SkyTrain “Stutters” – Craps Out Again
I only thought people stutter, but evidently not as TransLink claims "stuttering" has caused SkyTrain to shutdown periodically.
Metro Vancouver hit by windstorm; SkyTrain, West Coast Express, ferries all facing disruptions
Vancouver Sun
VANCOUVER – The heavy rain and fierce windstorm that struck Metro Vancouver overnight is wreaking havoc with the commute on Tuesday morning.
As of 6 a.m., transit services around the region have almost all be delayed by the weather. West Coast Express had to cancel its first train this morning after a tree fell onto the tracks at Albion. Delays are expected for the second train, as well.
Meanwhile, spot traffic outages are disrupting traffic lights at some locations, leading to generally slower traffic flows.
SkyTrain is faring no better – the rain and wind is causing the train system to stutter, causing significant delays.
B.C. Ferries has also cancelled two sailings on the Tsawwassen to Duke Point route – the 5:15 a.m. leaving from Tsawwassen and the 7:45 a.m. leaving from Nanaimo.
