Richmond Hill during the pandemic.

Accuweather is currently predicting 86% cloud cover in Niagara Falls. Too early, I know, but nevertheless an amusing thought.

You seriously believe that commuters would’ve flocked to a four hour long train ride if only it arrived before 9? Really??

Much of the increased ridership can be attributed to the influx of international students to the area. I would be a lot more impressed if there was a larger modal shift, but there isn’t.

This sounds needlessly complicated over the current procedure of simply splitting the train, which by the way can’t be that simple as crews are apparently allotted 1.5 hours to complete the procedure. Beyond this, what would be the benefit of dragging a second locomotive to Georgetown?

The ION takes longer between Fairway Station and Downtown Kitchener than the former 200 iXpress; 17-20 minutes vs 11-16 minutes. Marginal difference, but it exists. Coupled with the concerns you raise and the average user is more than entitled to express their disappointment in a project that...

To be fair, “everyone else” isn’t travelling to Downtown Toronto to deliver food via bicycle as means of survival. Clearly local transit agencies at Malton, Bramalea, Brampton, and Mount Pleasant do not have the capacity to accommodate the multitude of bikes dumped on those platforms, leaving...

There is a bike storage facility of some kind behind Union Chicken near York Concourse but I don’t know anything about it. I have seen a few bike couriers hanging out in there though. However, a lot of the bike couriers are reliant on their bikes as transport to and from stations in Brampton...

At this point I am inclined to believe that the only solution to this issue is an outright ban of bikes on the Kitchener Line. These people continually demonstrate day after day that they do not care for the safety and comfort of their fellow customers. All six bike coaches are currently in use...

Maintenance, unless my information is now outdated. ONxpress held a few meet and greet sessions with Alstom employees over the summer where they introduced themselves as ONxpress to the Operations team and as CAD Railway to Maintenance.

They have all been offered positions with ONxpress or CAD Railway.

That's a shame. Regular GO fares remain terribly expensive compared to driving from my end of the GTA, more so once I add a travel companion or two.

It uses 1 F59 now.

What poor research. The 23:34 Kitchener Line train has been operating since September 5 and terminates at Mount Pleasant, not Kitchener.
