Heads up for anyone in Hamilton, there is a William White film crew in and around the station today. My train was filmed coming in, and there were holiday garland-type decorations on the edge of the canopy of the northern platform.

That was my first impression. I didn't want to believe it.

They are hiring 2 more classes as well, plus running another engineer and conductor class... I expect probably increases in January

As a European, the thing which surprises me about transfers such as are occurring now is the ONXpress doesn’t simply inherit Alstom’s workforce under what in the UK is called TUPE. I guess it’s not quite the same here.

When TUPE regulations apply - TUPE: employee rights - Acas
How employees can know when TUPE applies and when their rights are protected.

Christmas movies are really big business these days. There's a great podcast on this I listened to from November 2022 with an executive from Lifetime.
They note across all networks in North America there's now more than 100 original Christmas movies made every year, not repeats or remakes, but brand new ones.
And a lot of them are made right here in the GTAH.

They were filming a Hallmark christmas movie in my office building a few weeks ago. Could even be the same one but there's no way to know since the Hallmark Christmas movies are all the sameChristmas movies are really big business these days.

They follow a formulaic script and are dirt cheap to make.

Sometimes they make two movies at the same time... Just swap an actor and run the scene again.

Has this become the Hallmark/Christmas movie thread? I get tangents...........but this one has little connection to the thread's core subject matter. Perhaps we could get back on the proverbial track here?

I really wish my favourite fake hallmark Christmas movie: Missile Tow starring Liam Neeson finally gets made.

Considering measuring the air quality on the GO and TTC trains as well as busses. Wondering if anyone would be interested in this info! I'm also looking for advice on any places to try or other tips!

Something like that would have to be contracted out by either Go or the TTC or professionally setup by an outside organization with their permission..

I'd just bring a portable (handheld) air quality meter on a few of the vehicles while riding. It's by no means definitive but I feel like it would be interesting to get an idea
