O-Train Line 2 first opened on October 15, 2001, and featured 5 stations from Bayview in the north to Greenboro in the south. The O-Train is quickly being expanded to add additional service coverage in the East, West and South of Ottawa, in a project called Stage 2 LRT. In this video, we will be providing an overview of the Southern Extension of O-Train Line 2, which will extend service south to Limebank in Riverside South, as well as the Airport Link (or Line 4) that will service the Ottawa International Airport. 

This project will increase the length of Line 2 from 8km to 20km and feature a total of 11 new and existing stations. An interesting particularity of this segment is that it will feature several elevated segments along the line. A separate spur line, Line 4 or the Airport Link, will run between the South Keys Station and the Airport, providing an O-Train connection between the Airport terminal and the rest of the O-Train network. It will feature a length of 4km and have 3 stations (including South Keys). 

O-Train Line 1 (Stage 1) opened on September 14, 2019, and featured 13 stations from Blair in the east to Tunney's Pasture in the west. The O-Train is quickly being expanded to add additional service coverage in the East, West and South of Ottawa, in a project called Stage 2 LRT. This video will provide an overview of the Western Extension of O-Train Line 1, which will extend service West of Tunney's Pasture station to Moodie (near Kanata) and Algonquin (in Nepean). 

Stage 2 will see O-Train Line 1 split into two lines, Line 1 and Line 3. The main difference will be west of Lincoln Fields station where the line splits into two: Line 1, which continues to Algonquin Station to the Southwest, and Line 3, which continues to Moodie Station to the west. This line extension will be 15km in length and add 11 stations to Line 1 and Line 3. An interesting particularity of this segment is that it will feature several tunnel segments in the alignment. Once completed, local bus routes will be realigned to directly serve the nearest O-Train station, thereby providing a quick and convenient connection to the O-Train and the rest of the city.

O-Train Line 1 (Stage 1) opened on September 14, 2019, and featured 13 stations from Blair in the east to Tunney's Pasture in the west. The O-Train is quickly being expanded to add additional service coverage in the East, West and South of Ottawa, in a project called Stage 2 LRT. This video provides an overview of the Eastern Extension of O-Train Line 1, which will extend service East of Blair station to Trim Road in Orleans. 

This line extension will be over 12km in length and add 5 stations to Line 1. An interesting particularity of this segment is that it will be located almost entirely in the highway median of regional road 174. As a result, access to and from the stations for passengers will be via highway overpasses or underpasses and pedestrian bridges. All 5 stations will be centre platform stations. Once completed, local bus routes will be realigned to directly serve the nearest O-Train station, providing a quick and convenient connection to the O-Train and the rest of the city.

Get ready for an exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpse into the construction of the extension of O-Train Lines 1/3 in Ottawa! Scheduled to open in 2025, the eastern extension, stretching to Trim road, will introduce a new chapter in Ottawa's public transit system in Orleans. 

In this video, Rail Fans Canada got an exclusive opportunity to explore the future of transit at Jeanne d'Arc Station. The extension of O-Train Lines 1/3 promises to redefine the city's transportation landscape, with the eastern extension adding 14 kilometres of rail and 5 new stations. Additionally, we are honoured to have Bradley Cooper, Senior Engineer of Stage 2 Construction at the City of Ottawa, sharing his expertise and insights. Together, we'll better understand the construction process and the exciting amenities awaiting passengers on the expanded O-Train Lines 1/3. 

Two of the extension's standout features includes an elevated flyover east of Blair Station, and centre median stations located in the middle of Highway 174. This major project will bring the O-Train network closer to more people than ever.

Scheduled to open in 2026, the western extension, stretching to Algonquin and Moodie, will introduce a new chapter in Ottawa's public transit system, all centred around one of its more critical transfer hubs: Lincoln Fields. 

In this video, Rail Fans Canada got an exclusive opportunity to explore the future of transit at Lincoln Fields. The extension of O-Train Lines 1/3 promises to redefine the city's transportation landscape, with the western extension adding 15 kilometres of rail and 11 new stations. Additionally, we are honoured to have Mary-Ellen Gleeson, the Program Manager of the Rail Construction Program at the City of Ottawa, sharing her expertise and insights. Together, we'll better understand the construction process and the exciting amenities awaiting passengers on the expanded O-Train Lines 1/3. 

One of the extension's standout features includes two new cut-and-cover tunnels and an elevated flyover located south of Lincoln Fields where trains headed to Algonquin will split from those headed to Moodie. Those major projects will allow for frequent service between branches, bringing the O-Train network closer to more people than ever. 

Get ready for an exclusive insider's look at the exciting developments on O-Train Line 2 in Ottawa! Scheduled to reopen later in 2023, this major project is entering its final stages, with construction nearing completion and testing and commissioning in full swing. 

Rail Fans Canada had the privilege of an invitation to explore the future terminus station at Limebank, and we can't wait to share this extraordinary experience with you. The O-Train Line 2 expansion will significantly extend the line from its original 8km to an impressive 20km, with a total of 11 new and revamped stations. 

A standout feature of this expansion is the incorporation of elevated segments, adding a unique architectural flair to the overall design. But that's not all—there's an exciting bonus for travelers: the introduction of a separate spur line, Line 4, known as the Airport Link. This convenient link will connect South Keys Station to the airport, ensuring seamless access to the O-Train network for airport passengers. Line 4 stretches across 4km and boasts three stations, including South Keys. 

In this video, we take you on a captivating walkthrough tour of Limebank station, providing you with an up-close look at the future terminus. Additionally, we had the privilege of interviewing Theophilus Tettey, the Program Manager of the Rail Construction Program at the City of Ottawa. With his expertise and insights, we gain a deeper understanding of the construction process and the exciting features awaiting passengers on the expanded O-Train Line 2.
