Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Fri. October 2nd, 2026

View descriptionShare
 

If you’ve been waiting forever to ride the train to Orleans, you’ll sadly have to wait a little bit longer. The signs to Trim Station may be up, but it’s looking highly unlikely that the train will run all the way there by the end of 2026. And then, we got an update on the LRT East Extension this afternoon. Once again, it’s another delay, and this one is being caused by software issues. The City of Ottawa says the pre-trial running period, originally scheduled for sometime this month, cannot take place until November. Hitachi, the subcontractor that handles this, says it has to update its software before the system can proceed further – work that requires ‘re-programming’. River Ward councillor Riley Brockington, who works on Ottawa’s Transit Committee, has already been acclaimed for the next term of council. He joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 3. Then, we turn things over to the mighty CFRA Nation. Are you frustrated by this development, or are you relieved that this regime is doing everything they can to get this done correctly?
