What Happened: The original Expo Line has been in service for over 25 years and it's time to replace the 1100 metres of rail on the tracks around Edmonds Station. To accommodate rail replacement work, trains must alternate eastbound/outbound (to VCC/Clark & King George) and westbound/inbound (to Waterfront) service on a 5 km section of single track between Edmonds and Columbia stations, which limits the overall frequency of service across the system.
