It's now been confirmed that the pocket track won't have double switches on both ends as shown in the site drawings. Translinks post was correct (as suspected)
That's really unfortunate. I like the convenience of the double switches. Maybe they did a cost analysis, and it couldn't be justified. Thanks for the update. I'm glad that I scrolled down.
The future Surrey OMC has been found to be located at 17916 Fraser Highway as someone found the sale and transferred of the land title to the BC Transit Finance Corporation or something like that.
Accidental jab at Toronto with the bus bridge callout lol Scarborough subway isn't opening for another 3 years at least. It's bus bridges all the way til then.
@@eugenetswong I got lucky and had one of the trains that's specifically designed for Amtrak Cascades and it was SUPER nice. The cars are apparently designed to tilt a little bit which made bumps and stuff less of an issue. Best way to travel, especially internationally! Highly recommend!
@@eugenetswong they seem to run deals on it every now and then. Make sure you keep a look out for those! My one way ticket from Vancouver to Seattle was $50 for regular price reference point
Don't worry, I plan on covering it once construction starts. @thegreaterdiscussion has a great video overviewing the current status and history of the project. Highly recommend checking it out!
So that's why we had a delay going into Lougheed the other day when I was visiting vancouver. We stayed near Gilmore and rode from Gimore to Comercial and Broadway, Then Expoed to Science world, Then Expoed to Waterfront, took our 5 year old on Seabus, Then Expoed back around to Production way to Mellenium back to Gilmore because we thought that going this way gave our son more time on the train and beat rush hour passengers going out of town.

There was no accident
To be fair, I was unaware of that, I just thought about how awful that would be.
These videos are top dollar.
Great videos! Keep 'em coming :) I would love to see this channel start blowing up.
Got a chance to pass by the site on Amtrak Cascades the other week. Was fun seeing bits of construction through the freight cars on the other side
How was the ride? I get the impression that it runs smoothly.

@@TheGreaterDiscussions I so desperately wanted to try it, but the price turned me off. I'll save up for it, and make it a bucket list item.
