In the UK there is an extensive schedule of Stopping (all stops)/Semi-stopping (skip a few stops)/Semi-express (skip more than a few stops)/Express (more like point a to point b) rail service on many lines using the same railway right-of-way. They do this by having a set of tracks dedicated to...

It's a terrible idea, not because naming streetcars is a terrible idea, but because we'd have to come up with 204 unique names. WRT 4450 not being spotted in Thunder Bay, that could just be because of the ramp up of production going on up there. Since CP handles all the logistics of shipping...

This isn't at all a white elephant. This system has been needed for 20+years. Even more so now that the Toronto-Waterloo innovation corridor is booming the way it is. You can't argue against it. Especially with the amount of commuters coming and going between the two cities. Case in point, this...

Their venture into the CSeries wasn't a failure. The venture brought in Airbus, Airbus' supply chain and a second assembly line in the US. Meaning essentially that the US duties cannot be enforced on the Delta order.

Airbus announced it will partner with Bombardier to produce the C Series jets by acquiring a 50.01% stake in CSeries Aircraft Limited Partnership (CSALP) the joint venture between Bombardier and Investissement Québec. Under the new terms Airbus will own 50.01%, Bombardier 31% and Investissement...

More details emerging about the track testing beginning Oct. 19. Grandlinq will begin non-powered pull-through testing of various pieces of track along the test track area. The testing will be primarily conducted to find any deficiencies in the track, grade crossing signals and other track...

On-track tests of LRT vehicle expected to start next week A light rail vehicle could start running along part of the 19-kilometre Ion track as soon as next week. Officials with the Region of Waterloo say Oct. 19 is the anticipated start date of on-track testing for the vehicle which arrived in...

Phase 2 is in consultation stage right now

That Western-Cullen-Hayes E-bell is still going off in my head :(

most of the signalling work requires working vehicles to test and adjust. now that they have one, the signalling work will progress at a faster pace.

didn't know they still made Dash 8s :eek:

Could be a number of things like what they use to clean the interior to the air filters used in the climate control system

This isn't how things work.... trains and streetcars take a longer time to build than cars or buses. Orders are made years in advance of when they are supposed to enter service. There is no model obsolescence.

The US didn't get away with screwing Airbus over... regardless of that Canada has more dispute resolution mechanisms than Europe does. For what it's worth, hypocrisy doesn't get you very far when it comes to charging duties because the foreign company is government subsidized when your own...

The vast majority of BBD deliveries are on-time or early. But those deliveries don't make headlines or sell newspapers. The only ones that make headlines are late deliveries.

It's a lot more viable then people here care to give it credit for

The same place they are now or probably better. Bombardier's most profitable department is rail as it's one of the principal suppliers for the UK rail system, supplies many vehicles for light rail and heavy rail systems in Europe, and produces the double deck passenger cars used by many...

Not likely. They have clients all over the world still buying locomotives, light rail vehicles, subway vehicles, monorails and bi-level passenger cars from them. The only clients having significant issues with delivery dates are here in Canada.

I said on another forum that it would be irresponsible of Bombardier to not have more transporter cars considering the frequency and volume of expected deliveries for Eglinton Crosstown deliveries next year and the length of time required to ship Valley Line vehicles to Edmonton. That's not even...
