Even on double Deckers they should use the luggage bays or just order the transit versions like Ottawa with more seats.

That's a CPCK issue.

There is only one flight from Toronto to North Bay twice a week. The bus is a better option.

When the Northlander did run did ONR crews stay in a Hotel in Toronto and then depart the next day? If service is only 3 days a week, how is that going to work

12 car trains to fit half a bus worth? The yard is owned by CN and they would need some kind of lease agreement.

How about instead of showing 100KM wide area being shown as expropriated draw a line that represents the potential path with the actual size of the corridor? The current diagram makes it look like the corridor is 200 lanes wide. Perhaps that's where the confusion begins?

So now that we know that the O Ring was responsible both times and even though they were told NOT to assemble it in that way they did it anyways which resulted in another leak. This is a systemic culture problem. I was told not to do it but who cares I'm going to do it anyways kind of...

Could they not dead head to Stratford in the morning? It could be that with the time savings on the route gives crews enough time for service to be extended to Stratford? Do any trains dead head to Toronto in the evening? You could have a late Stratford departure to Toronto for tourists or...

Buying the corridor would make sense but the train could be starting from Stratford and not going to London.

So Queensway will still be 50kmph?

I dont know about cheaper, hybrids have about a 20% fuel savings, on a vehicle of that size that's a lot. Also newer hybrids have been proven to be very reliable.

Oh right. Those were rockets too. But the D40 90's had other issues too. And the TTC was warned that the engines were too powerful. Why wasn't 6V92 an option for the new flyer?

For whatever reason the EGR units smoked more the the PRE EGR units. Also the Orion VII'S were stainless steelt frames making them heavier which could be why they felt slower than the Orion V's. We never had any buses with 6v92. The D40 90's were very fast but the engine literally shook the...

How? There is no space

I guess going to a ballast model would increase the weight and would not be supported? And the reason why they didnt do that to begin with was because they would need to make the concrete more sturdy to support the weight of the ballast and they would be too heavy to lift the pre-cast sections.
