CTrain Service Information
Aug 8-10: City Hall/Bow Valley College to Marlborough closure
Affected routes: Blue Line
Affected stations: City Hall/Bow Valley College, Bridgeland/Memorial, Zoo, Barlow/Max Bell, Franklin, Marlborough
Affected service hours:
Friday, August 8 (8 p.m. to end of service)
Saturday, August 9 (all day)
Sunday, August 10 (all day)
What to expect:
The Blue Line will be closed between City Hall/Bow Valley College and Marlborough stations starting at 8 p.m. on Friday, August 8 until the very early hours of Monday, August 11.
Trains coming from the west and downtown will terminate at City Hall/Bow Valley College Station. And trains from the northeast will terminate at Marlborough. For all those stations in between, we’ll have three shuttle bus routes replacing train service:
- Regular CTrain Replacement Shuttle buses will visit all stations from City Hall/Bow Valley College to Marlborough - except Zoo Station (see #3). These shuttles run every 10 minutes. View map
- EXPRESS Shuttle buses will provide direct service between City Hall/Bow Valley College and Marlborough stations only, with no other stops in between, running every 10 minutes, staggered with the regular shuttle service. View map
- Customers heading to Zoo Station will need to catch a separate shuttle from Bridgeland/Memorial Station (shuttle stop located a block north of the station, on 9 St NE just south of McDougall Rd NE) – this shuttle will travel between Zoo and Bridgleand/Memorial only, running every 20 minutes.

Full CTrain service will be back up and running again by start of service on Monday, August 11.
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, we have a number of repair and maintenance projects on the list, including:
- Continuation of lighting replacement in the 36 Street Tunnel
- Work on the Bridgeland pedestrian bridge
- Memorial Dr maintenance work
- Signals safety improvements
- and other projects, as time allows
Thank you for your patience during these closures!
