Perhaps this is the wrong thread for this, so please move my post if it's in the wrong place, but the former Sam's location is now completely levelled (small bits were still hanging on for dear life last week). With the demolition complete, it appears as if the sidewalk canopies (is that the...

I went to each stage of the public consultation and it was always made clear that the corridor would be better served by LRT, but that BRT had to be considered in order for a fair evaluation to come to that conclusion. I'm really impressed with the level of detail put into this Master Plan...

I can't speak for stations in the East Region, however I know enough heaters were ordered and delivered for installation at most stations west of Union.

As far as I can gather, with the help of other railfans, I don't believe any of the F59s have been scrapped. Many are being used in AMT commuter service in Montreal, while others are leased out across the continent by RBRX. Some are being used in Michigan for the new MiTrain commuter service...

My apologies for replying to such an old post in an equally as old thread, however I noticed someone mentioned the area of Dixie and Winding Trail for this photo. This is indeed correct, and the view in that photo is looking northeast on Williamsport Drive towards Gulledin Drive. I'll stop by...

There have been no reallocations of subway equipment. Any seemingly increased presence of the H5s on the YUS is purely coincidental on your part.

Exactly! If GO only ran its full peak period trains and they were not subject to any ridership loss associated with removing other services, GO would turn a profit. I think you misunderstood me however I do think each line should have off-peak service (as they do now). I only support trains...

Generally GO's cost recovery ratio is very high and as far as I know, the highest of any transit agency on the continent. There's much more to a train's viability than just its riders. Many of the Lakeshore trains run empty in one direction, however carry considerably more people in the opposite...

Trains on the Georgetown line are 10 cars long. This will not change until the existing stations platforms (and the layover) are lengthened, and based on our recent construction at Brampton GO Station, 12 car trains are not a priority on the Georgetown Line. Note how poor the service frequency...

Based on the extensive enquiries about the project, and the fact that more than just a few people have been involved in the groups pushing for the service, we can be sure the service will be well-used. The explosive success of bus services to Guelph and Kitchener shortly after their...

While this appears to have been lost over the years, "Heavy Rail" is just that, heavy rail that is the same weight as rail used on railroads, where "Light Rail" uses rail with a lower pound/yard number. ---- My photos and video from Davisville at 4:45xm Wednesday night...

The main thing is that this has finally been announced to the public and that commitment will hold the provincial government to funding GO Transit to do it. I know for a fact that station construction and improvements for the extension were in the budget for 2012/13, with a layover facility in...
