I support adding stations where it makes sense. East Harbour, Concord, Confederation, Stock Yards station for the Milton line (which IMO would better serve the St. Clair street car), etc. As long as there's a decent amount of space between the stations, then I'm all for it. But you guys...

There was something just recently posted on the Miway thread. @drum118 is probably the guy to ask more about it.

And how long do you think it would take to construct an entirely new GO starion? Based on the recent article, its clear that the proposed Lakeview GO station is nothing more than a "backroom deal" Doug made with his developer buddies and didn't consult MX first. Aren't you guys usually against...

Vehemently disagree.

Yes! Thank you! Thank you! Exactly what I've been arguing for years on this forum. There are people on this forum that would be content to see stop spacing for the GO trains equivalent to a downtown streetcar because they can't say "No" to any station proposal. In their minds every proposed...

Mississauga is looking at constructing a BRT along Lakeshore that will connect with both Long Branch and Port Credit. So this new station is definitely not needed.

Hypothetical question, but if there is a collision with a vehicle at the at-grade portion of the line, does that mean the entire underground and grade separated stretches of the central and western portions of the line have to halt operations?

Disappointing to hear that while VIA's profits were up, it's operating costs were as well. Also that basically every rider is subsidised by the tax payers. The video states, more than once, that VIA rail is a public service and therefore doesn't need to generate a profit. While that may be...

I was simply using peaches as an example. I don't know what's the current state of Ontario peaches. I saw a fair amount at my local grocery this year. I'm pretty sure the land around Beamsville is protected fruit land. I'm the same. I pretty much only buy peaches when they're in season in...

I've always thought left wing politicians in Ontario should change the narrative around combatting sprawl to be less about "fighting climate change" and more about "food security" and protecting farm land from development. "Food security" resonates with more people, even those who aren't...

It's going to be a repeat of the New Year's debacle.

Even if VIA were to win this lawsuit and force CN to reverse their demand for VIA trains to slow down at grade crossings, CN will simply figure out another way to "stick it" to VIA.

The whole situation with the tunnel is so dismal. You think if Quebec had held off on the REM maybe they could have looked at upgrading the Duex-Montagnes line to something like the electric Caltrain.

Sooo... the EXO lines won't be cut? I'm not familiar with Quebec politics.

Article title is somewhat misleading. The article is discussing what was already discussed earlier about 3 of the commuter lines potentially being cut to save costs.

What's CPKC's subdivision called for where the proposed midtown line is suppose to run? Looking at the track parallel to Dupont St. It looks as if at one point CPKC had started construction on a third track on the south side, but never got around to completing it. Any particular reason why? Was...

Such a great photo! Hopefully, one day, we'll see GO trains running along this track.

My argument is about "stop spacing", and how Toronto residents want to hijack the GO train and turn it into a quasi subway and have stations less than 1km apart. Negatively impacting the people who live further away and extending their trips, making the GO train less viable compared to driving...

No! Stop adding stops on GO lines. Just have people get off at Kennedy and take the busway if this is your suggestion. No where on the proposed busway warrants a GO station. It's all low density, industrial zones better served by a busway.

So? People in wheel chairs can still access the C-train. Ramp height seems to be the only advantage low floor has over high floor. Name another advantage of low floor. No it's not. The low floor trains have higher maintenance costs. Fixed bogies vs the more conventional bogies on a high floor...
