Edmonton LRT schedule and train times
How often trains run on each line, the first and last train at every station, and how late the LRT runs before the OWL night buses take over.
How the LRT schedule works
The Edmonton LRT does not run to a timetable you need to memorise. For most of the day trains come every few minutes, so you turn up and go. What is worth knowing is the shape of the day and how late the trains run.
All three lines run roughly 5 am to 1 am, every day. There is no 24-hour LRT in Edmonton. Once the trains stop for the night, ETS runs OWL night buses on the busiest corridors until around 3 am, so you are not stranded if you are out late.
Below is how often trains come on each line, by time of day, worked out from the ETS GTFS schedule feed.

Before you travel
- Check for service alerts. Track and signal work, weather and events can change things at short notice. Live status board.
- Every station is step-free. All Edmonton LRT stations have elevators or ramps and level boarding, so an accessible route is always there.
- The Valley Line is separate. It does not share tracks with the Capital and Metro lines — to reach it, take the short walk at Churchill.
- No overnight LRT. Trains run until about 1 am; after that, ETS OWL night buses cover the main routes until roughly 3 am.

Schedule questions
All three lines run roughly 5 am to 1 am, seven days a week. There is no 24-hour LRT. After the last train, ETS OWL night buses cover the main corridors until about 3 am. Each line page here lists the exact first and last train for every one of its stations.
At the morning rush the Capital Line runs about every 6 minutes and the Metro Line every 12; because they share the downtown trunk, a train comes through those central stations far more often than either line alone. The street-running Valley Line runs every 5 minutes or so at peak. Midday the gaps stretch to around 10–15 minutes, and later in the evening a little more. The table above has every period.
Yes, but usually to a reduced, Sunday-like schedule — trains run less often, and service can start later. It is worth checking ETS at edmonton.ca/ets for the day itself.
The LRT does not publish a departure-time timetable the way a commuter railway does, because trains are frequent enough that it would not be useful — what you want is how often trains come and the first/last train for your station. We put both on a one-page schedule PDF, and the network map PDF is here.
