SkyTrain Delay | 4-Car 2009 Mark II on the Millennium Line

Welcome to this rare video capturing a rather odd train assignment on the Millennium Line. Normally, we can expect 4-car 2009 Mark II sets during inclement weather, although with attendants occupying the front, filming from there would be impossible. Not this time, however, with the assignment being due to a non-weather related delay. Enjoy! Part 1 - Millennium Line to VCC-Clark (all platform 1...

I was on my way home at around 9:30 pm on February 23, 2023 when I saw the display at Sapperton platform 2 showing a train going to VCC-Clark. I was not going to pass it up, but as it turns out, the train was not in service... It was running between Sapperton and VCC-Clark, hence why it switched back just west of Sapperton. Also, the sign says "not in service" on the platform 1 display, but not...

Expo Line SkyTrain Terminating at Lougheed (Snow Buildup)
Просмотров 3,3 тыс.Год назад
Recorded on December 19, 2022. Due to excess buildup of snow that resulted in service delays, all Expo Line trains normally running to/from Production Way were instead running to/from Lougheed. In this video, recorded on car 115(-116) and paired with two other Mark 1 sets, the train takes the switch just slightly west of Lougheed Station to start its inbound trip back to Waterfront.

      @@GYTransit well they have to force terminate at lougheed for snow conditions anyway. Maybe this is an issue for a few years down the line. I was thinking because if you have these production way trains on the m line sections you effectively lose frequency on all ends. Surrey gets less trains because some trains have to go to production way, and M line trains can’t be increased because the Expo line trains are in the way.
