That's the biggest problem for vias operations. It thinks as if it's an airline and operates that way...

So does this mean they are finally happy with their rail alignment and final commissioning can take place?

It's moronic how difficult it is for 2 transit agencies to work out together for trains departing max every 15 min and hourly, meanwhile places like Tokyo station with multiple operators, dozens of lines, local, rapid and limited express trains, departing every other minute, all with their own...

The upper deck of these gallery cars look incredibly inefficient in terms of usage of space. That rack in the middle is a total waste of space

They really did a dogs breakfast on this. Couldn't look less ugly or shoddy considering they had a decade to clean it up

Yup.... the stairs will be destroyed by salt in 5 years time

The new train schedule has been updated. Anyone spot the new slots? https://www.viarail.ca/en/plan/new-fleet

I wonder when we will see the short and long consists that were proposed back in the design stage. Iirc they proposed 3 and 7 cars before the cab car as possible combinations

well... 12c for adults 8c for children and nickel for seniors. could be worse....

When will the new venture schedule be updated? Last schedule was in April and a couple new sets should be online by now

i guess simply put, they dont know how to run their trains....

Is this a design issue or just an unnecessary quirk in operations? overseas you got high speed trains routinely blazing through at 300km/h in same high platform situations with no issues.

theres only so much TTC can do against people who are dumb and dont deserve to drive...

makes sense... then again that lady was talking to an individual worker on the line who probably doesnt know the full picture and was making assumptions...

well.. if a full replacement has to occur that would mean more tearing up brand new concrete once more... still waiting for that 3 month notice...

yea i dont think she even knows about this issue. she only came in last year and all these operation speeds were determined long before tory stepped down. what we need to do is raise awareness to her office so that her staff can bring it up to her.
