History

Walkley was originally planned to be part of the initial Trillium Line which opened in 2001, but was cut for budgetary reasons before being added in the Stage 2 South expansion. [2] A passing loop was added in 2013 just north of Walkley to increase train frequency and line capacity. [3] Despite being single-tracked, the City of Ottawa has maintained that double-tracking the station is in its long-term plans.[ citation needed ]
