My brother lives in Ottawa, apparently getting tickets was a real chore on a poorly designed site and he gave up trying. Pity.

Bummer! I'll be going potentially this weekend, so I'll make sure to reserve tickets well in advance.

My Father-in-Law went last week. Apparently there is a standby line too, which got him in relatively quickly.
He sent me a couple pictures, but I think you have to be there to appreciate it.

From this week past:
Lyon Station - Above ground passenger entrance. [In addition to the entrance from Sparks St and the food court below the Marriott] Looking down at the work progressing on the future underground station. Coke

Had a bit of time to waste before my train left Ottawa, so I walked over to visit the Trembley station under construction:
The Confederation Line station as seen from the VIA Rail Station. Looking from the west side of the station. I did notice a WiFi hotspot called "OLRT Trembly". Didn't try to connect, but I wonder if they will have free WiFi on the system! Coke

They actually look not too bad. The design is growing on me (very, very slowly)

I would still like your suggestion of the continuous black windows!

At least it looks like Toronto's going to do that!

Ottawa is going to name their LRV's!

I don't understand why it looks like there's overspray between the stripes. That does look terrible, I agree.

Nice to see the final livery.
