Operators

[edit]

Who is operating the line? As I understand it Transed operates the SE leg for 30 years but Marigold is building the W leg, so do they share operations with transed, or is the city the operator of that section. P# projects are confusing. 198.48.136.149 (talk) 10:02, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Track gauge

[edit]

The Track gauge presumably is 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+12 in)? Peter Horn User talk 22:51, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I see no reason for them to use anything other than Standard Gauge, no. Radagast (talk) 14:04, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]


Platform length

[edit]

Is there something newer/better than: "Platform lengths shall be sufficiently long to accommodate the longest Train required to operate at the Maximum Service Level, and shall not be less than 90m. " on p. 18 of 57 of .pdf with page number 5-13 with footer "Edmonton Valley Line LRT – Stage 1 Project Agreement – Execution Version Schedule 5 – D&C Performance Requirements - Part 5 Facilities Date: February 8, 2016"

– The Edmonton LRT line is the only topic actually named "Valley Line". The current disambiguation list can be moved, much like how Metro Line and Metro line are currently titled. 162.208.168.92 (talk) 21:19, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Valley Line stop articles

[edit]

In accordance with WP:GNG, the street-level stops on the Valley Line fail to meet notability and thus don’t deserve their own articles. This is common practice in other tram/light rail systems, such as the with the future light rail stations of the Toronto subway and the T Line in Tacoma. Davies station can remain since it is a properly grade-separated station, however. The existing surface stop articles can be redirected to the main Valley Line article, with any and all relevant information from each being merged into the main article. Thoughts?

They're no less notable than the Capital Line or Metro Line stops, I don't see how you can delete one and not the other. Whether it's a grade-separated station or not is irrelevant; WP:GNG is only interested in "significant coverage in reliable sources" which, honestly, is quite light for all these stations. 162 etc. (talk) 17:23, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There are a number of surface-only LRT systems that have individual articles for their stations; another Canadian example would be Ion rapid transit. I really feel these should be looked at on a system-by-system basis. Radagast (talk) 23:10, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
