Say What?
What the (expletive deleted) is TransLink trying to say?
I will take an educated guess that Translink is either replacing the reaction fourth rail or replacing the third rail for electrical pick up.
The strange thing is, the same trains operate on the Expo and Millennium Lines already.
Or, are they replacing the switches to higher speed switches used on the Millennium Line which was designed for second generation Innovia 100 ART Trains?
Our utterly inept media has been duped again by Translink’s flim-flam.
SkyTrain’s Expo Line undergoes maintenance until the fall

Service on the SkyTrain’s Expo Line will be reduced starting July 25 in Vancouver through to the fall.
Service will be changed during the early mornings of Saturdays and Sundays, and on late-night Sundays, says TransLink.
The service disruption is for maintenance work to upgrade the rail line that powers the SkyTrain motors to match those of the Millennium Line.
Riders can expect some delays around Downtown Vancouver stations and should add up to 20 minutes of extra travel time, says TransLink.
Maintenance work will take place:
- Saturdays from 6:15 a.m. to 10 a.m.
- Sundays from 7:15 a.m. to 10 a.m.
- Sundays from 9:30 p.m. until 12:15 a.m.
If there are any platform changes during maintenance, riders can see that information on the digital screens that are at each station.
The Canada Line and Millennium Line will not be affected by this maintenance.
