Where will it go?

Tunney’s to Blair, 13 stations
- 12.5 km through central Ottawa
- Downtown tunnel, with underground stations at Lyon, Parliament and Rideau
- Major destinations close to O-Train stations
The O-Train Confederation Line is central
The O-Train Confederation Line will connect 13 stations from Tunney’s Pasture in the west to Blair in the east, replacing current Transitway service through central Ottawa.
Downtown destinations
Most customers will use the Confederation Line on a daily basis in their transit trips, to get to and from downtown.
Through downtown, the Confederation Line travels underground in a 2.5-km tunnel that stretches from LeBreton Flats to Waller Street.
When you arrive at one of the central stations — Lyon, Parliament or Rideau — you will be protected from the elements as you exit the train onto a modern, underground platform. Escalators and elevators provide an easy connection to street level, and local area maps show the location of nearby destinations.
