Metro Line still hasn't moved forward after one year in operation
It’s been one year since the long delayed Metro LRT Line opened its doors and started accepting passengers, but trains are no closer to running at full speed, or full frequency.
CBC looks back at the troubled Metro Line's first year in operation
It's been one year since the long delayed Metro LRT Line opened its doors and started accepting passengers, but trains are no closer to running at full speed, or full frequency.
Since Sept. 6, 2015, the city has been forced to run the trains at half speed due to safety issues caused by software provided by the signalling system contractor, Thales.
At the time, city staff and council hoped to have a solution in place by the end of 2015. Now, a year later, the city is still looking for a fix.
During her last update on the project, City Manager Linda Cochrane said after nearly two-and-a-half years of delays, the city will no longer put deadlines on the project.
The soonest the line is expected to run at full speed and frequency is 2017.
