CTrain Service Information

May 30-June 1: Banff Trail to Sunnyside (Single Tracking)

Affected routes: Red Line

Affected stations: Lions Park, SAIT/AUArts/Jubilee, Sunnyside

Affected service hours:
Friday, May 30 (starting at 8:00 p.m.)
Saturday, May 31 (all day)
Sunday, June 1 (all day)

What to expect:

These stations will NOT be fully closed, this is a partial closure.

The northbound track will be closed at Lions Park, SAIT/AUArts/Jubilee, and Sunnyside stations for construction work starting at 8:00 p.m. on Friday, May 30 until start of service on Monday, June 2.

This means the trains will only be using one track at these stations for travel in both directions. Whether you’re heading northbound towards Tuscany, or southbound towards City Centre/Somerset-Bridlewood, you will need to catch the train via the southbound side of the platform (the one heading toward City Centre).

Keep an eye on the station digital displays and listen for station announcements to ensure you’re using the correct side.

Full CTrain service on the Red Line will be back up and running again by start of service Monday, June 2.

Why are we doing this?

When looking at the work that needs to be done at (or between) specific stations, we always try to see if closing just one side of the tracks is a safe, effective, and available option. Also known as “single tracking”, this type of closure allows us to complete the important work while also keeping train traffic moving!

This weekend’s repair and maintenance projects include:

• Sunnyside LRT Station Pedestrian Crossing improvements,
• Work on the overhead catenary system at SAIT,
• and other projects, as time allows.
