Temporary single tracking coming to portion of Canada Line next week
Changes necessary to allow for next phase of Capstan Station construction
NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C. – As construction of the new Capstan Station continues, service on a portion of the Canada Line will be temporarily adjusted to allow for crews to work safely. Starting April 26, there will be single tracking from Bridgeport to Richmond–Brighouse.
These changes will most impact customers travelling to and from Richmond–Brighouse, Aberdeen, and Lansdowne stations. Customers travelling between all other Canada Line stations may also notice a slight difference in travel times.
