Vancouver Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 How were the loads on the XD40's used on the C-Train shuttles this weekend? I saw some pictures of long lines at Bridgeland, but wasn't in the area to see for myself. I assume they have to have higher frequency during midday compared to running the D60LFR's or XD60's out of VP before March to ensure everyone gets on.

1604 Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 They moved some XD60s up to SG for the weekend which they're using on the shuttle. Just a 40 ft on the Zoo specific shuttle. Still 5 minute headways too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of shuttles though, anyone remember the old 553 shuttle that would run Erlton-Bridgeland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake M Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 The switch on the inbound track at Tuscany failed. All trains using the outbound track to/from Crowfoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRT Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 WOW! Nice pic! I think what happened there was "the train got dumped" (went past a red signal) and the train ended up in the switches. When that happens the switches need to be taken off power and put into manual before the train to move. Probably took a little bit of time for a supervisor to show up and to perform that procedure. That's probably why they ran a single-track... to keep trains moving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was weird though, right after I posted the pic, the train on the inbound track offloaded it's passengers (the only ones were in the third car, still in the station) and the train on the outbound track left. Then the IB track train moved back into the station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1604 Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Over the July long weekend, Rundle and Whitehorn stations will be closed. Articulated (extra large) shuttle buses will connect you between Marlborough and McKnight-Westwinds stations and will run every five minutes. Why is this disruption necessary? We are completing a number of maintenance projects including: Preventative maintenance on the overhead contact wires between Marlborough and McKnight-Westwinds stations. Platform track surfacing. Repairing a rail crossing. Modifications to the approach warning system at Whitehorn Station. Building repairs at Whitehorn Station. Does anyone know what 'modifications to the approach warning system at Whitehorn' entails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
