Just caught the northlander on its return leg just north of oriole go station

also do not simply go with the lowest bidder and go with the fastest timeline at reasonable cost. they think they can save a nickel on the dollar by stretching the project out but it has ALWAYS led to the timeline and budget being stretched even more.

Its beyond likely. Its an absolutely must if we are to recover in our lifetimes. People tend to forget that projects like these set the stage for decades to come. Whatever the next govt does won't be felt until after 2040. Ill be old by then. What the current ML organization and ont govt has...

The gap from the pier to the existing track looks tighter than where the future track will be to the other pier so i dont buy their excuses. Regardles this is all bullshit... how on earth are they taking 6 years just to design a bridge extension. They freakn built while viaducts through...

The fact that India can routinely run double stack electric trains throws that argument in the trash immediately. It can be done. Its just a question of whether the execs have the urge to get off their asses and actually work for their salaries. How egotistical are we that we assume we are thr...
