TrainRide: TransLink (SkyTrain) - Expo Line (Columbia to Lougheed Town Centre) - Pattern Changes

Here's a TrainRide from Columbia to Lougheed Town Centre. In this ride, this train will switch over to the Waterfront-bound tracks to continue through Sapperton and Braid Stations, and will return to regular routing at Lougheed Station.
As of February 25, 2024, SkyTrain patterns will be altered for trains running between Waterfront and Production Way-University. Some trains on this routing will run as usual while other trains will terminate at Braid. This is part of the SkyTrain Expansion Program as a new OMC will be built alongside the Trans-Canada Highway (Hwy 1); a new SkyTrain facility will be seen between Braid and Lougheed Town Centre Stations. As you ride the SkyTrain, check for signs and ask the SkyTrain attendant for further assistance.

1:19 the Columbia to sapperton tunnel looks like the entrance of the bay area rapid transit system transbay tube .. depending on how the lights look on the left

3:43-10:03 Very British 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@souadghomari1422]

Ah, so trains are driving on the left now? And think about this: A train is going to the new OMC, but there is a very sharp curve, which can cause derailments, like on that happened in 2022.

[@MetroElfren]

Our trains can very much handle sharp curves. If you can think of it this way: if our trains can’t handle sharp curves then they cannot stay in the main OMC, which has numerous sharp curves.

[@jmstransit]

that derailment was caused by sheared bolts on the LIM rail; the report was released in September 2022

[@souadghomari1422]

Thanks. Edit: If a new switch would've been placed there, _this_ could've caused derailments or the train to fall because of the switch's placement not having a straight stretch of track, unlike the main OMC where the track is not elevated.

[@beex699]

What happened in 2022 was not because of the curves. In fact, it happened near Scott Road Station with little to no curves at the station at all. That derailment was caused by a couple of bolts. Perhaps if you have read the reports that are online, then you'll be more aware of what happened than making shit up.

@8:05 I honestly don’t understand why they couldn’t have done the track switch at this area instead of Sapperton…

[@besteverpuppetshow7742]

Hell na

[@MetroElfren]

My guess is that they might cut open the Braid centre track and build a connection from there to the OMC. But don’t take my word for it.

Bruh at 5:30 I got hit in the feels because the mark 1 is 4 cars like in its first days, and because this is a plan to replace them too..
