I'd like to see a Sudbury - Sturgeon Falls - North Bay - Toronto train that runs on the off days for the Northlander. Thereby giving North Bay and southwards 7 days a week service.

Sudbury is served by the Canadian 3x per week.

Running passenger trains on existing track requires investment. Who's going to pay for it?

As a QC taxpayer, I have no problem with all you lovely ON taxpayers paying for your vanity passenger rail projects…

Its a better "investment" than Doug Fords plan to dig a tunnel under the 401 from Brampton to Scarborough.

I was under the impression that the Northlander will be 7 days a week for at least half the year. Would your plan only be for when isn't 7 days a week?

Sudbury is only served twice a week, not 3 times a week. And, we already do pay for it. So, maybe we pay more to get something more useful.

Run it later in the day. Even 12 hours later. So, if the Northlander leaves at 4am, why not have this one leave North Bay at 4pm.
