but the official schedule (left margin, click on BC Criminal Court etc) says nothing about Case #23299 (BC Rail) for today.

Its a very large IF that on Tuesday, October 5th, you can sit in the public gallery of Court Room #54. Jury will not be present. Press and Public lips are sealed because there is be a Publication Ban sign that says so.

Anon 8:29,

It's a publication ban, not an attendance ban.
