That's only for extra event trains or Niagara service. The vast majority of trains still have just the one CSA. Just what I heard when I was there, thank god I'm not anymore but many of my friends still are, but I wasn't there from the start so guess I heard wrong about the CN part. It's how I...

Hate to break it to you but they've already deprioritized safety in the name of on-time performance metrics. Trains no longer hold at a platform if someone presses the priority alarm, too many false alarms they say. So now they are to get going first and then only once they've left the station...

The entire crew base received termination letters from Alstom, as required by the ESA. They also went through a hiring process with OOI, including medical testing (where applicable) and background checks. The only step skipped was interviews. However, Alstom later filed a "successorship" claim...

That poor 'ol security guard is looking awful lonely there... Nice of you to give him some human company for a minute 🥹

Where is that snazzy purple reflection coming from!? 😍

It hasn't because the schedule is already well padded, also there's many been slow orders around that area for a while including one right now for exactly 45 at one of the turnouts. The idea they seem to be going for is that a future schedule will have two trains meet up at the exact middle of...

They don't care enough about crews to give them lunch breaks lol. Not a single job has an offical lunch break built into it. There's down times where crews change ends or trains but even then they're officially supposed to still be monitoring the radio and its not offically a lunch break...

Damn these boys sure build fast!! The kiddies palying in the sandbox over at The One should take some notes 😏 But in all seriousness I still think One Yonge will be completed first.

And the yet to be built height is taller than any completed skyscraper in Vancouver, Burnaby, the entire GTA outside of Toronto and possibly Montreal, aside from that pointy thing on top of on Le 1250 René-Lévesque.

Interesting, looks like 6 tracks in total there 🧐 But before anyone gets excited, I assume the north and south-most tracks are just non-main service tracks.

I don't think anyone is saying they're anything special, but the towers themselves are hardly the disaster that some were claiming they would be. Agreed

What kind of stone is that? While it's not a lot, it's still nice to see a building making use of some stone for once above the podium.

Unfortunately most of them will not be built. It's sort of a like some dirty secret with the way people are avoiding talking about it on urbantoronto, but the pre-construction condo market is horrifically crashing. The number of projects on hold is probably approaching 100 by now...

Holy! That bridge is so wide you could drive a car (or two) over it. Not saying that I would, just saying... 😈 Do a lot of people use this route?

What would be the point of this Heritage station? There is litterally nothing out there. Is there future development planned for the area, and if so just how big is going to be? Please tell me they're not planning to sprawl out Brampton all the way to Georgetown...

So this is Vaughan tallest by about 2.5 inches, eh? Never thought I'd see the day a difference of a couple inches meant so little. 😌

Say that 10 times fast! 🥴

The GO network as is, is absolutely incapable of providing meaningful relief to the 400-series highway network, particularly during rush hour when congestion is at its worst. While the 401 is indeed busy most of the time these days, it still moves reasonably well outside of peak hours, aside...

I don't know where you got that number from but that it's wrong. That looks more like the revenue during covid and even then it's low. In the 2021-22 business year revenue was 226.5 milion with only 120.5 from fares - but that was with riddership down to as low as 9% of pre-covid levels...

Could be that there wouldn't be any room for Railroad street with two extra tracks on the south side.
