I like xn40 and d40lf with the Detroit Diesel series 50. Just how they sound and being more comfy and how they look i guess. Especially the newest xn40s. I'll go marry 18200 the only STC fleet number that ends with 00 I got no time to read about picky and choosy attitude like this, and nor does anyone else on here. If the point of buses in general is to move people from point A to point B then so be it.

Express691 Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 Before this thread goes down any further: I saw this at Surrey central: Hints of ground queues for the 96 NB. ======= Real question/hot take: Can we get away with abandoning or reducing service at Columbia Station? New West is already a major hub for the buses and is arguably a safer place to transfer trains than Columbia. If you dont wanna close it, you can just have KG trains skip Columbia. It would be a good backup if New West is closed for whatever reason. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you mean a side platform? It wasn't meant to be a station made specifically for transferring. There will be a point where the station will need capacity upgrades. New West has a lot more potential for station expansion: they just need to make it so that you dont have to tap out in order to transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the main access is from below and above the platforms, I wonder how hard it would be to convert columbia into an island. Youd have to close it for some time (detour to NW) and just shift the stairs. Could even go for a stadium style layout with a 3rd platform carved into the hill for terminating trains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If those are for ground queue lines, it would explain why the 95 stop at Burrard and I think one of the ones at Willingdon, also have them.

Woodlands? Woodlands would have been located right at the tunnel portal on the Production Branch. I believe it was the development which was cancelled which also lead to the cancellation of the station. Then again, plans from the original Expo era had a spur going from Royal Oak: A junction just before the curve into Edmonds station would have lead to tracks going to Lougheed. But that's a story for another thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
