3310 was involved in a Muti Vehicle MVA this morning after sliding into several vehicles due to Icy Roads while coming down Laurentian Cres Hill at Culter St. this morning

With all the weight sitting 40 feet behind you, it doesn't take much for the back end to start pushing and swinging around.

Just after 6:30pm, there was an explosion downtown along Burrard Street in the area near Cordova Street.

Trains initially ran to Stadium with a shuttle to Burrard, and with track 3 at stadium used for unloading a few extra trains.

Trains are now going as far as Burrard and turning back.

Wait, are we meaning to say that the SB lanes (or 1/2 lanes) will be closed indefinitely?

I haven't seen this announced everywhere. The spillover delays onto routes like 100 Marine Drive are going to be massive 😬

Where is the news? Today's brouhaha resulted in probably about 20 cancelled run notices going into my text messages, tripled runtimes, and massive crowds of passed up passengers at even minor stops along the corridor.

Medical emergency, Gateway stn

Started at around 08:07. train 444 involved on the outbound.

Surrey bound trains from Waterfront turn back at Scott Road. Unload on the outbound.

trains to production are unaffected.

Shuttles: there are 2 because the return time is too long.

-King George to Surrey central on the outbound tracks

-Scott Road to Surrey Central on the inbound tracks, skipping Gateway. This shuttle train (449) has its sign stuck on COMMERCIAL BROADWAY so the announcer guy has to keep repeating himself lolol

Shuttle buses run Surrey Central to Scott Road

I think the incident at Gateway and the shuttle ops caused some major brouhaha with the destination signs lasting the day 😅

In the evening at around 8PM, I was at Main Street and there were Waterfront-bound trains to King George, King George bound trains to Production Way, Production Way bound trains to Waterfront, a Commercial-Broadway train heading inbound from Main. Every single train had an incorrect display, with only the platform LED boards displaying the correct destination. Inside the train, the destination LED maps were stuck (some flashing on Scott Road), and announcements were not playing. I was on a train that had no announcements until they suddenly began working at Royal Oak.

I did also see destination sign mixups on mk2.5/3 - all on westbound trains west of Edmonds.

For some reason after I passed Edmonds OB the destinations on those train types were correct.

Isn't there a VOBC reset or something at Edmonds? If yes, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of that having something to do with it

Not on the inbound tracks, though that possibility remains. We’ll never know now though.
