I'm here to steal Stainer's clout! Just saw this get posted.

Hope you all like it!

One thing I missed completely are the holes that have been drilled in the guideway for what I can only assume will be track pads. Starts at 1:06 in.

Always enjoy those videos. Thank you for all the work you put in to them.

I'd also be wondering how they would avoid disruptions to service when the UBC line eventually happens. Nice to finally have an answer.

You mention 60m kill tracks. Does it not need to be 80m (thus being able to accommodate a full-sized train) or is that taken into account?

I don't believe they're spec'd as train storage, just for construction buffer when the next extension is built.

As a terminus station Arbutus will be single platform operation so a train can be stored on the not in use platform.

That's a great question that I would love to ask a project engineer. But for some reason, the province seems to be against sharing information with video creators on "security" reasons

The tail tracks are probably for emergency stopping distance.
There's a switch before the station, so the trains don't need to go past the platform during operations.

They started to install the rail on the elevated guideway
