First train for testing on the Broadway Subway Project

#Vancouver #SkyTrain

happening now: work crews are covering the historical Transit Centennial and ALRT Inauguration plaques with FIFA advertisements. seriously not cool!! i intend to file an official complaint about this. i can’t let this fly. the whole city is being plastered in fucking advertisements for FIFA. all our landmarks and all our public spaces are being desecrated without public consent. and yes, i asked the workers to confirm that was the task they were assigned. they didn’t seem so happy about it either.

vancouver is NOT for sale!

boosting encouraged!

I think we really nailed it with the Broadway detour when we let a few drivers block 4 express buses.

BEHOLD! The first train on Broadway Subway Territory!

This unit 013/014 was run from OMC1 to OMC2 last night around 11PM according to a tvan discord member. Some people there also noted seeing a 2-car mk1 in the Clark Tail Track this morning. After my class, I investigated. This is not any ordinary trip to the tail track, as this train is fully within BSP jurisdiction now, its behind the construction fence and on freshly-laid track.

Testing will commence soon!

I should mention, TransLink social media was vagueposting about 014 being involved in something special this week. This is it! For those who do not know, 014 is the "royal car" that carried monarchs visiting Vancouver in 1986.
