That’d be the first I’ve heard of that. There are several supermarkets in the area including the Iqbal Foods where Oceans was, No Frills (formerly Real Canadian Superstore) across Steeles, and Food Basics across Main. Not sure why a grocery store would move in to the old Winners spot...

Trailways is gone from the 401 corridor completely.

Makes sense for Winners, but not great for tenants still inside. There will now be even more vacant space inside the mall itself.

All three stations continue to be owned by ONR. Englehart has a small freight yard. In May 2012, our northbound Northlander train was bustitued between North Bay and Englehart because the southbound train had hit a moose and the engine had to be inspected. We got back on the northbound train at...

Work on the new platform at Temagami today.

Perhaps. The November strikes really hurt, and December 2024 had a slightly earlier start to the holiday closures versus 2023.

Construction inaction at Porcupine today. Driving up Highway 11, there are blue government signs entering each town the Northlander will stop at – Wasago, Gravenhurst, Bracebridge, Huntsville, South River…

Yes, I know that. But that CP route has gone to shit since the 1990s. It’s not nearly at the quality of the CN route to Halifax.

That’s one reason why ports like Philadelphia and Baltimore remain competitive even when Norfolk/Newport News is a shorter distance for ships from Europe. They also have different rail and road links. But if Halifax has the capacity, I’m not sure how Saint John (which is on a secondary rail...

Historically, CP was very tied into partnerships with specific US Railroads, such as New York Central/Penn Central (with which it co-owned the Toronto, Hamilton, and Buffalo), and the Delaware and Hudson. It also had a controlling stake in the Soo Line Railroad and some of its predecessors. By...

That was such an annoying press conference. It’s as if it was passed by a very angry Anthony Housefather before being read in public. It did too little to condemn the genocidal actions on one side while repeating “October 7” so many times. With the complete flattening of Gaza and the further...

I hate how every time on UT it comes to this. Blame the city, blame the homeless, blame the deadbeats. Blah blah blah.

Another batch of Beer Store closures, on Sept. 28. Only one in the GTHA; the rest are in smaller towns. Bala, 3025 Hwy. #169, Bala, ON, P0C 1A0 Brampton, 10585 Bramalea Rd., Bldg. D., Brampton, ON, L6R 0C1 Clinton, 30 Mill St., Clinton, ON, N0M 1L0 Morrisburg, 111 Main St., Morrisburg, ON, K0C...

Go to any other CadFair managed mall and there’s plenty of seating. The few measly benches in the main section of Eaton Centre are full of people with their butts hanging on the side. They don’t want any of the downtown denizens spending any time in the mall if they aren’t actively spending...

This thread is about Eglinton Line 5. Not about random cycling infrastructure or crack use on the streetcars.

You made your point. Let it go.

There’s no way this building will be ready for September 2025. The library branch for Bramalea should really be in the now-vacant Bay store, of course renovated for more natural light.

I can’t see why there wouldn’t be BRT lanes built at the same time. Six lanes plus a bus median is ridiculous though, it should be just 4+2.

Interesting! I remember older plans called for the retention of the parking garage.

The Grimsby route pretty much restores the old Canada Coach Lines Highway 8 local service, which continued under Trentway-Wagar/Coach Canada service into the early 2000s. It was discontinued around the time GO expanded bus routes into Niagara and Waterloo regions. It only goes to Winona...
