SKYTRAIN SERVICE CHANGES SHOULD ENSURE NO
DIFFICULTIES FOR CAMPAIGN BC MARCHERS HEADING TO
SATURDAY'S MARCH AND RALLY IN VANCOUVER

Despite track maintenance work that will alter
Skytrain schedules on Saturday, May 25, there will be
special efforts made to ensure adequate capacity for
travellers who want to take part in Campaign BC's
major march through the downtown core, TransLink
officials confirmed today.

"Everyone interested in the march should be assured
they will get to Stadium Skytrain station with no
difficulty," said B.C. Federation of Labour President
Jim Sinclair, who warned yesterday that most of
Burrard and Georgia would be closed for the
demonstration on Saturday morning.

"There will be service to Burrard, but it will be
somewhat reduced, so unions marshalling at those
points should take this into account."

Capacity will be increased to a train every 3
minutes, 40 seconds West of Columbia, which will
increase the normal weekend capacity by 20 percent. 
Extra trains will be added between Stadium and the
King George and Braid Street Skytrain stations.

Unions taking part in the march from Victory Square
and Library Square should disembark at Stadium
station, as planned.  Those meeting at Burrard
Station should know that, although the frequency of
the trains will be reduced, Skytrain officials will
be running six car trains between Stadium and Burrard
stations.
