That's a crusade against human lives. Why not just legalize automatic weapons?

I don't see this being an announcement. And I don't see Ford jumping on an early election after their PC's relatively poor showing in the by-election today, which was a lot lower than their 2018 and 2022 results. I'd guess 2026. So maybe before the Crosstown opens ... :)

I don't think anyone has mentioned that CP is handing over control of any of the Belleville, Winchester, Adirondack, or Parc subdivisions. Or that they are in poor shape. Sure Havelock, but the alignment is so poor, it's going to take a lot of alignment work that I still don't think is...

Federal government will ask have to sign a cheque, be it lump sum, or monthly until the 2070s.

There were speculations previously by generally unreliable media that staff had gone behind the boards' and chair's backs to extend the contract to 30 years. Which I'm guessing included dropping wifi. Should be an interesting meeting next week.

The board has made no policy change to get rid of wifi at stations. There's a motion to the board to continue service in stations AND to establish "a plan for the establishment of a pilot for free Wi-Fi on bus and street platforms and bays at stations". ??? This is standard procedure. The...

This week perhaps. Perhaps in 20 years, when something finally proceeds forward. Obviously this current proposal is dead once the cost comes in and/or the Conservatives get in power.

HFR primarily runs along other railways as well. I fundamentally don't see the difference, over which railway is being more co-operative this week.

Originally it was supposed to open years before the Ontario Line. I've never heard that one before, so you have a source for that?

I'm curious if any of the three consortiums proposed the VIA Fast route for either option (CN track through Kingston, and greenfield from there to Smith Falls). (I say that without reading VIA Fast, just going by what was said back then, before the Liberals killed it.

I'm well aware, as I used to live near Girouard and Upper Lachine Road. I wasn't for a second suggesting anything outside existing rail corridors west of at least Guy. Calling Central station a direct connection to the Green Line is pushing it. Also, Union Station has no direct connection to...

I don't think anyone is suggesting that for the HFR service. Nor would I expect it. Though there's big cities where one does have to go from one train station to another to continue a trip. Paris, London. Not that I'd design a city that way. At the same time, I don't think either of those cities...

You could run an RDC or even a DMU from Central Station in Montreal, right into the platforms at Pearson Airport tomorrow if you wanted to. It would cause a mess with service though ... :)

I don't see how they survive the winter salt, let alone the plough scraping the road. What might work is lighting that tries to create a similar effect, mounted on a pole.

All the talk here of infrastructure-based solutions is great. But this magic solution of Ford's doesn't seem to be infrastructure-based. It's something that would be done by legislation. And again I struggle to think of anything else but tolls - and perhaps the businesses that are pushing this...

It looks like BlogTO is reading the forum again - https://www.blogto.com/city/2024/09/eglinton-crosstown-lrt-milestone-2024/ Hey Jack - it's "operator driver training" not "operator river training". Though "operator training" seems simpler...

How is changing trains in Montreal. Something that as far as I know, one has had to do from Toronto to Quebec City for the last 150 years, a show stopper. It would be easier than ever with the much higher frequencies. Well they should all stop somewhere under all circumstances. And that's...

They don't even maintain to their own standards. My wife - who has lived in Toronto for 50 years, and used to commute through Union for years, got misdirected in Union Station the other day. Coming west from the bus, past Scotiabank, there's that passageway to the right, which now goes to the...

Either that was very quick, or I'm blind. I was there last Tuesday, and I didn't see anything at Peter. And I stopped walking and looked around carefully. (perhaps I am blind! :) )

I don't normally wander around Adelaide, west of York or east of Spadina. But walking down Peter the other day I noticed that there's no sign of any overhead yet! I'm sure many here are fully aware of that, and it's been discussed - but it's gone right over my head. I can see that there's...
