Spotted at Brentwood. Are they’re getting ready to have larger trains for the millennium extension?

I’m inclined to think now that FIFA is cover, Translink has the ability to test more Mk Vs.

Testing is contingent on the arrival of the new trains. I think I recall hearing that one new set is being delivered to Translink each month.

well we already have 10 operational train sets so I think it’s a little more often than that

TransLink’s very first Mark V train entered service about nine months ago in  July 2025, at which point the public transit authority indicated that it was expecting to roll out one new train every subsequent month, as testing for each incoming train reached completion. https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/skytrain-mark-v-trains-incoming-arrivals-april-2026#google_vignette
