The escalators at Granville Station are the longest in Metro Vancouver, and were at the front of the cue for a 13-station program to replace escalators that were more than three decades old
One of the escalators replaced three years ago at Granville SkyTrain Station malfunctioned in late September, leaving three people with unspecified injuries.
Joshi said the escalator is maintained and managed by the manufacturer and TransLink hopes it will be back operating by the end of the week. Granville Station was the start of a 13-station program to replace 37 Expo Line and West Coast Express escalators that are more than 30 years old. A year ago, TransLink began to replace five escalators at Burrard Station in a project that is scheduled to be completed in spring 2024.
TransLink’s safety report does not separate onboard and off-board injuries. The customer injury rate on the Expo and Millennium lines have fluctuated above and below the rate of one customer injury claim per million boardings since 2018.
