    GO Transit Fleet Equipment and other

    I thought has occurred to me. Has GO/Metrolinx retired any of it's bi-level cars, or have they just refurbished every one right from the eighties onwards?

    If one thinks positive, this could just be a first step, get your toes wet, Covid service. As time moves on and more people travel and Megabus has some experience with the numbers of passengers, they may consider ramping up far more service on this route.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    The 3rd track at Unionville is a pocket track not intended to be extended further north, therefore no new bridge over Enterprise Drive is required. I believe this track will allow for an all stop train to originate at Unionville, while a Lincolinville originating train can operate express to...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Is it Metrolinx dragging it's feet, or CN, as this will ultimately be a CN construction project on a CN owned and operated subdivision.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    There are certain clearances for structures from the tracks. This is especially true on tracks that still have active freight trains operating on them. I believe Metrolinx builds platform canopies with those clearances in mind.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    I wonder if the opening will be as grand, with Bollywood dancers, fireworks, grand political speeches and other much ado about nothing?

    I believe that bridge is NEXUS card activated vehicle crossing only.

    Planned Sprawl in the GTA

    This Stouffville development has got me thinking where the next place to grow up, not out will be. Barrie is starting to develop a skyline, but I wonder if other non GTA locations will start to see skyline defining height. Will it be a Kingston, Peterborough, Collingwood, Parry Sound or even a...

    You should have said it was for the Daily Planet, as the Newspaper next door was the inspiration for Clark Kent's employer.

    Roads: GTA West Corridor—Highway 413

    I just wanted to say that I am really enjoying the debate recently in this thread. I find the debate very constructive. Points and positions on both sides are reasonably being understood and thoughtfully considered and it seems like an old school professional debate as opposed to a more modern...

    I'm just curious why a crane is being erected when not one shovelful of excavation has taken place yet. Usually there is a hole in the ground before a crane is erected.

    VIA Rail

    I am not an accountant, and I stand to be corrected if I'm way off on this, but I believe the GST system works this way. A business collects GST on all it's sales, subtracts the GST paid on all its inputs to make those sales (In VIA's case Diesel, cleaning supplies, food and beverage sold...

    Metrolinx: Other Items (catch all)

    On Google maps, I saw a TTR location near Delta BC. I assumed this was an error, but upon looking at streetview, the sign on the building was indeed the Toronto TTR logo.
