Greatcoinz Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 No Trains between Saddletowne to McKnight. Due to track-circuit issue. (According to Calgary Transit's Twitter) Shuttle Buses shuttling passengers to Saddletowne. There's only 4 Buses on Replacement Shuttle at the time of post, all packed. With rush-hour commencing, it's going to be a long-commute home for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake M Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 202 - Blue Line - Saddletowne / 69 Street CTrain March 24: Blue Line West Closed in 12 days Temporary service change Affected route(s): 202 In effect: March 24, 2019 - March 24, 2019 On Sunday, March 24 the west leg of the Blue Line will be closed until 7:00 p.m. Shuttle buses replace CTrain service to all stations on Blue Line West (between Downtown West/Kerby and 69 Street stations). To provide efficient shuttle service, there are two separate shuttles: 69 Street – Downtown West/Kerby: serves all Stations on Blue Line West except Sunalta Station. Buses will run approximately every five minutes. Sunalta – Downtown West/Kerby: runs between Sunalta and Downtown West/Kerby stations only. Buses will run approximately every ten minutes. Maps of the closure and shuttle stops will be posted soon. Why is this disruption necessary? We’re conducting maintenance on overhead contact wires including replacing worn parts and balance weights that keep tension on the wires. We’re also doing maintenance inside tunnels on our fire suppression and ventilation systems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downbeat Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 This is not going to be helpful Sunday, given the shuttles for the CTrain outage and every other bus running on 9th Avenue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downbeat Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 Nice touch by the operator of the CTrain I was riding earlier, who during an announcement promised “fancy shuttle buses” to connect passengers between Marlborough and Rundle stations during the planned service disruption. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only imagine it now... save a horse, ride a CTrain (gets shoved in there by a transit officer, like they do for the high speed rail cars in Japan) ...seriously though, so how often does something like this happen in Calgary, train to train transfers in the middle of the railway? just out of sheer curiosity.

Fire department on scene Took the Red shuttle from 7 St to Erlton. No one on the bus knew what was going on. I pulled up the shuttle map and basically told everyone where to go. Zero communication from the driver. He was almost pissed off people were asking him questions. Great to see all the shuttles out there though!

downbeat Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Observed a large group of people at Bridgeland station when I drove past around noon. There was an XD40 in the shuttle bus bay. A D40LFR was not far behind, waiting to loop around at the Zoo overpass. (Sorry, didn't catch any fleet numbers.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
