When / if ML builds the Breslau station there will be a closer connection point, but still 8 km with the current road setup:

Another benefit may be cross-platform transfers between stopping and express services in one direction with change-platform transfers in the other, rather than change-platform transfers in both directions.

In 2019, Metrolinx included this schematic diagram of the target layout in Union Station rail corridor in a public consultation. It states 30% RCD. Note that the west-facing stub track (13W in the diagram) seems to have moved eastwards so it now overlaps the trainshed, instead of starting...

Unfortunately no. This photo, from Wednesday, shows there's still a single track exiting Georgetown GO to the west. Extending the line on the north side of the island platform would sever the only accessible route to the platform. Question: would installing one signal (facing west & just...

Metrolinx awarded engineering consultant R J Burnside a contract to design the revised station layout in November 2021 but the only sign of progress I've seen was some surveying at the site earlier this year. There's been no public consultation although the basic layout, from 2009 work is an...

From Monday, the 16:19 and 16:49 trains are scheduled to make the run in 1h 39m

WSP to design CP Rail’s hydrogen refuelling facilities in Alberta Construction is expected to begin later this year. WSP will design two hydrogen production and refuelling facilities for construction in Calgary and Edmonton to support a Canada Pacific (CP) Rail program. With $15 million in...

This location - where Metrolinx's Uxbridge sub intersects with the start of CP's Havalock sub - would be the location a new rail connection if HFR trains are routed through Kennedy Station rather than down the Don Branch? Perhaps plans are on-hold pending some decision by the Federal Govt's...

I tried to capture things Matt Clark stated in his presentation at Metrolinx board meeting. If this seems off, we'll have to wait for the meeting video to posted to see what he actually said.

"Tunnel boring machine has completed 275m of [single track] tunnel for Eglinton West LRT Extension." "Completion in 2024". Matt Clark in Metrolinx board meeting

"Six bids have been received for the Ontario Line South Construction RFP by ML / IO" Matt Clark

During the Metrolinx Board Mtg, Phil Verster reports the following % of pre-COVID traffic levels: GO Transit Weekend 100% GO Transit Weekday 45% UP Express 56%

Ultimately a grade separated junction is proposed. But only "when traffic delays become nearly intolerable (anticipated by 2041)." :rolleyes...

It looks like there are proposals for a new arterial road (A2) and the widening of Coleraine Drive to move trucks to the extended Hwy 427. The issue is timeline, so perhaps lobby Regional Councillors to start the build earlier...

Pure speculation but the blog post for USEP kickoff included an image with a 2-level platform for the southern-most platform at Union: https://blog.metrolinx.com/2022/02/16/torontos-union-station-enhancement-project-kicks-off/

I'd remind folks that one of the first things Ford did, when he came to power, was cancel the rail bypass of Brampton and Georgetown and the proposed high-speed-rail service between London & Toronto. A fast TO-Airport-Guelph-Kitchener-London would have brought London into the Tech corridor, one...

https://www.metrolinx.com/en/greaterregion/projects/caledonia-station.aspx Construction start 2022, taking two years. So, likely to open after the Eglinton LRT.

Truss bridges seem to be used for longer spans now but they're still being built.

That's what I'm hoping. This snip (from a Metrolinx presentation to City of Brampton, I think) calls it the Credit g/s and locates it between the new layover and Georgetown Station. The lands detailed are the only significant usable stretch between Winston and Gtown Station, immediately west...
