taras Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Anyone know why the LRT still slows to a crawl southbound after crossing the river into the portal towards University? very frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly likely there is work going on in tunnel, or a slow order in place due to new tracks recently laid down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could also be the train in front of it is not clear of the block yet so it has to wait. What's wrong with enjoying the beautiful view from the bridge? Sure beats sitting in a tunnel in the dark!

M. Parsons Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 ETS has been on again/ off again doing work on the University crossovers. Some of the turnouts have had frogs replaced, others I don't think have. There was a frog sitting near the crossovers for a good while, and ETS has a overall frog replacement program underway system wide. The last time I was through there (Thursday?), 2012 was sitting at the north portal so there was definitely some work in the area. I've planning a bit of a late night excursion tomorrow as it is to see if there's anything going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Parsons Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 South portal/ Southbound is likely just a slow order due to a track issue. It does feel a bit rough. Could be waiting on parts, or just simply time to fix it. Don't expect it to be dealt with anytime soon if the slow order on the NB track at the South Campus pocket track south switch is any indication. That's been a slow order all summer, if not before. However, last night there was a welding crew working in the area. EPCOR had a line truck on the SB track in Grandin. Looks like LED lighting upgrades.

Board Admin A. Wong Posted November 20, 2019 Board Admin Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 Here is an audio recording of the station announcement "Churchill Station. Please Transfer Here For A Metro Line Train" This is played at Churchill Station now, rather than just the station name like all other stations, at least on SD160s. The signs inside the car also display text to indicate this transfer point.

armorand Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Still depressing, how Winnipeg refuses to advance into the 21st century, with the only LRV it's ever seen, being shipped on a flatbed past Union Station & the Forks... but damn, that is a great photo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoomed in on the fleet number with my phone Not likely, but them who knows at this point. I'm curious if something happened to it when it spent the winter outside. Surprised it is still in transit too. It was spotted loaded up in Edmonton upwards of 2 weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
