Ottawa Transit Services has announced disruptions for testing at the east-end extension of LRT.
To allow for Stage 2 east extension integration work, Ottawa Line 1 will operate between Tunney’s Pasture and Tremblay stations on Aug. 16 and Aug. 17, with R1 service operating between Hurdman and Blair stations.
Line 1 service will start at noon on Aug. 31, with R1 running from Tunney’s Pasture Station to Blair Station in the morning.
Testing and commissioning work has been progressing well during the summer, OC Transpo said in a memo Tuesday.
“This progress has allowed us to connect key systems to the existing Line 1 segment, including the closed-circuit television cameras (CCTV), remote supervisory and control system, intrusion access system and update software on all trains in the fleet,” the memo stated. “This progress allows the training and familiarization for electric rail operators to advance, and customers and residents can expect to see more trains operating on the east alignment as a result.”
OC Transpo also said it understands and appreciates the disruption that the service adjustments will cause and thanked customers for their patience.
