    VIA Rail

    I have a trip booked from Kitchener to London on Sunday, and I got a call from VIA that they are changing their trains to buses on that route for the next two weekends. Besides the fact my business class train seat is now a seat on a crowded bus, they at least are doing a partial refund on my...

    Intercity Bus Services

    Yes i agree. Airlines and even Via lets you scan a QR code from your phone. Why could you not do it with them?

    I also compiled all my delivery videos into one (and added some additional details such as dates/times)

    Guess I'm going to be freezing my behind off tonight to grab a video to complete the collection :)

    Waterloo Region Transit Developments (ION LRT, new terminal, GRT buses)

    CN/GEXR dropped it off just past northfield (I think you are right about the place) but they unloaded them on the Southbound track in front of the OSMF (which they can't do now without disrupting service). So my guess is they unload it on the spur north of northfield, and in a gap between LRVs...

    I'm pretty sure I have seen ones at Cambridge Center and Ainslie terminal. (But someone who lives in Cambridge can confirm for sure)

    https://kitchener.ctvnews.ca/region-of-waterloo-to-get-2-2-million-for-lrt-delivery-delays-1.5073339 2.2 million in compesentation + a new LRV (probably the loaner they were going to use while fixing the welds) due to the delivery delays.

    COVID-19 Measures (updated list at top of thread)

    Appears kw is doing this as well. Last 3-4 times I rode all doors auto opened. (Then I stopped riding it due to work telling us all to work from home)

    VIA Rail

    My online cancelation refund is already back on my card. At least they made that painless. But I got a email about 6 hours after my original train was to depart saying it was canceled. Would have sucked for those that did not see the news last night and arrived at the station, only for no train...

    VIA Rail

    Figures. I was booked to go from kw to London tomorrow afternoon on VIA. Good thing I saw this news before I left work so I was able to rebook on Greyhound. I was able to cancel my via booking online, just waiting for my refund to reappear on my card. I wonder how many people this screwed...

    It was actually not at the intersection but about 150m north of the intersection, so this person would have been intentionally walking down the tracks.

    It has finally happened up by the university. https://www.kitchenertoday.com/local-news/pedestrian-fatally-struck-by-lrt-1998808 I can't imagine what the driver/passengers or the poor guy's family is going through.

    I live near that intersection. I can confirm that there are no left turn signs here. This is starting to get to be old news now... I wonder when the media is going to stop reporting the minor fender benders with trains.

    Don't surprise me. I'm constantly seeing gates on top of cars because no one around here seems to understand what a stop line is.

    First LRV/Vehicle collision. Train 514 was hit by a car making a right hand turn while the no right hand turn sign was on that ran a red light. https://www.kitchenertoday.com/local-news/ion-train-involved-in-a-crash-1483536

    It will be down to the wire for both. I wonder if we end up in a tie with Ottawa?
