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...

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...

As for the slow order, I noticed that yesterdayI 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?

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...

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...
