Express691 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 We have been seeing all sorts of incidents with our system, mainly the jump in skytrain shutdowns. This thread is for the discussion of Skytrain shutdowns, station closures, and etc. Etc. I suppose discussion about crime rates near skytrain stations can be posted here as well. Some guidelines: 1) No stalls or B/O (including faulty compressors, fluid leak, flat tire) for buses, that happens every day. 2) For SkyTrain stalls, those are relatively minor unless they result in single track operation. Anything else should be post-worthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
323 Surrey Ctrl Stn Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Could we make this just Skytrain related? I feel like the bus stuff can still go under Special Sightings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I would agree with making this SkyTrain related only. 1:30pm "RCIU" failure for switch groups at Metrotown and Joyce (same problem as yesterday), resolved at 1:40pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opal Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Med. Emergency at metrotown; trains single-tracking between 2 surrounding stations. Minor delays. There was one Monday night too, at Nanaimo. That one lasted a while -- from 9:30 ish to 11:30 ish. I don't remember the exact times, just that I was listening to the radio until I went to bed and it hadn't cleared yet. I think someone had a heart attack or something on the train, since they were working on him for a while. At least it was during the maintenance so that there were fewer trains on the line. Today's messed things up quite a bit. There was a Red India (human contact with train) yesterday at Lougheed around 4:00 PM as well. But the victim didn't end up in the guideway -- just bounced off the front of the train and back onto the platform. They never closed the station and it never disrupted service.

GoCanGo Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 S8004 was involved in a collision. Sustained dents and some damage to the front and side end; also two broken windows (drivers side and drivers front windows). Didn't get a chance to take a picture. S8007 was apparently seen emitting dark smoke @ 1:30 near KGB and 104th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Bus Fan Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 SkyTrain had a minor problem in the morning because the stations or lines were not announced, but I heard operate saying, "Expo line to Surrey" at Columbia Station. Also on way home when we left 22 nd street station the train was going super slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Express691 Posted December 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Oh that is odd. That was according to their twitter. And I actually have no idea on why inbound trains on that section have no slow order... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opal Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I did not see them. I heard from the PA on the train or in the station. Why aren't Waterfront bond trains part of the slow order? There were just a few announcements coming through on "Skyvoice" which is apparently different from the normal announcements. Also, control was making periodic announcements whenever attendants were confused as well. As for the slow order, the Waterfront-bound tracks are different from the Columbia-bound tracks, so a slow order on one side doesn't automatically mean a slow order on the other. I think I remember hearing that it was some piece of equipment the overnight maintenance crews had to leave there and it needed to be "treated with care", hence the slow order. The piece of equipment is not on the other side, hence no slow order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millennium2002 Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Fire? Maybe.Electrical short? Definitely. Evidence, as reported by Vancity Buzz: None of these are my videos and I don't take credit for them; I'm just finding them on YouTube as we speak...
