Background on Langford Station:
The new Langford Station was launched in spring 2022, opening phase one in partnership between the City of Langford and the Island Corridor Foundation (ICF).
Langford and other municipalities and organizations have long sought to use the old rail line at that location for electric passenger rail.
Apparently the challenge of running a line through First Nations lands is part of the impediment to creating a light rail line from further upisland, through Langford, and beyond to Esquimalt or downtown Victoria.
The late Premier John Horgan often said that many a study had been done and reports had been written about possibilities for reactivating the rail corridor.
