Train Lines 2, 4 To ‘Pause’ For Maintenance
This is a release from the City of Ottawa.
Good morning Mayor and Members of Council,
As part of our commitment to transparency, I am writing to inform you of work that will be taking place over the next few days on O-Train Lines 2 and 4 that will see a temporary pause in train movements between October 28 and October 30.
During this time, we will be suspending train movements so that TransitNext can safely conduct minor construction activities, including track maintenance, graffiti removal, and other works required as we work towards achieving Substantial Completion. This is planned work and an important step to advance us on the path to passenger service on Lines 2 and 4.
We will be releasing a Memo to Council later today to provide an update on the work completed over the weekend that closed out the second phase of Trial Running. That memo will also speak to next steps.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you,
Renée Amilcar
General Manager, Transit Services Department

Am I the only one who does not understand the O-Train numbering scheme. Line 1 is the east-west Confederation Line. Line 2 is the north-south Trillium Line. Line 4 is the spur line to the Airport from South Keys. But what happened to Line 3? Is there a secret Line 3 somewhere?
Is Line 3 the extension of Line 1 from Blair to Orleans?
Brocklebank,
Maybe Line 3 actually works so they’re keeping it under wraps so as not to make Lines 1, 2 and 4 feel bad. It could also be that the great minds at OC Transpo don’t know how to count and are, in fact, unaware that there is a number called “3” that comes between 2 and 4. If that’s the case, it would explain a whole raft of other things which have thus far appeared to be inexplicable.
The Voter:
First think that comes to mind reading your comment is the Monty Python Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch bit. ‘Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out.’
Kind of appropriate considering we’re talking about OC Transpo here.
