The station buildings seem to progressing well. Any work on the in-corridor platforms yet?

Yes

The Lakeshore Lines have always been the prime candidate for electrification. I wouldn't say the other lines are on the backburner, rather that ONxpress can only mobilize so many resources at once to do electrification work. It makes sense to focus on a line (or a pair of lines) at a time, and...

I think we should expect a phased approach.

Great read - thanks for your work cobbling these documents together. It will always be the Hurontario LRT in my heart!

From Twitter:

I’m hearing reliability with the existing diesels is a massive issue too. They’re electrifying the network so they need fewer diesel locos as OP said.

Frequency is always King, but as pointed out above the region may not want to spend on more service. Might actually be easier for Waterloo to order more trains for double-length service with one of the Fed’s electric transit vehicle programs.

Ignore the editing and trespassing but some testing footage:

The post:

13 locomotive tender was cancelled. The procurement plan outlines a new order/tendering process with a larger number of locomotives.

204 has been placed mid-train and moved to beside the main at Willowbrook.

Metrolinx is genuinely unable to properly plan transit because of incompetence and a flawed business case methodology, and requires political interference to get stuff done. They can’t even write their own 2051 Regional Transportation Plan and have subbed out the work to HDR, spending only...

They look so good wow.

The renderings show two platforms, so two tracks would be included.

Absolutely not. Metrolinx and ONxpress both know what service is planned for the near future. The 2024 increases will support future increases.

Long train, tight curve:

Agree. Especially because Burlington will be the end of electrified super-frequent service for GO Expansion. I'd be okay with them adding a West Harbour stop on the Maple Leaf to NYC also in this scenario.
