OC Transpo says construction on the Trillium Line is progressing, but still won’t commit to a specific launch date for the north-south rail line until after the trial period.
Councillors at the light-rail transit subcommittee were provided a detailed update on construction for the Stage 2 extension that will run from Bayview Station to Riverside South, with a spur to the Ottawa International Airport.
Morgan adds, "We are still waiting to see the performance of the train across the entire network through August and September to give us a good sense of, is it highly reliable? What is our confidence level with the system? Is it ready to go?" One of those lessons is running parallel bus services for the full first winter of operation on the Trillium Line; something that wasn’t done in Stage 1.
Councillors were told how much emphasis will be put on testing the system before passengers can board the trains. Staff will be provided daily updates of the previous day’s performance and a technical briefing once trial running is complete.
