List of O-Train stations
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Note: Carling Station has been renamed Dow's Lake station. Confederation station has been renamed to Mooney's Bay station
The O-Train is a light-rail transit (LRT) system in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada operated by OC Transpo consisting of two lines and 17 stations. The Confederation Line is fully grade-separated and consists of 13 stations including 4 underground stations. The Trillium Line is a diesel light-rail transit (DLRT) service. The present line runs north–south on a railway line, from Bayview to Greenboro, a distance of approximately 8 kilometres (5 mi) and consisting of 5 stations. It is isolated from road traffic, but shared with other trains; after operating hours the track has been infrequently used by Ottawa Central for freight service to the National Research Council.
Stage 2 will see the O-Train system expanded south, east, and west, with 24 new stations added to the existing lines.

Proposed stations
[edit]The city has also begun planning future expansions including an extension to Kanata, Barrhaven, and Fallowfield. The environmental assessment for the Kanata extension, which could see up to 8 stations added, was completed in April 2018.[3] A study to extend the line into Barrhaven is also underway with a preliminary alignment presented on October 30, 2019.[4][5] On September 9, 2020, the selected alignment was presented for an online consultation. The updated alignment included the selection of an elevated guideway between Tallwood and Nepean Sportsplex station.[5]
