Indeed, both Metrolinx and the City of Mississauga have done studies on it. Cooksville GO Mobility Hub Study Vision Cooksville

A link for the post. SpiceJet orders up to 50 Bombardier Q400 turboprops, listed at $1.7 billion U.S.

I think the current speed limit outside of stations is 80 km/h and inside of stations is 50 km/h. The 50 km/h limit isn't a very big problem for Miway routes because they have to slow down to check for passengers anyways.

I believe that the Transitway's main purpose is to speed up Miway routes 107 and 109, and to that extent it has done pretty well. There was never any expectation(at least from me) that the intermediate stations will attract very many passengers, or that it will speed up GO routes(unless highway...

All valid points. However, I presume that most people here know that none of the things proposed in the thread will actually happen in the foreseeable future. I have never been on the Northlander thread, but I think that service actually makes a lot of sense, so people there are more serious.

Better than sitting in a cramped car(with no room to stretch or walk around) stuck in traffic.

Do you mean privatised? GO and VIA were not around when CN was created as a government entity back in the 1920s.

Excellent video on this topic by Wendover Productions.

24 if you count both directions.

Bus rapid transit: London city hall is restarting talks with the last big hurdle along its BRT route, Western University Western University's demands are quite something. BRT with maximum frequency of 15 minutes, anyone?:rolleyes:

As @muller877 said, the navy has no base in Newfoundland. The closest naval base to the arctic is HMC Dockyard Halifax. What I was thinking is that the navy refurbishes the port of Churchill and turns it into a naval base.

Maybe we could put a couple of coast guard icebreakers, the Harry DeWolfe class OPVs and a few arctic capable subs up there? With the Northwest Passage becoming a reality, some capabilities up there would certainly do no harm. Churchill would be a great supply point and maintenance depot for...

I don't think politics will allow this to happen. Especially with Justin Trudeau in office. But it's an interesting idea nevertheless.

Yes, it was the wording on their website that confused me. See my post http://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/ion-light-rail-kitchener-waterloo-u-c-king-victoria-transit-terminal.19202/page-101#post-1244485 Nevertheless, it's currently behind schedule, though they could still easily catch up and...

No penalties to Ottawa LRT contractor for missing Canada Day target @niftz is probably right that I mistook finishing civil work for opening for limited service Edit: I think this(the screenshot I uploaded) is what I saw. It's still on their website by the way.

Actually, no. The Confederation Line was supposed to open for limited service by Canada day of 2017, but clearly that has not happened. Although I do understand that no penalties were given to the builders.

Ambitious regional railway plan attracts investor attention

As EastYorkTTCFan said, the UPX was built to provide premium(though it's not so premium anymore) express service between Union and Pearson. It is not part of the Regional Express Rail(RER) plan. If you want to learn more about GO's RER plan, then you should visit...

You're probably right. I assumed that the train hit the car at low speed and therefore did not push it very far.
