5 things to know about the Trillium Line's new Stadler trains ottnews ottawa
Trains for revamped Trillium Line arrive in OttawaOttawa Mayor Jim Watson says the new diesel trains for the north-south Trillium Line are more spacious than the electric trains on the Confederation Line and are expected to be up and running next year.delivered a number of shocking details, it's nice to have some good rail news: the Swiss-made Stadler FLIRT trains bound for the Trillium Line are in the city, ready to go, in plenty of time for lots of testing.
When it comes to these trains, forget everything you've heard in the past month — or ever, really — about the Confederation Line light rail system or the electric vehicles that run on it.LRT Stage 2 expansion needs $60M in extra funding immediately Mayor Jim Watson and other officials — including, from left to right, Coun. Allan Hubley, MP Marie-France Lalonde, Stadler US COO Stefan Baer and TNext project manager Janos Fulde — welcomed the media into the Walkley maintenance and storage facility to view the new Stadler FLIRT train that will operate on the Trillium Line when it's completed.The new Stadlers are decked out in OC Transpo colours — shiny red on the outside, with blue seats inside.
In the future, if the city wanted to stop using diesel altogether, the power pack car could be removed and a pantograph system — like the one used on the Confederation Line — could be installed. And Stadler has a hydrogen version under development as well. The transit authority in San Bernadino, Texas has already ordered one, although the new train isn't expected to be ready until 2024.
