(Old Version) Vancouver Skytrain & Canada Line in Action - Feb. 12th, 2012

Skytrain is the fastest form of urban transport within the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. Skytrain is operated by the British Columbia Rapid Transit Co. - part of TransLink, the South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority.
There are three lines - the Expo Line: opened in stages between 1985 and 1993 - the Millenium Line: opened in 2002 - and the Canada Line: opened in 2009. A new extension of the Millennium Line is opening in late-2016.
In this video - two different types of train are in use on the Expo/Millennium Lines - the Mk1s introduced in 1985, the Mk2s in white introduced in 2002, and the MK2s in black introduced in 2009.
In 2009, another type of train was introduced to Metro Vancouver. These were built by Hyundai Rotem - exclusively used on the Canada Line to YVR Airport and Richmond from Waterfront.

As promised - a new 'SkyTrain in Action' video for you all! 1 hour long! Includes new stations on the Millennium Line's Evergreen extension, as well as old favourites on the Expo, Millennium and Canada lines.

This specific video was sampled by the experimental hip hop band “Death Grips” on their song “System Blower”
Only Death Grips would sample a fucking train lol
RIGHT
wasnt this sampled in death grips
I've no idea, but if it was they didn't have permission from me

I remember watching this video for the first time back in November 2013. It’s so good seeing it again after a decade.
1:24 and 5:36
stay noided
Yes, the old ones do have a distinct sound and feel about them - that and they're short enough to run in six-car consists during peak periods unlike the new units.
The old units are set for refurbishment within the next year or so.
death grips reference?
29th avenue
The trains are controlled from a control-centre in Burnaby, by computer. However, if anything goes wrong then an attendant can open the dashboard and drive them manually.
Destination of all SkyTrain

