Interlude: Some Downtown C-Train Diagrams




Figured that my Gentle Readers* out there in the blogosphere could use a little respite from densely-worded narratives today in favour of some more diagrams. So here you go.
Starting from how the C-Train's downtown service looked on opening day in May 1981...



...we'll move on to how things look downtown right now, with future platform renovations not yet complete...

...and carry on from there to see how the downtown would look with the north-to-southeast Line 203 and with metro construction on Lines 201 and 202...

...and finish things off with a nice colour shot of how the downtown could look by 2040 with all the LRT service this burg could use in place:



"But what is this?" my Gentle Readers** enquire. "What of this peculiar 'Line 206' of which we've heard nothing at all ever before?"

Stay tuned for a future post answering that very question. Your regularly scheduled light rail development rant is forthcoming very soon.
UPPITY DATE: By special request, the diagrams are now scalable! Woo-hoo!
