To be fair, I imagine the reasons why it initially failed wouldn't necessarily apply here. The primary problem with the 3 line plan was that you had trains heading out to the Keele and Woodbine coming in on both platforms. Without any sort of electronic signage indicating on which platform the...

Can someone explain the logic to me? Because Ford cancelled station upgrades 4 years ago, that means Ford doesn't care about Milton and thus this is a political ploy to win a seat? This makes no sense, its not like Metrolinx only started working on Milton Expansion in the last 6 months because...

The western extension. We're talking about service changes of today.

That's like 8 years from now...

The final market affected is weekend service. Since Kitchener trains will still only be hourly, Bloor and Weston have now lost 2TPH with nothing to compensate for it.

I swear they've parroted the 2027 (specifically they said it was 17 months late) like 1.5 years ago? Whatever, have the pics from the article: Glad to see C&C tunnels being built in current year.

And you're telling me that you're watching the trains at every minute of every hour of every day, and that you have a detailed portfolio of what tests you have seen and whether they have hit their goals? I'm sorry but "I watched the trains at South Keys today" is not enough to get an idea of...

I think this is difficult to justify as any form of hard evidence. This line of logic assumes that their testing currently involves trying to get the system to run at ideal conditions, which isn't necessarily the case. The testing likely involves trying to simulate worst case scenerios, such as...

Minor nitpick, but if you move the RH line to follow the Midtown Line for that section, you can easily justify building a station at Sunnybrooke Park to connect to Line 5.

I was under the impression that the current plan for Confederation GO based on recent diagrams would have the train joining the existing mainline immediately after West Harbour rather than extending the tracks all the way to Confederation. But I guess that's no longer the plan?

I think he jokingly meant that the rails themselves should be electrified and shock anyone who touches them

The big reason for the upload is because many of the bridges are reaching EOL and need replacing, something that is very expensive and Ottawa doesn't have the money for. This is basically a gift for the city similar to uploading the Gardiner. Unless E.C Row and RHVP have similar issues I don't...

People say "Take the 7 Bus" or "The 510 Streetcar" all the time, what are you talking about?

Have you looked a the population numbers for these outlying areas and communities? They all have population counts sitting in the 4 digits, with the only outlier I can find being Carleton Place at 12k. For contrast, Orangeville has a population of 28k that dwarfs over all of these communities...

Why not? Has anyone in history ever went to Paris and was like "You told me to take the T2? Oh I confused it with Metro Line 2".
