O-Train will be out of service all day on Saturday and Sunday between 8-10 a.m. [Video]

The O-Train will be out of service all day on Saturday and for two additional hours on Sunday as part of work to integrate the Stage 2 East extension with the existing LRT line.

OC Transpo previously announced the O-Train will be shut down all day on Saturday to allow officials to work on integrating the LRT line with the Stage 2 extension between Blair Station and Trim Road. On Friday, OC Transpo general manager Renee Amilcar said the O-Train shutdown will continue until 10 a.m. on Sunday.

“This will provide Rideau Transit Maintenance (RTM) with additional time to prepare the necessary trains for service,” Amilcar said.
