TransLink Write-In details

First off, thanks to Jhenifer Pabillano of the TransLink Buzzer Blog for the shout-out! (:

We are going to be starting the SkyTrain Write-in at Waterfront Station by meeting in the CP station just before 1pm, just inside the doors off Cordova Street. Look for the Starbucks, Jugo Juice and SkyTrain ticket vending machines. Alternatively, look for the ML in the terrifyingly bright Traffic-Cone Yellow shirt. He will probably be wearing a fleece over it though, so if that fails, look for the large group of people with notebooks, both electronic and lined. We will be heading down to the platform of choice just after one, so make sure you have enough time to meet with us when you set out. Track maintenance on the Expo line means that trips coming from New Westminster, Delta, Surrey and Langley may take an extra 15 minutes, so make sure you’ve accounted for it!

Our journey through the system will be played by ear and will probably last for more than 90 minutes (the duration of a ‘regular’ fare) and will probably get to each of the Expo, Millennium and Canada Lines at least once. We will be posting periodic updates of our location and car numbers to the VancoWrimo Twitter account, if you’d like to pick us up later – it might be a bit tricky though. The track maintenance in the New Westminster station area shouldn’t impact us a whole lot, since we’re not really in a hurry to get anywhere.
