CTrain Service Information

Aug 2-4: Lions Park to 7 Street/8 Street closure

Affected routes: Red Line

Affected stations: Lions Park, SAIT/AUArts/Jubilee, Sunnyside, 8 Street, 7 Street

Affected service hours:
Saturday, August 2 (all day)
Sunday, August 3 (all day)
Monday, August 4 (all day)

What to expect:

The Red Line will be closed between Lions Park and 7 Street/8 Street stations starting Saturday, August 2, until the early hours of Tuesday, August 5.

Red Line trains coming from the south and downtown will terminate at 7 Street Station for northbound travel, and trains coming from the northwest will terminate at Lions Park Station. For travel between downtown and Lions Park Station, we’ll have Red Line replacement shuttle buses replacing train service:

  • SOUTHBOUND: from Lions Park Station to 8 Street Station
  • NORTHBOUND: from 7 Street Station to Lions Park Station

Blue Line service WILL NOT be impacted by this closure. Full CTrain service will be back up and running again by start of service on Tuesday, August 5.

Why are we doing this?

We know these closures can have an impact on your travel, which is why we try to keep them as minimally disruptive as possible. That’s also why they’re so important – because doing preventative work and maintenance now can ensure we’re providing Calgarians with a safe, reliable, and efficient transit system.

Some work can be completed while keeping the trains on track, but there are certain projects that are just too big, or can’t share the space safely while trains are in service, and they require fully closing off sections of the line. Occasionally, a power cut is required to carry out specific work, which also means we need to close the line to train travel.

This weekend’s repair and maintenance projects include:

  • Replacement work on the Sunnyside crossover,
  • Ongoing work on the SAIT pedestrian crossing,
  • and other projects, as time allows.

Thank you for your patience during these closures!
