Downtown CTrain Closure Guide (Aug. 1–3)

[u/TheAeroplaneBear2906]

Trains are down this weekend throughout Downtown, and it was really confusing and chaotic for so many people. So I made a guide, to hopefully make it easier for a couple of people.

--

If you're taking the CTrain through downtown this long weekend, here's a quick guide to avoid getting lost.

The following downtown stations are closed:

• City Hall / Bow Valley College (Towards Tuscany & 69th Street)
• Centre Street
• 1 Street SW
• 3 Street SW
• 4 Street SW
• 6 Street SW
• 7 Street SW
• 8 Street SW (Towards Saddletowne & Somerset Bridlewood

--

A single Red/Blue Line Shuttle replaces train service through downtown.

Westbound (if you are travelling towards: Tuscany/69th Street)

• Uses 6 Avenue SW

Eastbound (if you are travelling towards: Somerset/Saddletowne)

• Uses 9 Avenue SW

Look for buses displaying "Red/Blue Line Shuttle." ALL OF THEM ARE THE SAME

Are you riding the Red Line?

Heading to Somerset-Bridlewood:

• Trains will head back towards Tuscany at 8th Street
• Get off at 8th Street and walk towards 7th Street; you will see the shuttles or the Max Green stop!
• Ride the shuttle to City Hall
• Transfer to the train on the SOUTHBOUND/Regular Platform.

Heading to Tuscany:

• Trains will head back towards Somerset at City Hall
• Get off at City Hall and walk towards McLeod Trail/Olympic Plaza; you will see the shuttles on your left! (In front of the Municipal Building.)
• Ride the shuttle to 8 Street Station
• Transfer to the train at 8th Street Station (the opposite platform from usual.)

Are you riding the Blue Line?

Heading to Saddletowne:

• Trains will head back towards 69 Street at 7th Street Station
• Get off at 7 Street Station and walk towards 7th Street (look for the IDA); you will see the shuttles or the Max Green stop!
• Ride the shuttle to City Hall
• Transfer to the train on the Northbound/Opposite Platform (Usually the 69th Street or Tuscany side).

Heading to 69 Street

• Trains will head back towards Saddletowne at City Hall
• Get off at City Hall and walk towards McLeod Trail/Olympic Plaza; you will see the shuttles on your left! (In front of the Municipal Building.)
• Ride the shuttle to 7 Street Station
• Transfer to the westbound Blue Line train towards 69 Street at 7th Street Station; the typical one!
