VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – If you ever use SkyTrain you’ll want to know about this — changes are coming to the Expo and Millennium lines ahead of the Evergreen extension coming online in December.
The Expo line will have two routes, both will start at Waterfront but one will run to King George and the other will go to Production-Way University station.
The Millennium Line will no longer go to waterfront instead running between VCC-Clark and Lougheed Town Centre before eventually connecting with the Evergreen line.
“Mid-October we are going to be doing some testing to make sure that we can operate the whole system effectively and make sure that our staff are familiar with the Evergreen extensions, all the stations and how to drive trains in that area,” explains Ian Fisher with the BC Rapid Transit Company.
TransLink CEO Kevin Desmond calls this a milestone to celebrate, “we are focused on helping our customers make a smooth transition to the new operating pattern. By doing this well in advance of opening the Evergreen extension, we are giving our customers a chance to adjust and learn how the changes may affect how they travel on our system.”
The change kicks in on Oct 22nd.
