VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - When the early snow hit in November, the Canada Line couldn't take it. Trains got stuck in Richmond. But that problem is not expected to happen again.
Jason Chan with Protrans, the company that manages the system, says their de-icing equipment malfunctioned.
"We have subsequently worked with a supplier and made modifications to the equipment, and we're confident the build up of the snow on the power rail shouldn't happen again," he asserts.
But TransLink is still urging people to be prepared for the weather. Service could be affected Wednesday, depending on how much snow actually falls Tuesday night.
