downbeat Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 There is a CTrain closure planned for this coming weekend for regular maintenance/construction on the Blue Line. https://www.calgarytransit.com/content/transit/en/home/service-updates.html Part of the work is described as "Fall arrest at Barlow and Zoo stations". Is this to prevent falls within the stations headhouses, to keep people from falling off the platforms onto the tracks, or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this to prevent falls within the stations headhouses, to keep people from falling off the platforms onto the tracks, or something else? Fall arrest... thats a term I don't specifically hear very often on here lol How high are the guardrails inside the station? 80s standards, or modern enough that someone over 5-6 feet won't accidentally fall over the guardrails? The older rails at Brentwood for example, anyone my height (6 ft) could've easily fallen over, if pushed, wind or otherwise. Maybe thats what they mean? Unless they're testing out some sort of glass door-esque safety system for the platforms, to prevent people from jumping onto the tracks (or being pushed in front of trains?)

Nick B Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Platform edge doors would be hard to implement on our system because of the different door configurations between car types here. Not worth the investment at any station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downbeat Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 So inside Barlow and Zoo stations, IIRC, it’s a switchback ramp all the way down to the underpass/tunnel level. At the end of the first landing, someone could easily hop over the railing and jump down, causing serious harm to themselves or to someone who might be hanging out underneath … If the work is inside, my guess is this is what they might be trying to correct.

CTrainDude Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 I'm guessing it would actually be work on the fall arrest system on the station roof - not really anything to do with the public facing part of the station. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
