Map of existing and under-construction O-Train system
The O-Train is a light-rail transit (LRT) system in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada operated by OC Transpo consisting of three lines and 25 stations. Line 1 is fully grade-separated and consists of 13 stations including 4 underground stations. Line 2 is a diesel light-rail transit (DLRT) service. The present line runs north–south on a railway line, from Bayview to Limebank, a distance of approximately 19 kilometres (12mi) and consisting of 11 stations. It is isolated from road traffic, but shared with other trains; after operating hours the track has been infrequently used by Ottawa Central for freight service to the National Research Council.
The city has also begun planning future expansions including an extension to Kanata and Barrhaven. The environmental assessment for the Kanata extension, which could see up to 8 stations added, was completed in April 2018.[2] A study to extend the line into Barrhaven is also underway with a preliminary alignment presented on October 30, 2019.[3][4] On September 9, 2020, the selected alignment was presented for an online consultation. The updated alignment included the selection of an elevated guideway between Tallwood and Nepean Sportsplex station.[4]
As part of the Stage 2 extensions, accommodations are also being made for several future infill stations including three on Line 2 between Limebank and Bowesville, and three on the extended Line 1 and 3.[5][6]
