I wanted just to get an update on the three train, the elevator installation.
1:09:32
Can you provide an updated timeline for the installation of the elevators at the Ashford Street Train Station or Newlot Street Train Station.
1:09:42
As well as are there any plans or any talks about expanding or the expansion of the three line into the southernmost part of my district which is as a transportation desert.
1:10:02
Are there any talks behind that?
1:10:05
And also wanted to well maybe you could answer that and then we can talk about congestive pricing.
Demetrius Crichlow
1:10:17
So I'm not familiar with the update.
1:10:21
I know we did start the work on on the elevators at at New New Locks.
1:10:26
Correct.
1:10:26
But I could certainly follow-up with you on the progress.
1:10:31
The second thing you mentioned was sorry.
1:10:36
Expansion I'll tell you, I used to be a line manager on the three lines.
Chris Banks
1:10:40
Okay.
Demetrius Crichlow
1:10:41
And so I could tell you my personal feeling is I would love for the expansion to go.
1:10:48
We do have some additional projects that are going on that are being considered for the current capital program that would be impacting the the area over there.
1:10:56
We have a new shop that's gonna be built in order to take on the new cars.
1:11:01
We're gonna be looking at putting all new new cars on the the two, three, four, five.
1:11:07
And, you know, introducing in the future CBTC for for those lines.
1:11:12
In order to do so, you have to have a new shop.
1:11:14
The shop there the shop there is ancient.
1:11:18
Right.
1:11:19
And, you know, in the long term I do I don't know the exact
Chris Banks
1:11:25
Timeframe.
Demetrius Crichlow
1:11:26
You know, timeframe for anything beyond that.
