I know this may not be this threads useaul thing but I thought you may appreciate this. I am currently working on my video for GO ALRT and made 3D models of the ALRT vehicles for use in the video (yes I am trying to upgrade my production values by using Blender models/Animations). Also for...

Do we know which line will be the first to be electrified? I would imagine it would be the LSE since Metrolinx owns the entire line, its triple tracked, and the yard in Whitby was designed with overhead caternary in mind. The only level crossings are at Manse Road and Beechgrove Drive and you...

Yes I know we had this conversation, I was there when it was happening, but that's not what my post is about. All I am doing to is responding to a previous post to say that yes you can operate a frequent service with Bi-Level EMU's and posted an example of a city doing that.

Idk Sydney seems to do a very good job using Bi-Level EMU's. For perspective service levels are apparently every 5 minutes during rush hour and every 10 minutes off-peak and on weekends. Their most heavily used line T1 - Northshore and Western Line moved 41.9 Million riders in 2021/2022. By...

Perhaps we can have a thread dedicated to transit plans, drawing, and schematics for projects past and present? Like a repository where those things will always be available.

All of these: https://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/search.jsp?Ntt=GO+ALRT They couldn't find the Report of the Northern Line though. Id reccomend going to the 2nd floor desk like I did since some of the books are up there and you have to request them, while the majority are in the stacks which...

Not sure if this is truly the right thread for this, but I went down to the Reference Library to get some materials on GO ALRT and thought you guys might like to see some of it (I took the photos with my phone so the quality may not be super good on some images). I'll start with photos from...

Not saying I doubt you or that you're wrong but wouldn't any streetcar operators have a leg up on the competition considering their prior experience with operating LRV's on the road as well as operating Flexity LRV's (not saying the Outlooks and Freedoms are the exact same but they are from the...

Well for the Souffville line the opportunities for infill stations would have to be Lawrence, and Finch with maybe an extension to Uxbridge. As for the LSE I think you could justify an infill station somewhere between Danforth and the future East Bayfront since its about a 5km gap which is on...

I think this issue could be remedied by removing the 2nd person up front with the engineer and reassigning/training them to be an engineer. As it stands now GO Trains operate with 2 men upfront so you could hypothetically double the number of engineers by simply making the 2nd man an engineer...

This is something I have though of recently as well, and while I don't know what MX's solution is the one I came to you was a replacement at a 1:1 ration, for every 1 trains worth of Bi-Levels retired you replace it with an EMU (factor in spares as well for what ever GO's operational spare ratio...

A couple of months back I made a video about what the cities Trolley Bus network could have looked like had we kept and expanded the network. I have made a map version of what was in the video. The new routes are mixture of TTC proposals from back in the day as well as routes I think would have...

Well that's because the City of York and York Region were once one and the same; York County. Or more accurately the City of York was once the Township of York which was part of York County. The City of Toronto wasn't fully part of York County but was still involved in the wider regional...

The lack of a station on the BD at Birchmount is no doubt due to to the high cost of the Kennedy extension at the time which itself was caused by the extension having to be built underground due to local opposition and CN not wanting to cooperate with the TTC in regards to the GECO subdivision...
