TTC should re-gauge a pair of T1 cars, and stick a pantograph on top just to confuse the hell out of everyone.

And then have a PCC running behind it!

Don't forget a GO cab.

One thing to bear in mind when comparing Ottawa LRV lengths with Toronto ones - Ottawa is using 1500V DC, not 750 or 600V, so more* power can be delivered at the same amperage through the wire.

* in theory twice as much using basic voltage/current/resistance equations but in practice presumably somewhat less - my last electrical lectures were 15+ years ago.

What kind of bike lanes does the Eglinton Connects plan presume? The same flexipost/painted line atrocity?

Doubt it. They have to pay huge penalties if it's not open by September 2021

What about Bombardier ? Or did they order from Alstom ?

Bombardier should be delivering the first Flexity Freedom vehicle by end of November or beginning of December.

That is the way you spell it in French.

^^ You'll see that on the Metrolinx owned Line 5.

Wait, will the station and train announcement on the Crosstown be bilingual? Oh no...

In a move that will drive the Premier mad, I think you'll have to see it on all the lines if they are uploaded to the province. Français partout!

I wonder if the Premier will be issuing an edict to MTO to remove French from the next stop announcements on GO.

That might happen, but then look at what Trudeau might say to that.

Trudeau would say little. He'd first wait for the Quebec media to react, knowing that every time Ford attacks linguistic minorities, it hurts Conservative chances in Quebec.
