As an aside to the topic heading, but closely related to it, especially so in light of the CIB participation: https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2019/06/03/province-says-it-wants-federal-money-for-the-ontario-line-ottawa-says-it-needs-more-answers.html I can see the InfraBank playing an ever...

I expect to see discussion on 'daylighting' many of those terms and conditions, since the participation of the Cdn Infrastructure Bank makes this also pertinent under Federal Law. Not that the Feds have been anywhere near compliant on FOI and just open accounting on many things, as the Globe's...

And here's your reference: https://rdso.indianrailways.gov.in/works/uploads/File/Railway _Gazette_Double_Stack Container(1).pdf What do you think "Dedicated Freight Corridor" might mean? Here's a pic from that reference: For some odd reason, using a panto that tall for rapid passenger use...

By their terms? That's adding as little as possible to the Provincial debt. They want this kicked down the road as far as possible. The point is they *don't* want to spend anything on anything that they can possibly avoid. Well, other than firing Hydro chiefs, taking impossible cases to court...

So let's get this clear, are you stating that CN and CP aren't barring catenary on their track? Don't get me started on whether it can be cleared on not by double-stack, yes it can, with provisions. And one of those provisions is to raise panto height, a real performance detriment for modern...

Like catenary? CBTC? That rules out CN and CP right there. (To be more precise, for catenary, double stack will be barred, which presents a problem at Oakville and beyond)(and Brampton/Georgetown and other locations) At least VIA are partially embracing PTC due to US compatibility.

Neither do the public. QP has retained expertise alright. They know how to spin up a time machine. And meantime QP has built....what exactly? The cost of any infrastructure is kicked into the future. QP's present costs? $280M, and even that is disbursed over time. How's that Ontario Line...

Could you provide a link, quote or reference for this? I've been scouring the web for any definitive information, and can find none.

Analysis of 501 Queen: Why Are Trips Taking Longer? by Steve

^ By far the best overview published so far that I've read. I note RICS having an article linked on the page. RICS is a well known neutral UK stalwart for overviews on the UK housing and mortgage market. UK Residential Market Survey - RICS RICS promo for this Expansion announcement: LEARN...

I wouldn't be so sure. Metrolinx themselves are claiming the term is dead. It's "Expansion" now, don't ya know? And this is just a limited RFP. The posted copy is a standard form, absolutely no specifics on the actual details, but I find this worthy of close scrutiny, especially in lieu of...

^ @Mapleson : Excellent answers! My apologies for not realizing you're 'well up' on the issue. Just took a brief look at the TC link, and I've quoted from that prior too, IIRC the locomotive spec also states "APTA"...but not much else. Since those pages have been 're-written' it's actually more...

It's exactly the point, obliviousness on one subject.

How 'bout those Raptors, eh?

I find your point interesting....but bordering on fantasy. Exactly how is the 'Brampton to Georgetown' segment going to be addressed? Or do you mean just to Bramalea, as the RER scheme always presented? Yeahhh...I'm not being a doubting Thomas on this, just I'd love to see a reference in print...

It's a bit like judging whether the football team will win or not by the enthusiasm of the cheerleaders and coach.

Incredibly by today's discussion on this very topic, your question is addressed in the "esplanade tripartite agreement"...

"Backstop" becomes a key word...but as you infer, it's not as simple as it might look to be first glance. Beyond the obvious logical equations of the two levels of government offering backstops (an assumption, but for the sake of making this point): What if a follow-on Ontario government decides...

They more than abandoned it, they got pimped.
