ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(03-24-2016, 10:21 AM)Canard Wrote: The gap looks okay (our trains are chubby!), but I had the very same thought about the platform relative to rail height.  The Northbound platform (on the other side) to the rail base is even higher, but there's no track or ballast there so it looks really high.

If I get adventurous on the weekend, I'll bring my tape measure and compare to R+T Park or the stop on Caroline.  Worst case they have to re-tamp a bit of ballast under it, if it's a bit off.
I'm sure it has been calculated properly, I never suggested it was off... it just visually seems that way. Also, I also meant higher relative to the surrounding park... I am assuming the platform is exactly at the street level of Seagram Dr.?
