIA as VIA runs through there westbound only in the morning rush hour.
I meant highway 59. Sorry if I didn't make that clear. The current route 85 shares its route with the 41 on Headmaster and Rothesay. This proposal would see it provide non-express service to Headmaster and Devries (the current endpoint of the 41 North Kildonan). The 40 runs down Ragsdill (a few streets over).
The decision was made to study if the 85 could be extended.
My understanding is that none of the rebuilt Skylines are going. 8512 is one of the none refurbished Skylines and was the Economy Activity car on the train I was on in May. 8500, 8507, 8509 and 8517 are refurbished.
There is another route expansion proposal up for a vote. Route 85 could be expanded to service Headmaster and Devries. My guess is that service would be extended across 59 to a new loop once that loop and road are complete.
