TransLink announced that there is no service on the Expo Line between Columbia Station and Lougheed station as of 8:30 am on Monday, February 11.
The transit authority notes that riders will have to use a shuttle train between the two SkyTrain stations, and therefore will need to allow for additional time during their commute.
#SkyTrain No Expo Line service between Columbia Stn & Lougheed Stn. Shuttle train service operating. Customers will need to transfer at Columbia or Lougheed. Please give yourself extra time for your commute. Expo Line operating King George to Waterfront in both directions. ^DA

SkyTrain Stations
TransLink notes that there are delays on both the Expo and Millennium SkyTrain Lines, which they attribute to the frigid weather. They also add that many trains are being driven manually in particular areas. As a result, riders are warned that they should allow additional time for travel.

Just hours after Environment Canada lifted one snowfall warning for the region, a second has been issued as the weather office warns of “a long period of snowfall with total amounts of 10 to 15 centimetres expected.”
