The project agreement actually answers a couple of questions that have come up today:
Normal Operations
A. The normal operations for the LRT lines will be a right-hand-running trains operating between the terminal stations at Fairview Mall and Conestoga Mall. Each train will stop at each LRT Stop on its route. When the trains are within Semi Exclusive Roadway Right of Way, reverse running is not permitted under normal operations. When the trains are within Semi Exclusive LRT Right of Way and under ATP reverse running is possible within the limits of Project Co design for Train Control Systems and procedures established for reverse running.
B. The normal operations for the LRT shall include the incorporation of one northbound movement of freight railroad service during evening off peak LRT service hours.
Contingent Operations
A. Project Co shall design the LRT System for contingent operations to address conditions that may result from failure management and maintenance-related operations. Reverse running within Semi Exclusive Roadway Right of Way may be necessary to remove failed trains or to use the turnback crossovers located near the Pine Street and Cedar Street stations as part of revenue service contingent operations. The design of the traffic control signals shall assist in reverse running at these designated turnback locations.
B. The continent operations for the LRT shall include the incorporation of one southbound movement of freight railroad service during off peak LRT service morning hours.
Central Control Facility (CCF)
(i) System Operating Criteria and normal hours of operations for the System shall be as set forth in the Project Agreement. Refer to the Baseline Service Plans found in Schedule 15-3, Appendix D for train schedules. Due to railroad operations on the Waterloo Spur, Project Co shall not operate revenue service LRT trains on the track section occupied by freight railroad trains after 1:00 am and before 5:00 am on weekdays. For greater clarity, Project Co may operate test or maintenance trains (for snow and ice clearing) between 1:00 AM and 5:00 PM provided there is no freight trains occupying the tracks. Project Co shall single track or control train movements on up to four designated week days that permit this freight railroad movement.

Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
