Martindale Station

Martindale is a CTrain light rail station in Calgary, Alberta. It serves the Northeast Line (Route 202). It opened August 27, 2012. The station is one of two that was constructed as part of a 2. 9-kilometer (1. 8-mile) extension of the Northeast line from McKnight–Westwinds station to Saddletowne station. It is located in a reserved right-of-way within the community of Martindale, with the side-loading platforms to be staggered west and east of Martindale Boulevard. Due to its location in a residential area primarily serving local residents, there are no park-and-ride lots at the station nor a bus terminal, unlike most other CTrain stations in Calgary. Also, because of its location, CTrain speeds are reduced to 50 km /h (31. 06 mi /h) in the general area. Martindale is the second station in the system to use staggered platforms (the first was Shawnessy in 2004). Martindale is also closer to residential homes than any other station in the system. The opening of the Northeast extension has been delayed by almost one year as the extension was originally planned to be open in late 2011.
