Maybe in the future they’ll add a FlixTrain just like in Europe

Bi level? Naw dawg you need to go all out and take the Canadian and ride in the dome car for the great views. Book the trip to Vancouver or just Washago if you’re cheap.

That land and track is prime for a massive station expansion. Say multiple tracks (with one continuing to the US) and a true terminal style station (similar to Washington Union, Paris Northern) with an attractive canopy to welcome visitors. Move the bus terminal for a true intermodal station.

Follow up: can some industry experts please tell me what the conduit running alongside the tracks is? The new piping is black (PVC), over the bridge it’s Steele and after being covered is brown. Whats it’s purpose?

Sounds like they stole your photos and then banned you hoping you wouldn’t see your stolen photos on their site.

Finally got around for a walkabout today and got some shots of the progressive of the double tracking and Second platform at Guelph Central. Heading East from the old Dublin Street Crossing to the station…

I’m actually impressed by the journalist quality of this article. They actually did their research. And that's saying a lot about BlogTO

This morning I watched the London Train depart Guelph with the dual F59 and using my grade 1 math skills I can confirm that there are indeed 10 cars. Great to see. Hopefully we’ll see this service made permanent and platforms extended.

Plus with the filter the Handmaidens Tail uses you won’t be able to see the navy blue of Ontario Northland

That route IMO should street car/tram that runs from the train station south along the right of way towards the park & rides.

Agreed. Or at the very least: future proof with piers and abutments to support the installation of a future rail decks.

^all the more reason CN/GO should get serious about a tunnel or higher bridge over the canal.

It is cool to see them used for a unique event like this. Along other unique events- GO trainsets have been sent to Montreal to help with commuter service when the highway bridge collapsed in 2006. Temporary and emergency situations don’t count. In the case you posted, CN probably rented...

There is no way GO will ever cross the international border. Doing so places GO and Metrolinx under federal regulation along with 3 other transit agencies (OCTranspo, STO - Ottawa Gatineau and Windsor Transit) which means that Queens Park is no longer calling the shots. See the Ottawa bus...

And return to Toronto trip that leaves Kitchener/ Guelph at around 4-5pm would be great. The biggest shame is the complete lack of weekend service. Taking VIA the trains are always busy on the weekend. It doesn’t need to be all day; just 2-3 trains into Toronto in the morning and back. I’ve...

Tell that to me friend who lives in London and commutes to Kitchener 2 days a week for meetings. Sure the early departure isn’t the best but she loves that she doesn’t have to deal with traffic and can get work done while on board. The service is what true regional Rail should look like.

Thank you for the metal image while I eat my lunch. 🤌 /s lol I did the flight in 2019. It’s not as bad as you think. With newer aircraft like the 787 and the A350 allowing for much humidity in the cabin the difference is huge. When I fly overnight I take a melatonin pill while eating dinner to...

I disagree. I want to see multiple services on the same line to encourage competition. Further on I’d like to see Go follow the transport for transport for NSW model and offer better quality seats in coaches for the long distance (2+ Hours) routes.

Same here. It’s really frustrating and I feel bad for the passengers cramped onto buses to Waterloo. I’ve emailed Metrolinx about weekend service and I keep getting the runaround. I’m not asking for all day 2 way but some morning and evening weekend service. From guelph it’s either a 1.5 train...

Lighter less powerful locomotives for the 6 car train sets to cross the bridge at St Marys?
