I mean width should be practically the same. I do agree that as always Metrolinx' numbers feel off (though whether its up or down depends on the number) that being said, I do think we could eke out a lot more capacity from a train with a better layout for short trips - i.e. longitudinal.

No, that is assuming trains (not to mention capacity) much smaller than what Metrolinx has openly spec'd 90s for new build is absolutely doable - its done on a bunch of lines out there even a few lines with better signalling retrofitted. The Taipei EMUs are no comparable, a 4 car set is less...

Trains are relatively custom, should be fine

Pretty sure they are not manufactured in NA and these won't be either - just like REM and Canada Line

HUGE day, Rolling Stock and South Construction Contracts preferred proponents which most notably include Hitachi and the companies that worked with them to build Metro in Copenhagen and Rome The trains from Hitachi used on Line C in Rome have Overhead Line power and seem like a reasonable...

Had a great time checking out the trains during the event yesterday (and even got to go on a test train) - these trains are going to be great for Line 2!

Contracts are signed and Toronto is getting electric regional rail with European signalling and it’s even better than we expected! Check out my latest video!

Haven't posted in a while (though check out the article here I did on the announcement - https://urbantoronto.ca/news/2022/04/torontos-regional-rail-network-go) For all those talking about 3.5 minute headways my understanding is this refers to what will be several key quad track sections, like...

A video update on construction works at Agincourt and Kennedy GO

This week, I got a really cool opportunity to visit the Davenport Diamond Grade Separation project onsite, and also got to talk to the project lead! Enjoy!

Got to visit the site today and it was a very cool experience! Full video coming soon.

I moved heaven and earth to do this one same day! Canada's National Rail Carrier VIA has unveiled its new fleet, and the trains are among the nicest I’ve ever seen, come for a tour with me in this latest video!

Visiting the deepest station in Canada on the REM was an incredible experience - Come along for the ride!

Made a video talking about the Midtown Line and how amazing it could be for GO, it really could connect to a ton of other corridors!

This should be interesting

Why thank you! I will say, I was pretty determined to be concise with this video - even though it was 18 minutes. My original script was three times as long and I sort of painstakingly took details out! Someone mentioned on Twitter but you really do need like an hour to cover the scope! Thanks...

Big fan of the new stations, but the fact that not all services are stopping at them is frustrating.

I really think there's promise to having more local bus routes in Toronto use double deckers:

Happy birthday, TTC! This is what I think the transit agency's greatest achievement is.

Had a great time riding on the surface section of the line yesterday! Enjoy this video.
