I remember couple decades ago when the Millennium Line was a new thing, the route went up to only Braid before the line was extended out to Commercial. It's giving me the "Millennium Line to Braid" vibes.

Fun times, although I was too young at the time to recall

There’s also new SkyTrain service from Waterfront to Surrey central only this is because King George station is closed for 6 weeks from April 27 too mid June

Ahhh the classic sounds of the Mark 1. Probably my favourite train besides the Canada line trains.

I filmed this single tracking before but it’s been like this for like 3 months already I really don’t know how much longer they will have this new service for

[@GYTransit]

It’s expected to last until 2027. Fun times for those who want to go to New West via Lougheed (including me)

@@GYTransit do you know the reason why it going to last til 2027?

@@CHESSJA15 I would guess it takes a long time to integrate/customize existing track to allow it to connect with a maintenance fatality.
