I have yet to ride the newer trains but I used to commute on the ctrain to my high school (which I graduated from) and boy did that suck big time.

Edmonton was the first city to buy the Siemens U2 light rail vehicles, shortly after, Calgary and San Diego made purchases as well. San Diego no leads the way in track miles with Calgary in second and Edmonton just waking up saying.... hmmmm I wonder if the lrt could go anywhere useful?

Yes your right, but almost every time when a train goes (lets say outbound) at that location, pedestrians see the train go by and don't bother looking the other way and they are all ready in the way of inbound train. The fence in the way and thats why the operator honked his horn to make sure people hear him coming. If the outbound train would of went slowly through, this would force people to wait for both trains to cross.
