Ah, that sounds about right. And it must have been the terminus when I lived there.

No, of course not. They are testing trains at the moment. Summer 2024??? The previous spring opening is not likely happening, at least not April.

So it is about 6 weeks until phase 2 of Ottawa’s lrt opens adding 13 stations and 8 kms to the system. This has been a great year for Canadian rail systems as Edmonton and Montreal also opened new lines. Now we just have to get Finch and Eglinton open!

Let's hope the Stadler's have a bit more success than the Alstom Citadis...

Not sure if "great" is the word I would use.
Ottawa is plagued with issues. Montreal is having issues as well. Edmonton is seeing lower than expected ridership.

Travelled on the Confederation Line for the first time.
One thing that surprised me was how worn the underground stations look, despite being only four years old.

Cheap finish here, this should be tile all the way down to the escalator, that looks terrible.
Water damage. Would look less bad with tile all the way up.
They obviously had some kind of mat stuck to the floor, this can be buffed off.

Everything with the Ottawa system was designed by suburban committee to save costs, and these are the stations that are not exposed to the elements. I haven't paid much attention but next time i'm out i'll check to see how much the salt they have to put down is eating away at the outdoor platforms.
For only being four years old it's really, really showing it. Nobody was happier with this warmer winter than the folks responsible for the system.
