A lighting outlet has take.n up residence in the Valumart - presumably content to take a lease on the understanding that it is relatively short term.

Can't be one until TTC announces they are in their 3 month assumption period, no?

Heritage like Toronto Union Station with its 2/3 of the bush sheds and a sunroof. I care about moving people quickly and in facilities that are properly accessible, not about station buildings with weirdly outsize roofs.

Given the steepness of the incline to the top of the hill past the tracks, and down again to Lawrence, I predict any extension to go under, not over. My kid goes to Don Mills Middle School so while I am not conversant with any geological, hydrological or utility impediment to a tunnel which...

Or the “heritage” station could simply be demolished and the north track expedited by all means necessary. In the rapidly transforming Brampton centre it will surely be an afterthought where the same building in a village flag stop would be notable. But then, who could trust Metrolinx to build...

To be clear - this is either a choice by Hamilton or someone speaking out of turn. Finch West and Eglinton on surface are NOT moving at the speed of the adjoining roads. Those street limits are 50km/h, and Council passed specific bylaws to permit Crosstown and Finch West to operate 10km/h...

Lucien L’Allier station is currently closed for upgrade works, which has presumably not helped ridership on the three lines into that station and at least a portion of which may now be worthless...

am not generally a fan of “AI” but a plug-in to forum posting where people could be reminded of (for example) the number of times Brightline has already been distinguished from things which can be done in Canada before they are allowed to mash the post button would be great. The one (1) good...

Be a good way to find out how resilient Eurobalises are to flooding, at least.

I think the theory behind Infrastructure Ontario is laudable - create a project management and delivery agency which works with municipalities and transit agencies to organize planning, design, construction resources for projects of a size beyond which those municipalities or agencies can't...

There could be a reason underpinning was delayed - cash flow. In 2011 the financial crisis was still receding.

When you say “I can see this being”, is this based on any legal precedent which has proceeded to judgment? I don’t want to judge your legal expertise by the many vibes based ideas you have about rural rail transportation.

Two points I would make here, as economy of scale flits into and out of a lot of these discussions. 1. When it suits, such economies are overlooked. Canada Line, having different DMUs for Ottawa Line 2 and 4, UPX cars and now Guelph-Cambridge BEMUs. On the flip side, economy of scale was used...

The Citadis in Ottawa is 1500VDC. https://otrain.railfans.ca/trains/alstom-citadis-spirit

Perhaps - I haven’t gone to the source directives - but I am specifically calling out the practice of offering credit if this is still going on. It does seem like even where delayed travel regimes exist; they don’t seem to be regulated so strictly that company personnel don’t make offers to...

To my mind, VIA OCC should always be able to communicate directly with Corridor passengers via a dedicated, reliable audio channel (similarly to how TTC transit control does) to assure passengers that the outside world does in fact know where they are and to relieve some communication burden...

Parliament should set legal minimums for compensation generally akin to what the European Union does including defining exempt force majeure, and specify that where rebates or refunds are involved that the minimum is always obtainable as money (refund to credit card etc.) and that while they can...

There is a point there about comparing dissimilar geographies. Quebec City to Montreal is 254km, and that is just one segment of the corridor, if we restrict expectations just to there. From top to bottom of the entire country of the Netherlands (say Eemshaven to Maastricht) is 370km.

Not saying that you’re wrong but that family owns a railway too (New Brunswick Southern)
