sseguin Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 The City of Ottawa released a Confederation Line update memo today. You can consult it here on the O-Train Fans site: https://www.otrainfans.ca/blogs/o-train-confederation-line-project-update-october-2-2018 Important notes from the memo are as follows: Major milestone reached on September 11, 2018 when a train completed the first end-to-end run by traveling between Tunney's Pasture to Blair Station. Train movement and testing has begun in the downtown tunnel. Automatic Train Operation is operating and in use on the eastern track. Expanding to the western tracks and tunnel sections soon. The city continues to monitor and track the project but there is currently no change from the update provided at FEDCO on September 10, 2018. As a result, no update to the Revenue Service Availability Date at this time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The area is called Lebreton Flats, not "Pimsi"... I don't like the name either. "Pimisi" is just waiting for one vandal with his mind in the gutter to change the name to a vital part of the male anatomy. If OC Transpo wanted to honour our First Nations, they could have named the station "Akikodjiwan", which is the Algonquin name for Chaudière Falls. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCL Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 Tonight (Nov 21) and tomorrow night (Nov 22), it is my understanding that RTG will be performing a "smoke test" along the LRT tunnel and the affected stations (Rideau, Parliament, and Lyon) between 10pm and 4am.

I guess to see if the Fanning systems will work if a train were to catch fire in a tunnel (or electrical fire)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basicly if any type of fire were to happen. Or for diesel fumes (high rail vehicles for example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCCheetos Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 The Confederation Line now shows up in the route timetable page or the trip planner if you select a date of March 16, 2019 or later. http://www.octranspo.com/routes?lang=en&date=20190316&rte=1 http://plan.octranspo.com/plan/RouteSchedules?Date=2019-3-16&RouteKey=1~~Direction1&ShowOptions=false (no maps, yet) Edit: According to OC Transpo on Reddit (of all places) it's just for testing, for now.
