George's Trains (now unfortunately located up in Markham), has HO scale PCCs with the TTC livery. I received one for Christmas along time ago, and unfortunately their made by Bachmann which I've always found to be pretty cheap - cheap cheap, not inexpensive cheap. The ones I have only the rear...

Maybe the Brussels Flexity in Vancouver will make the trip across the continent? Seems like if this display does in fact happen it should be shown at the EX as opposed to Y&D like in times past

A mock-up for the streetcar would be interesting to see in regards to the vehicle choice (using a legacy-fleet streetcar or a trailer) since the design will be completely different from what we currently have. It won't be as easy to visualize as the mock-up was for the TR trains since the shell...

^Scarlem has always been a favourite of mine, but I'm from Scarborough, and I term myself a Scarberian. Someone from Pickering is a "Pickeringite" and that's straight from the mayor's mouth. A relative of mine moved out there and e-mailed the mayor to find out and that was his response.

That "news" site may is the wikipedia of news sites... Just like wiki, you have to take the information given with a grain of salt.

Headway is the time between the trains, so you can't have "0" headway because that would infer that the trains are instantaneously in the same position. Ie, if a train left a station at 6:40, and the next train arrived at 6:41, there would be a one minute headway...

Platforms are 500 ft. on the YUS and BD lines.

I wasn't going to post anything since this is a 'non-update', but since I keep receiving PMs from some people, I may as well just say it once. I past by the Bombardier factory yesterday, there was nothing to see. The only tid-bit of information I could find was that the test-tracks are...

One Word: Scarborough.

How would this method result in half-full trains exactly? Wouldn't your method just cause riders to needlessly transfer trains? If you get on a train at Davisville it would take you to Eglinton, where you would need to transfer onto a Southbound train. This train would have passengers from...

I was trying for a larger image, and noticed the link lol. 1. What station has the longest escalator? 2. What station has the shortest escalator? 3. In which TTC station(s) must you enter the paid area to board another system's vehicle?

During the winter break from university I was home in TO, and I've only been in Thunder Bay for a couple of days since. I've only done a drive-by of the plant, and there was nothing new to see. I'll update the status if and when there is something of note. Spring extends from March 20 to...

That's odd, last I checked Toronto didn't have a subway back in 1920. If you could post this map, I think this will help greatly in understanding how this system should work instead of using monotonously long and drawn out explanations. The way I understand it, would be if you want to pop...

They probably want to limit the amount of body part smearing across the tracks and cars.

They probably were swayed partly by the current setup of the SRT so the tracks themselves won't need to be reconfigured when/(if) it is converted to LRT.

Komiksulo is correct. The answer is the Bush Train Shed. To answer the next question: Christie StIdes, when you post a picture, make sure the link to the picture doesn't contain the answer ;)

Let's see if we can revive this thread for a little while... This may be simple for the train-buffs but can be challenging to some... What term is used to describe the type of station Union is (the heavy rail train shed)?

That would be a pointless petition. Clearly you don't use GO Transit, as GO offers many express trip(s) directly to Union from; Oakville, Clarkson, Pickering, Bramalea, and Unionville

I am so confused!! :confused:

What's there to stop these groups from using children?
