The release says roads and driving but I've learned the province doesn't have a transit subject for announcements and they always put roads and driving for transit stuff. Good flags on potential topics!

Provincial announcement tomorrow in Hamilton. Maybe LRT tendering related? Minister Sarkaria to Hold a Press Conference

I genuinely believe that Metrolinx watched the Ottawa mess and will not open the line until it is absolutely ready. They have taken enough Ls with the delays already, and I am sure they want the opening to be a win.

Yes this is what I am referring to!

Stay tuned. Big changes planned for the medium term for what we today call the UP Express.

Reminds me of when the Harper Conservatives edited pictures to make the GO Trains Tory-blue.

I heard through the grapevine that the ONTC Siemens Chargers/Ventures will begin fabrication at Siemens Sacramento next month (May 2024). Curious what nose cone we get, since renderings of two versions have been floating around.

Love the red!

Bloomington has a reputation as being the most overbuilt and underused station on the GO network. It would be fine.

I’d remove Gormley and add Bloomington because that station has more protected parking (it’s a massive parking garage), and a more protected platform for people waiting.

We build literal underground railways (subways). Doing a track tie-in is literally the easiest thing possible.

East of Yonge. Concrete is poured and early catenary is going up: West of Bay:

Charger/Venture number 14 is Canada-bound.

VIA's long-distance fleet replacement funded in Federal Budget 2024! Page 256: https://www.budget.canada.ca/2024/home-accueil-en.html#pdf Plus HFR update:

The RFP closes June 4th, so early work could even begin later this year I’d guess. I honestly think that the biggest variable is if Siemens can deliver the train sets on time. No reason to assume they won’t however.

Looks like they will move fast on it:

I wonder if they adjusted the order for some reason to have the same nose cones as Amtrak long distance. Also this tender went out April 4th: Northeastern Passenger Rail Service - Reinstated Stations (Package 1 & 2)

Also, here is the link to the Timmins-Porcupine Station TRAP presentation. Looks like they changed the nose-cones from VIA to Amtrak on the new train sets?

Update:

“Transfer to washrooms” LMAO. I guess instead of going to Lines 1 or 2, you can go #1 or #2.
