Express691 Posted November 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 This PM there was a "leak" inside the massey tunnel which forced it to close in both directions just before the PM rush. Initially thought to be river water seeping in, It was later found to be an oversized truck which hit a sprinkler. Clear by around 1630/1700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove through the tunnel at 1700 & there was a single SB lane open, while NB was shut down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Comm announced just after 11 am that a bus bridge was being set up between Columbia and 22nd Street Station. They didn't say why at the time. I don't know how long it was running for though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Express691 Posted November 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Millennium line had a bad day today. First, Commercial-Broadway station is closed for a medical emergency. Currently, there is a power/track issue in the same area (which some say may not get solved by the time service wraps up for the evening). One of the shuttles VCC-Renfrew is an all-refurb 6-car mk1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GORDOOM Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 2 hours ago, Catherine Wilkins said: AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE ICBC MVA - Motor Vehicle Accidents is a term we will no longer be using. We now prefer using the term MVC - Motor Vehicle Collisions. Thank you very much for your assistance. This may sound like mere semantics, but IMO it’s a significant and long-overdue change. Most collisions are caused by negligence and/or recklessness on the part of one or both drivers; dismissing them as mere “accidents” glosses over this point and makes it harder (socially and politically) to hold drivers to account for their conduct behind the wheel. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMBC numbers the lane starting from the right lane and going left..... Actually, most places numbers the lanes from left to right... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There could be incidents that don't involve a collision. A vehicle skidding off the road may not hit another vehicle so there's no collision. I guess we will all have to go along with this change but the original meaning of "accident" was simply something that happened. And modern times people were blamed for causing an accident. Using the word accident didn't exonerate people from blame if they were at fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Express691 Posted December 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 little bit of a field day on the Expo/Millennium Line this afternoon: Incidents ranging from severe to minor. 1) (this was the major incident) Stalled train between Nanaimo and Stadium. Production trains ran from Production to Columbia as mainline trains single-tracked through the eastbound tracks between Nanaimo and Stadium. 2) Some shouting match/verbal + physical altercation at Metrotown. Managed to catch the end of it and recorded a few seconds on my smartphone. Not sure how the long the train involved was stopped for though. 3) According to the scanner, there was a medical incident at Joyce where someone had been beaten up by a group of teenagers 4) A small track fire caused by papers at Commercial-Broadway (I assume it was the M-line westbound platform according to the chat) 5) Granville station, someone went into the tunnel, took a leak, and got back onto the platform 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