Never heard of it before

"The next station is...Nanaimo."
I agree :) I hope you enjoyed this video... I want to do the Seattle LINK Light Rail next :D
I so miss the Skytrain...hoping to get back to live in Vancity by September 2013 :)
Brilliant sounding trains.
I travel on this when I visit Vancouver. Thanks for sharing it.
Aaaahhh, Vancouver Nostalgia
Happy 27th skytrain!!!
The train at 1:29 looks like and sounds like are Scarborough rapid transit srt
Yep, those are the Mk1s. Toronto also has these cars - they were built by UTDC.
Do you have any info on the planned mid-life refurbishment of Mark I sets? What little I have found is mostly speculation about cost and various proposals to replace them with new stock. Thanks.
However the MK3's services begin in 2012
The Mk3s didn't arrive until 2016 - although now they are being referred to as Mk4s with some minor improvements.
Unfortunately I don't know anything about it. Right now I don't think TransLink can afford to replace the MK1 stock. There is new stock arriving for the opening of the Evergreen Line in 2016, but that's all we know right now. Those will be fixed four-car sets, as opposed to the two-car sets which are the norm for Skytrain right now.
Pretty nostalgic.
There's a newer version in HD. This old video only remains for the view count
@@Welwyn22 I know, I watched that one too.
@Cobgacataski-comedy.... I suspect there presently isn't the capacity available at the OMC near Coquitlam. That will change once the new OMC opens in 2026, but by then the Mk1s will be on their way out
@DangerWrap
Information updated. Thanks! :)
4 years :)
8 years :)
12 years ; )
@@lionelhutz5137 10 years :)
YAY I love the older MK 2's :-D
***** :-D
PlatinumEagleStudio's I don't like any Mark 2s only Mark 1 and Mark 3
That new blue, silver-gray, and yellow paint scheme looks sharp!
Nice vid!
Thanks for this. I moved away in 2003 when Skytrain wasn't yet divided into three lines. Are there any plans to extend the Skytrain to either UBC or SFU?
Yes, but the millennium line will only extend to Arbutus. However there are suggestions to fully extend it to UBC. As for SFU, there will be a gondola.
@@WCE107 Interesting, thanks.
KL (Malaysia) has Mark 2 Bombardier Art trains [RapidKL] 1 min freq at KJ 15 KL Sentral i love them.. theyre very efficient, nice and comfortable.. during rush hours they come at every 1 minute, thanks to the excellent signalling system. Thanks Bombardier
They even have innovia mark 3s now, but in this era, bombardier is gone.
You're lucky.
The main point of this video is to allow others from outside the area to become familiar with the system... but it also serves a purpose for posterity, things are going to change before long with the Evergreen Line opening and the other new projects TransLink are coming out with.
the new skytrains are much nicer
5:34 is like the YRT
TTC just different colour
SYSTEM BLOWER
There are proposed plans to extend the Millennium Line to UBC after the opening of the Evergreen Line, but nothing's certain yet. As for SFU... there has been a proposal for either LRT or a gondola-type cable car to run up Burnaby Mountain, but again nothing's for certain.
We have mark 1s in Toronto on called the rt/TTC.
TTCkid5300 Shepardyongebloorscarbrouh they ARE pretty similar, except the SRT has a driver controlling the train while the Mark I SkyTrain is automated (though there IS a control console hidden away inside a panel for controlling the train manually while it's in the maintenance yard)
great vid! keep it up! subscribed!
I prefer the old trains....
Timothy Tham The older trains are Mark 1 😏
at 1:20 Scarborough rt toronto
Firestone gaming basically, except with a different door closing chime and it doesn't have a driver (the SkyTrain is automated. It's controlled by a computer system while the SRT has a driver controlling the train on board)
Are all the trains going to be painted in the new livery.
I like the old ones better
why is that train making that ridiculous sound at 8:20 ?
The train at 10:03 sounds like Athens Metro
Not within the foreseeable future. Vancouver doesn't have the population for non-stop expresses on Skytrain yet. The only non-stop trains on Skytrain are the occasional "Not in Service" movements.
I was on the platform and I was all jittery and wobbly
don't drink so much
Which ones are the trains that don't have a rounded front? (Like at 1:11) Are those the Mark 1?
They look and sound EXACTLY like the trains on Detroit's People Mover, which circles the downtown area.
Knightmessenger they are
I love the TransLink SkyTrain, unfortunately due to increase in taxes and real estate prices in Metro Vancouver, I can’t stay.
@Welwyn22 That's OK. :)
This train sounds like the srt o_o
I'm from Toronto....where and who drives/operates these trains? It looks like there is no actual driver
As I understand it the goal is to give them a mid-life modernization rather than replace them. Translink's 2010 five year plan mentioned this but did not estimate cost. The Mark I's apparently have a 50 year or so expected life span so really they are just middle-aged right now.
I went to and from Metrotown today on a Mark I and they seemed as solid now as they were during Expo 86, and just as much fun too!
i like it
Great
Used to know someone who's cousin drives these, and I got offered to drive one (I'm only 12 I'm not lying)
There's no drivers for these...
Dark realms Productions that's the SRT in Toronto; the SkyTrain is automated!
...or did your friend's cousin go on a tour of the maintenance yard near Edmonds Station in Burnaby?
Soo... in British Columbia there's a train just like the ttc srt
Tybone Gaming Yes, and Detroit has one too. All three systems are nearly identical in operations, except the TTC SRT is manually operated, while TransLink's Skytrain (and the Detroit PPM I believe) is usually automatically controlled by computer, though can also be manually operated.
I ride the YRT TTC train to get to Scarborough Town Center!
+Welwyn22 the Scarborough srt is automatic my dad works for ttc
SRTs have driver.
I like trains.
The Mark I's are the coolest. And they make me feel young. ;)
Canada line were built by Hyundai Rotem not Samsung.
You know I live in Metro Vancouver and I like new ones to feel comfortable better and more secured with security cams, labels, etc..
That's it?
Mark I's are the coolest, I hate how the Canada Line trains go IMO pretty slow
if u come here from the reddit post u lost the game 8:53
they seem flimsy
Skytrain words says Canada
my b day is this day
29ave Renfrew Waterfront Edmonds
Trains
that drive themselves
The Canada-Line trains is often crowded it seem that it is over capacity there is no room for expansion ! Stations are too short to accommodate a longer trains.. My take was it was push ahead for the 2010 Olympics and not planned for the greater Vancouver future in population growth.
I quite agree with you wholeheartedly. The Canada Line was built to provide a fast link between Downtown, the Airport and Richmond during the Olympics, and it was figured it would be big enough. Unfortunately when TransLink truncated every express bus route out of Downtown to Bridgeport it basically funneled everybody onto the Canada Line, which now at peak times is overcrowded.
Welwyn22 The Canada line trains are also not compatible with the other trains. They also lack the power of the other trains and aren't as efficient. Maybe in the future they can retrofit the line with longer stations and run linear induction motors to bring the Canada Line up to the same standards as the other lines
I doubt they would do this, having spent as much as they did to build the line in the first place. One option they are exploring is fitting a third car to the existing trains which may ease some overcrowding until the platforms can be extended for double-length trains.
Welwyn22 TransLink once said that Canada Line trains are short, but they will come frequently. BUT they arrive each 2.5 minutes AT RUSH HOUR. When the expo line and millennium line arrive at each 45 seconds at rush hour
6mins per branch 3mins bridgeport to waterfront
MK1's all the way!!!
after watching this Toronto's RT why arnt thy using there's trains they run like the RT in fact they run better
The curve at Kennedy is too sharp for Mk2 or Mk3 trains, it would have to be rebuilt. The RT will be shutting down in 2 years.
@@Welwyn22 That’s a shame because Vancouver ‘s got some really nice Mark one Mark to and Mark three trains they’re awesome. In fact the mark one train seems to run way better than the TTC train
nevermind...(:0)
the translink trains are fantastic ,the sounds looks like the rotem trains of athens
I like the newer Mark II's better because they are just generally more comfortable, but the Mark I's just sound way more interesting.
Wow skytrain is so awesome!!! /watch?v=sts25IzK0Xk
Expo line is terrible...they don't have money or something?
And come on !! you guys still using paper tickets !?
It's not good for envirement !!!
Do something special like Tokyo and Taipei metro.
