Recap of C Line non-regular service periods for the past couple of years
This is a post I've been wanting to make for a while, to simply recap what C line riders have had to put up with for the past couple of years. Below is a table of periods over the past 3 years in which I could find a source for a maintenance period or closure of stations on the C line. Most of it I compiled by searching through this sub for any post about the C line flaired as "Service Advisory". This shouldn't be taken as an exhaustive list. If I had searched other sources, I probably could have come up with a more complete list but I've already not posted this for a while and I didn't want to spend forever searching through old links. Again, most of the point is to show what C line riders have had to put up with over the past few years (and unfortunately, what we will likely continue having to put up with).
