    What a complete embarrassment. I have no words to describe how bad these fixes look.

    I’d definitely love to see all of them

    The train may have not been ready for Folk Fest, but the bridge sure was! So nice having that connection back.

    Great info. Just curious what the other inaccuracies were? Just so I know the real story. I’m fascinated by this unfinished station.

    You build any of those 4 stations here in Edmonton and guess what - it would be the same complaints from the same people about how they are soooooo unoriginal and Edmonton is sooooo lame and everyone is sooooo much better than us. And the reverse can also be said - if any other city built any of...

    I really hate to be the one that says this - but I’m honestly scared for this stop. If you don’t think the area looks sketchy enough in the photos, just visit the area in person; it’s the definition of SKETCHY. I know the quarters area has seen some positive redevelopment in recent years and the...

    Let’s not get all worked up just yet - the last few images are the view from the old section of the station - a section that we all know wasn’t going to be remodelled and that isn’t even part of the valley line project. The blue wall is temporary - the new parts are behind it. It’s still under...

    Maybe a stupid question but I have to ask - is the standard operating direction always going to be on the left track? The majority of the testing I have seen has been on the left.

    Just a little preview to build some excitement. Must be some pretty proprietary equipment on top of the trams for them to blur them out. Does anyone have any insight to the technological advantages these trains might have that set them apart from the competition? I'm guessing it's Bombardier...

    Who said anything about anyone screwing up? General rail grinding and “surveying and fine-tuning” are two different things for two different purposes. The first run of rail grinding was done to remove any defects/residue/weld marks from the construction process and to result in a smoother, more...

    Do they not need to be differentiated though? The Valley Line “stop” is technically not inside the building and you are needing to go up 2 levels, exit the building, go outside and walk to the stop (even though it is right outside the doors). Think about it from the perspective of someone...

    X-Wing in action. I tried to wait around to get a video of it moving but I think the work crew got camera shy and ran 😆

    Looks like Ottawa's Confederation line is off the rails again - literally! The Globe & Mail: Off the rails again: Ottawa’s troublesome LRT keeps jumping the tracks I really hope that the extra time that is being taken to build the Valley Line will include extra testing to ensure everything is...
