ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
On other LRT systems I have been on, what happens in a situation like NB at Seagram is this:

-Train approaches station at speed. Arms come down, bells/lights on.
-Once the train stops at the platform, arms go up, bells/lights off.
-When the train is ready to depart, arms go down, bells/lights come on.
-Once train clears intersection, arms go up, bells/lights off.

The reason for this is presumably so if the train blows through the station, people don’t die.

I cannot wait to see intersections like Erb/Caroline and Block Line/Courtland once things get cranking. Up down up down up down. Hahaha
