Appreciate you posting these! What was the name/number of the book in the reference library? I’d love to have a look at it myself.

Couldn’t have said it better, in the end we all gain from the work being done on the Lakeshore East Line right now, people that complain like the one in the screenshot above clearly don’t understand what work is happening and why it needed to happen. Which is a bit ironic because their name is...

I know I took the photos! I heard someone mention it on Twitter but didn’t think that was actually going to happen, then I immediately saw it when I got off

Sucks that you can’t edit messages on Twitter, in my last reply I forgot to put the word “can’t” between accidents happen. Here’s another angle showing the GO train parked on platform 17-18, which probably hasn’t happened in a long time:

You don’t see GO trains on 17-18 very often Or VIA trains attached to GO trains either:

It’s a far cry but the store inside the subway station might also have milk

That alignment was studied in 2010 along with a few other alignments that used the CP line to Niagara:

There are 3 convenience stores at Union, technically 5 if you include the baggage check store in the SkyWalk and the Union Plaza entrance store.

Between 15:00-23:00, half hourly outside of that

All of the series 5 cars were repainted fairly recently, as well as a lot of series 7 coaches before they get sent away for refurbishment. Metrolinx isn’t following the repaint-only-when-refurbished thing anymore

Keep in mind the line doesn’t exist because the project in its entirety was deemed infeasible.

These were all the station locations studied in 2 Peterborough Line feasibility studies done by GO in 1997 and Metrolinx in 2007, its not included in this table but a spur to Summerhill was also proposed in a late 2000’s study, however I don’t know if it was the 2007 one specifically. I don’t...

I’m not a fan of kiosks and stores on the expanded platforms, the whole reason they’re being expanded is so they can hold more people, kiosks like that would just impede the flow. Don’t forget the “historic” shed is staying, and the light boxes will be too, so there will still be pillars and...

Trust me, employees do not care unless you’re doing something that’s disrupting them or disrupting passengers enough that they report it to the employee onboard. A handheld air quality monitor would not be a problem to anyone, and I highly doubt there’s even a rule about using something like...

The buffalo sandwich at Union Chicken is amazing, albeit extremely expensive now since they jacked up the prices and closed their takeaway Union Market location.

I had no idea podcasts could be linked on UrbanToronto, you learn something new every day

Freshly Squeezed/Cheesecake factory is almost ready to open, that was quick:

I found concept schedules for 2032 5pm outbound Lakeshore West departures from Union Station in a Union Station Enhancement Project document that was on a City of Toronto website. The schedules I found was from a 2021 draft that was likely presented to Metrolinx by OnXpress during the bidding...

(This isn’t directed to your message RS3488) I don’t really understand why people are so surprised and/or mad that the old cab cars aren’t being used yet, not only is there a major staff shortage right now, but the amount of cab cars in the GO fleet far outweighs the amount of engines. On top...

All of the operators from Alstom (CSA’s, CTO’s, and QCTO’s, and probably some other positions that are essential to keeping the network running) will be transferring over to Alstom, no need for them to reapply. There was a line drawn somewhere though, higher management at Alstom definitely...
