Suggestion: spliting "Red Line", "Blue Line", and "Green Line" as independent articles

Although Red Line and Blue Line share the same track system, they are independent services.

We have articles for Captial, Metro, and Valley Line of Edmonton; Confederation and Trillium Line of Ottawa; and pretty much every service in other North American metro/lightrail systems on Wikipedia. Lines of Ctrain deserve to have their own profiles.

I suggest that much of the content of the current "Ctrain" article could be moved to profiles of the lines, leaving this main article with information on the whole system and also make it a hub of information browsing. ----ZifengZ

I agree (and was going to eventually get to that), but if someone wants to ahead of me, by all means. --kelapstick^(bainuu) 23:05, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've created the Red Line (CTrain) and Blue Line (CTrain) articles, I will have to have a look at what is here, and add to it with the existing sources, but much of the material in here is way more than necessary, even for specific line articles (like for example the specifics on platform reconstruction). So it will take some parsing, but it's started anyway. --kelapstick^(bainuu) 22:10, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's a great start! One thing I would recommend would be to move the line articles to Red Line (Calgary) and Blue Line (Calgary). It would follow the WP:CANSTATION guide and be more consistent with the stations (Dalhousie station (Calgary)) and with other system's lines (Valley Line (Edmonton)).

Hmm, I had gone by what the other lines at Blue Line were (although some are a mix of the metro name, and some are city metro) convention. Related to this, there are a bunch of templates which default to (CTrain) at the end rather than (Calgary) (regardless of if disambiguation is required or not). I am not smart enough to fix that, although it would be nice to avoid defaulting to a redirect, if possible. --kelapstick^(bainuu) 19:00, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think I know how to fix the redirect problem, doing it now... BLAIXX 22:29, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Airport CTrain Link

It seems that the LRT link to the Calgary International Airport has been recommended at this point on June 24, 2020. Can someone help me whether it is a good idea to add more information about this subject? Here is the link: https://pub-calgary.escribemeetings.com/FileStream.ashx?DocumentId=133709 It starts on page 29 here. Rockies77 (talk) 06:18, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is already a section in the article (CTrain#Spur line to Calgary International Airport) with some outdated information. I say feel free to add details about the updated plans, preferably from a secondary source like this one.[1] BLAIXX 12:50, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Was this written by the mayor herself?

Seems like this hasn't been updated to reflect the less stations more cost reality. 2604:3D09:D78:1000:3269:B2BA:366C:F948 (talk) 15:28, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Green Line info outdated

The shortening of the Green Line earlier this year rendered this article out of date to begin with. Now the expected cancellation (or suspension) of the project requires some major updating. I'll be adding a similar tag to the Green Line article with the suggestion that if city council cancels it (as of this timestamp a meeting to "wind down" the project is under way which sounds pretty obvious) it be rolled into this main article. 23skidoo (talk) 16:43, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
