^ I really hope I didn’t get @mashdash in trouble with my post… This was posted afterwards: Post Then this reply by @Enalung: Post

I really feel sorry for all the American TAs that loved their LFSes. Gillig would be such a downgrade. God forbid a Gillig ever comes near a Canadian TA.

Today, I just wanted to showcase a truly beautiful soul. @mashdash is a graphic designer who has been making up for the ARTM’s and REM’s shortcomings, by installing official-looking signage himself, on his own dime (~ $30). Gare Centrale (vicinity): Source Source Panama: Source The stash...

It’s bigger than just America... Volvo recently decided to close its bodybuilding factory in Wroclaw. They will instead focus on chassis production, and partner with external bodybuilders. Seems to be an all around restructuring. They still have a chassis factory in Brazil, and a complete bus...

Kwabena Oduro (CBC) made this video: Your REM questions answered, where at 1:35mins he says this: I don’t buy this for a minute what he’s talking about. The site has already been selected. Proof: Source 2027 would be a pathetic joke for this infill station. @mashdash on AgoraMtl may beg to...

This signage was presented as evidence of Griffintown on AgoraMtl: Source Surprised they went with the ”GRF”-acronym instead of ”GBL”. I really hope this station opens in 2024. Edit: Source

Wasn’t sure where to post this… new Tube announcements being rolled out warning of beggars/buskers: Announcement begins at 0:22

Notice the unnecessary sound wall on the right side at: ~13:15 - it’s to keep private what filming happens at MELS Studios. Edit: Source

This 360-degree Brossard-Gare Centrale video needs more love (not mine): Another look at the faregates at Du Quartier: Source And the lines at Gare Centrale yesterday: Source

I’m just wondering what’s going on on the Bala Sub (Richmond Hill line) today? There’s been an unusual amount of trains passing by for a Saturday. At least 4-5, that I’ve heard by now around Sheppard Avenue.

^ Sadly, the post-Byford ”laissez-faire” attitude with the TTC at work.

For what it’s worth, at least the underground Metrolinx Line 5 stations will have next train arrivals displayed at the street-level doorways. Something the TTC should emulate…

From @Reecemartin ’s Twitter, new REM faregates installed at Du Quartier station: Enlarged image:

A GO Bus service that I fondly remember, that no longer exists, is the one that would call solely at: Oriole and Old Cummer, when the trains weren’t in revenue service. I loved using this bus because after 9pm, the driver would let you off at the intermediate TTC stops along Leslie Street. The...

^ From CPTDB, it’s 10 ex-GRT Novas (40ft), and nine ex-London 40ft New Flyers, and one 60ft. All being painted as ”conventional” units.

Not at all, but to supplement the T1s to be able to provide full service on the SSE, instead of every other train turning back at Kennedy. Edit: They could even ”sandwich” an Ankara married-pair in between two T1 pairs, to create more six-car consists.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but with the deferral of the new train purchase… Would it make sense to purchase the Ankara, Turkey H5/H6/T1 ”Frankensteins”, to supplement the T1 fleet? If we could get a good price on them. Exterior: Source Interior: Source I’m unaware of their current...

Notice the Brampton Transit logo. BT hasn’t served this terminal since around TYSSE(?).

Word on CPTDB is the white lights on the new batch of Novas are being replaced post-delivery to blue lights. What happened to the recall?
