CTrain Service Information

July 26-27: Marlborough to Franklin (Single Tracking)

Affected routes: Blue Line

Affected stations: Marlborough, Franklin

Affected service hours:
Saturday, July 26 (all day)
Sunday, July 27 (all day)

What to expect:

These stations will NOT be fully closed, this is a partial closure.

The westbound track will be closed at Marlborough and Franklin stations for construction work starting Saturday, July 26 until start of service on Monday, July 28.

This means the trains will only be using one track at these stations for travel in both directions. Whether you’re heading northeast towards Saddletowne, or southwest towards City Centre/69 Street, you will need to catch the train via the eastbound side of the platforms (the one heading toward Saddletowne).

Keep an eye on the station digital displays and listen for station announcements to ensure you’re using the correct side.

Full CTrain service on the Blue Line will be back up and running again by start of service Monday, July 28.

Why are we doing this?

When looking at the work that needs to be done at (or between) specific stations, we always try to see if closing just one side of the tracks is a safe, effective, and available option. Also known as “single tracking”, this type of closure allows us to complete the important work while also keeping train traffic moving!

This weekend’s repair and maintenance projects include:

• Tunnel lighting replacement in the 36 Street NE tunnel,
• and other projects, as time allows.
