Maybe there’s a super secret Garinder Expressway in the sky we don’t know about?

Looks like service levels have returned to pre pandemic levels and then some on the Kitchener line. The mid day service is great. the extension of 29 to Kipling is a much needed no brainer. I feel bad for KW residents who still have to transfer on weekends. The lack of weekend service is...

I’m riding the route this fall from guelph to Goderich! Staying overnight and back again. GO Transit special route 37X with Specialized Rockhopper. Only one seat and no bathrooms. 😆

Feels like whoever recorded this has spent years using a VHS camcorder and bam last year they get a 4K function. They really like that zoom function. can some fleet ethsuthsists please explain why the new locos can’t pass over the st Mary’s trestle?

I take it the routing is 400> 11> 17> 417? Find it a little odd they’re going north of Algonquin park.

RIP VIA service. Weekend service to Bramlea would be great. I was there in 2018 just as they closed sections off for construction. Some weekends service on the Kitchener line is all I ask for now.

I'd add St Mary's in there. Is small but the community is very vocal and organized for more train service. If they get GO then it'll become a very popular, quaint, hip village for weekend escapes. Mount Dennis will be very popular too. As long as there's at least one stop with UP Express that...

If the Ontario PCs and Federal Conservatives are smart they will announce London GO service together at one of the stations in a swing riding. Thereby Outflanking the Liberals who announced exactly what you just described regarding VIA. Have service start just before the election.

That’s a very exciting development! metrolinx wouldn’t be spending lots of money on fuel and wages to train crews and move a train over a weekend without being serious about future service. for service using existing stations Metrolinx will have to building the accessible platforms. My guess is...

Decent Weekend service on the Kitchener Line is all I ask. I’m not expecting all day but say at least 2 trains from Kitchener in the morning and 2 back would be nice. Run hourly service to BramBefore the pandemic VIA would be sold out by Guelph and as there’s no standing room you’re SOL. I’ve...

It’s great seeing other diamonds also being removed. I remember being on the O Train and waiting for a VIA train to pass.

Realistically what would service look like? Not running weekend service would be stupid as the majority of users would be off pealed travellers. Friday nights would be very popular for getting to Stratford and London.

Property expropriation is a 15 month process under the act. But the fact that the Crossways is not actively pushing for a underground connection shows how poorly run management is. I mean, who doesn’t want plenty of new business to their underground mall? They’ve gone full faulty towers.

Never go full Steven Del Duca. you can tell the Liberals are in full election mode with empty promises no actual actions. At least Metrolinx ran a train to London to test potential service.

Kitchener line @ Liberty Village? For a second this look like the Canadian heading out west.

Finally! In March 2020 the station closed in all but name. Now it’s officially closing in name!

I wonder if this is level boarding at the NA industry standard (32 inches?) or GOs own level standard. I hope it’s the former so VIA can easier use these stations.

I hear the old Greyhound Station is available. Bus seriously the local government should own the train/bus intermodal stations to encourage ease of use. Guelph Central can easily handle new bus service and London's station should be no different.

Well that’s one way to fend off dropping poll numbers. But as the line runs through UCP heartland and property will be required and many roads closed I’m curious if this will make it to the construction phase.

Speed River Bridge, Guelph Lots of work on the rail bridges. Ever since Metrolinx took over ownership of the line (November 2017?) work has slowly ramped up to allow for higher capacity and faster speeds.
