The head of OC Transpo is standing firm that the north-south Trillium Line will open sometime this spring, despite the transit authority having extended the timeline for opening until at least early summer.
The City of Ottawa's new Stadler FLIRT train system is seen during an unveiling event at Walkley Yard in Ottawa, Ont. on Friday, July 15, 2022. The new train system will be used in Stage 2 of the Light Rail Transit expansion project and will work to serve 24 train stations throughout the city.
Amilcar insisted the training was going 'very well' and they are working to debug any glitches in their systems. OC Transpo officials had previously said the O-Train Line 2 would open in the spring of 2024, but Ottawa's director of rail operations Michael Morgan told councillors last month that training and trial running will delay the launch until late June or early July at the earliest.
Amilcar says a formal update to council on the Trillium Line will be provided during April's transit commission meeting.Ottawa police searching for missing 12-year-old boy'Your city is here with you': Ottawa honours the six victims of Barrhaven's mass killingFormer U.S.
