All evidence points to double tracks to Barrie. And Bradford will definitely have it. They need it if they want 15 minute service

Not right this moment. But with GO expansion (correct me if I am mistaken) but with 15 minute service going to Bradford, Allandale will see 30 minute service. There’s certainly a case for another platform if that is the case and the Beeton Spur is in a decent spot for it

GO expansion. Allandale may need a second platform one day. Who knows

I love catching the BCRY at Allandale. It’s always a nice treat when waiting for the train or bus. Here’s hoping the 2nd track will see passenger trains in the future

CPR still owns the section from Streetsville Junction to the former site of the CPR Meadowvale station. So that part of the line will remain

Welp, tell all those businesses they are welcome in Barrie

Maybe the Yard could be used partly for a GO layover yard instead of having it in Baden.

As a long time resident of Barrie I am a bit conflicted with Debut. On the one hand, the loss of those older buildings is sad, and the towers do stick out like a sore thumb. On the other hand. considering how short we are for housing here more is good, especially denser housing that will make a...

surprised it has taken them this long to get something over here. Yonge Street through Barrie in general is kinda empty. Lots more empty lots than you'd expect for a major city in the GGHA

Um? I never said anything about using the Trillium Line corridor specifically. (which is getting double tracked anyways, it is shut down for the works) I am talking about more services in the same style as the Trillium line with similar frequency and similar rolling stock, the original was...

Should have made myself more clear, and maybe "Regional Rail" wasn't the greatest term. I am not referring to a GO style network with 12 car bilevel behemoths. I am more referring to more Trillium Line style services (which yes, is technically considered regional rail) to places like Kanata...

Yeah.... I don't see how refurbishing the old cars means we won't be getting any new ones. They've been gradually refurbishing the bilevels for a long time. This is likely just to get the last of them out of the way. And besides, as long as CP doesn't allow GO to have their own tracks along the...

MOOSE was never going to happen. However, what can happen is Ottawa setting up their own regional network. Considering all the railroad ROWs they have acquired (The Trillium Line was only 1 example) they can have a true world class network without the need to bury everything like a certain...

Seems odd to me that they still claim it will have “modest ridership” when the feasibility study is from 2009. Just redo it already

You know when the last run will be? I want to see this railway before it's gone.

Agree with all of that, except the “Frequent and direct bus service” part. Barrie Transit’s routes are just as meandering and infrequent up there as they are in any other part of the city. Source: Georgian College alumni. Left just before the pandemic

Would love for them to have the Midland and Orillia linx buses terminate here now for the connectivity.

Excited to see the final plan. Maybe we could even see the Bolton Line go past Bolton.... pipe dream, but a man can dream.
