They are nice trains. It's the truth (according to me).
I can second that. And they are great for those who travel by bike with plenty of space and low floor access.
Just to add to the sensibility of using the Stouffville line, they are allready undertaking a $47 million project to construct an underpass to divide the GO corridor and a CN Rail corridor (see press release here). It is entirely possible that they had an LRT plan in mind when they planned the underpass project but no diamond intersections this makes the line an ideal candidate. Also note that this project will finish at the end of 2007. Given OC Transpo will likely decommision use of the Talents sometime in mid 2007 to rebuild the current stretch of track, it would be a fair to assume that the Talents can be delivered and for GO to have their new service up and running by the end of 2007 or early 2008.
