Board Admin A. Wong Posted May 17, 2010 Board Admin Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Interesting, I rode train 6 this morning. Seemed to be OK at that point - wonder if the consist was replaced. One guy was having trouble opening the doors at Grandin but I think that was user error... The train in before it (U2) was train 4. Does anyone know how the even/odd train numbers are working now?

awstott Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 LRT is down between Belvedere and Clareview. Asking for the track crew to come out with 2010 for something. Sounds like they're single tracking through Belvedere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captaintrolley Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 They are. Train 50 (training / service ?) heard a big bang and the pantograph lowered. AFAIK there is some catenary damage and a couple of rectifiers at CLVW are not operating. Also contingency between CLVW and BELV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. Parsons Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Wonder if it's the same place as last time..... Probably not, given operation to Belvedere is still occuring. Hopefully the substation isn't fried. Look at how long it took them to get Cromdale back up after they damaged it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at how long it took them to get Cromdale back up after they damaged it! I'm sure that was all part of a delay tactic to keep some trolleys off the road as long as possible.

Hawk Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 The news was saying the catenary came down north of Belvedere but the line should be open by morning (if you believe everything the news says). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microbus Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 They must have a slow order on both tracks south of Belvedere Station too... LRT trains have been going quite slow through there, NB and SB. On a different note... they changed the traffic light sequence at 111 st and 51 ave sometime today. The WB gets the left turn arrow right after the LRT goes through, instead of being last in the sequence Pantograph inspection is happening at Churchhill from the sounds of things. Wonder what they're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

microbus Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Power outage shuts down part of Edmonton LRT By Laura Drake, edmontonjournal.com May 18, 2010 11:02 PM Be the first to post a comment EDMONTON — A power outage has stopped the LRT from running between Clareview and Belvedere stations. Edmonton Transit spokeswoman Patricia Dickson said part of a training vehicle snagged an overhead power line just before 10 p.m. Tuesday, causing the train to lose power between the two stations. The rest of the LRT was running fine. Bus service has been set up between Clareview and Belvedere. Dickson said the power should be restored to the line in time for Wednesday’s start of service.

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Peace Officers got a fare evader this morning, and were nice enough to let them travel 2 stations. Today's excuse was "I forgot to stamp the ticket because the train was there, can you write a time on it?" They were having none of that and wrote a fine. Yes I know this is an older post.. That's the excuse he used? Wow.. Was that the last train of the day that he was about to miss? NOT....!! Very happy the Peace Officers were not buying his story!

M. Parsons Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Trains 13, 14, and 15 were U2s today. I believe 15 went in (never seen it midday... I think it's one of the runs that go back to DLM after 10am). There was also an unidentified (that I could) U2 train running with 3 cars!? Haven't personally seen a 3 car U2 in some time! 13-15 were all 4 car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board Admin A. Wong Posted May 19, 2010 Board Admin Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 I was going to mention that I saw 2 3 car U2 consists out this morning. Mine was a 4 car though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 about 540 this evening, train 16 hit a cyclist at 92street. The bike landed up being wedged under the train and the cyclist was taken to the hospital. he was under trauma but alert and the train just happened to have a nurse on it. Train was of course blocking a cross over. Train was moved out of the way by 620-630. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mock Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Did this guy fail grade one? Always look both ways when crossing the road, and don't go on the train tracks when the lights are flashing and the gates are down... This is not a case of an LRV hitting a cyclist, it's a cyclist playing chicken with an LRV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T6H-5307N Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Hmm, maybe that's why one should look both ways before crossing the rails. Any time is train time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
