CTrain Service Information

Sept 5-7: Banff Trail to University (Single Tracking)

Affected routes: Red Line

Affected stations: Banff Trail, University

Affected service hours:
Friday, September 5 (8:15 p.m. to end of service)
Saturday, September 6 (all day)
Sunday, September 7 (all day)

What to expect:

These stations will NOT be fully closed, this is a partial closure.

The southbound track will be closed at Banff Trail and University stations for maintenance work starting at 8:15 p.m. on Friday, September 5 until the early hours of Monday, September 8.

This means the trains will only be using one track at these stations for travel in both directions. Whether you’re heading northbound towards Tuscany, or southbound towards City Centre/Somerset-Bridlewood, you will need to catch the train via the northbound side of the platform (the one heading away from City Centre).

Keep an eye on the station digital displays and listen for station announcements to ensure you’re using the correct side.

Full CTrain service will be back up and running again by start of service Monday, September 8.

Why are we doing this?

When looking at the work that needs to be done at (or between) specific stations, we always try to see if closing just one side of the tracks is a safe, effective, and available option. Also known as “single tracking”, this type of closure allows us to complete the important work while also keeping train traffic moving!

This weekend’s repair and maintenance projects include:

• Concrete retaining wall repairs in the Crowchild Tunnel,
• and other projects, as time allows.
