    Ontario Northland/Northern Ontario Transportation

    There is only one flight from Toronto to North Bay twice a week. The bus is a better option.

    Ontario Northland/Northern Ontario Transportation

    When the Northlander did run did ONR crews stay in a Hotel in Toronto and then depart the next day? If service is only 3 days a week, how is that going to work

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    12 car trains to fit half a bus worth? The yard is owned by CN and they would need some kind of lease agreement.

    Alto - High Speed Rail (Toronto-Quebec City)

    How about instead of showing 100KM wide area being shown as expropriated draw a line that represents the potential path with the actual size of the corridor? The current diagram makes it look like the corridor is 200 lanes wide. Perhaps that's where the confusion begins?

    TTC: Major Operational Issues (Various)

    So now that we know that the O Ring was responsible both times and even though they were told NOT to assemble it in that way they did it anyways which resulted in another leak. This is a systemic culture problem. I was told not to do it but who cares I'm going to do it anyways kind of...

    Could they not dead head to Stratford in the morning? It could be that with the time savings on the route gives crews enough time for service to be extended to Stratford? Do any trains dead head to Toronto in the evening? You could have a late Stratford departure to Toronto for tourists or...

    Buying the corridor would make sense but the train could be starting from Stratford and not going to London.

    So Queensway will still be 50kmph?

    Brampton Transit/Zum

    I dont know about cheaper, hybrids have about a 20% fuel savings, on a vehicle of that size that's a lot. Also newer hybrids have been proven to be very reliable.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Oh right. Those were rockets too. But the D40 90's had other issues too. And the TTC was warned that the engines were too powerful. Why wasn't 6V92 an option for the new flyer?

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    For whatever reason the EGR units smoked more the the PRE EGR units. Also the Orion VII'S were stainless steelt frames making them heavier which could be why they felt slower than the Orion V's. We never had any buses with 6v92. The D40 90's were very fast but the engine literally shook the...

    I guess going to a ballast model would increase the weight and would not be supported? And the reason why they didnt do that to begin with was because they would need to make the concrete more sturdy to support the weight of the ballast and they would be too heavy to lift the pre-cast sections.

    It also seems relocating the station to where the main line is would result in a 10 minute shuttle ride which defeats the purpose of the whole thing. I wonder if it's just the curved parts or the whole elevated line?

    I wonder if they could keep one track in service and reduce headways to the airport to 30 minutes while they fix the concrete under the other track? They might have to rip up the concrete under the tracks and re-pour new concrete to fix it permanently.

    There are some units that feel like the joint will come apart when going over big bumps.

    They are slow as molasses without a better engine. You have to build up speed to make it up the hill.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    That makes sense. Those LINX buses are not adequate for those routes. But this opens up the whole corridor to have GO services all the way to North Bay.
