I wish I could so bad but I am working ?, but if it were a m line train, I could wait for it after my shift !!
Are you retiring the mark 1s?
Ryan: The Mark I’s are not being retired. The Mark III’s are the expanding fleet for the entire SkyTrain system.
Is Mark III service starting in general that day, or is it only one run for the open house?
Hi Ian,
After the event, the train will go into regular service and continue throughout the service day.
Thanks!
