I tried to balance out the article a bit with some criticism and mention of the pollution under the current track. Sorry, I like the O-train, but it read a bit too much like a City of Ottawa fluff piece. - Dan Carkner 04:43, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
The expansion controversies section is really getting long. I'm wondering if a separate article should be required for just that, because, there will be more developments in the upcoming weeks.-- JForget 18:07, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Using the past conditional (e.g., "would have") implies the expansion project has been canceled (or at least is in doubt). If such is not the case, then the simple tenses of the verbs in the section should be used instead. 207.69.138.13 06:09, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
The article currently states:
"Each of the three carriages has a plug-type doorway for each side of the train. Rather than all doors opening at each station, passengers must individually open the door of which they intend to board or disembark by pressing a button."
So, what is a "plug-type doorway"?

It's my understanding the O-Train, in its current form, is not "light" but actually "heavy" rail. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cjottawa ( talk • contribs) 19:42, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: page moved. Vegaswikian ( talk) 21:42, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

I added the category "Proposed public transportation in Canada" to the article. The edit was reverted with the explanation "it exists". Well of course it exists. But it exists in pilot project form. The future of the O-train is still a series of proposals and with the upcoming municipal elections the future is yet to be seen. Therefor the category "Proposed public transportation in Canada" is justifiable. UrbanNerd ( talk) 20:44, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
Bombardier Talent its not a light rail, and that system is not light rail system. 78.50.236.224 ( talk) 20:04, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
Based on a CBC report, Ottawa's city council have approved renaming the two-line system the "O-Train", with "Confederation Line" being the line 1, and the original north-south O-Train becoming the "Trillium Line" (line 2).
Consequently, this specific article needs to be changed to "Trillium Line", and a new O-Train page started to incorporate both this and the Confederation Line.

Should the information about the current line be split into a "Trillium Line" article and the system information retained? According to recent updates to the artice, that is what it is now going to be called. Secondarywaltz ( talk) 21:12, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
As of March 2nd 2015 OCTranspo has officially begun referring to "expanded o-train trillium line service" with branding for the Trillium Line that is distinct from the O-Train's branding. [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.187.34.100 ( talk) 13:35, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

I moved the page to Trillium Line, so now we need to create a new article at O-Train describing the light rail system as a whole. Links must be updated before that, of course. Conifer ( talk) 06:45, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

There may be more articles that should be changed but they will be very tedious to find as the search tools give many false hits. I am not searching any further. TheTrolleyPole ( talk) 21:01, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
I have converted over 100 articles referencing O-Train and I believe that I have changed all that should be changed. Also, in many articles I removed all but 3 section header links, many of them broken, from various articles about politicians. The remaining 3 section header links are identified by comments on the section title line within the Trillium Line article. So, are we ready to split? TheTrolleyPole ( talk) 03:09, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
A problem with WhatLinksHere to search for references to the article O-Train is that the utility displays hundreds of unwanted hits because over 500 articles use a template that references O-Train. The following link eliminates that problem producing very few unwanted hits. It came from the Wikipedia Help-Me service.
We should permanently retain this tip in the Talk page for the new O-Train article.

On the advice of the Help Desk, I will draft a new O-Train article in my sandbox extracting some sections of text from article Trillium Line. According to the Help Desk, I must give the extracted sections "attribution". After I have completed the draft, the Help Desk would install the draft to replace the current redirect in the O-Train page.
I have cataloged the sections in the Trillium Line article below to show my intentions:
I will not change the Trillium Line article until the new O-Train article is installed.
If anyone has any concerns, please let me know. It may take several days to complete the draft. TheTrolleyPole ( talk) 19:31, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
Nice job you did there. -- Voyager ( talk) 13:26, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
