Opening day schedule Opening weekend service hours Friday, June 21 noon to 8 p.m. Saturday, June 22 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday, June 23 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. For Lis et al, opening day parking is permitted at the adjacent mall and the Cineplex across the street.

You do. There are no GO trains of any use for visiting KW unless you're planning to stay overnight.

Since it's a weekday, I suggest the Fairway stop, which has a small park&ride lot that probably won't be heavily used yet. Failing that, there are various parking garages near the downtown stops, and the Bramm St lot ~5 minutes walk from ‘Central Station’ is free after 5pm.

San Francisco has ramps at streetcar stops, and their historic vehicles (PCCs and others) have bridge plates for the front doors. (Of course that doesn't mean they'd want rusty old CLRVs.)

I though Caltrain was going for 23.5′ wire height to pass plate K on shared lines.

I did a similar but simpler estimate recently using ‘Eurasian commuter MU’ round numbers along the existing route — 150 km/h (93mph) cruise, 1km and 1 minute for acceleration and deceleration, and 1 minute dwell. (That is slow enough that grade separation is not mandatory, and the curves are...

Well, at Pearson you can just transfer to the Bloor subway extension that runs up the hydro corridor.

I recently did a back-of-the-envelope round-number estimate on WRC. Cruise at 150km/h, brake, accelerate, and level-board at 1 minute each. This is all within the capability of off-the-shelf European commuter multiple units (e.g. the Stadler Flirt that Caltrain has also ordered for SF...

The obvious solution is to augment Aeroquay One with Aeroquays Two through Twenty, connected by an underground railway.

Never rode it, but I remember seeing the Trans Europe Express trainsets. Then it's a win-win for Premier Ford — “I want to restore the Northlander but the Federal Liberals won't let me.”

Metrolinx's dashed line location is absurd, since it's on the opposite side of the airport from the terminal, and Transport Canada frowns on runways having level crossings. (The proposed Breslau Go station location is also absurd; it's literally the least reachable point available, so it'll slow...

Page Up & Down don't work unless you first mouse-click on some non-heading non-link part of the page.

Quebec found corruption everywhere they looked. Ontario… doesn't look.

So put the catenary higher. GO peak capacity would also benefit from filling out the available loading gauge with two full levels instead of one and a half.

Maybe the Tories will build it, just to finally deprive the Liberals of their favourite reusable election promise.

Periodic reminder that Transport Canada regulations are not laws of nature — they are federal government regulations implementing federal government policy.

Those were designed, and the production set up, when CCF was owned by Hawker Siddeley. Like the European Flexities, Bombardier does fine when they have an acquired design in its original plants, and management has nothing to do but sit back and cash the cheques.

“Bombardier is right now producing vehicles for the Region of Waterloo that are identical to those that will be used on the Eglinton Crosstown. All 14 of those vehicles will be delivered to Waterloo by the end of the year.” That's a year late — assuming no further delays — which has postponed...

Kinda embarrassing for a national carrier to be bidding on museum pieces for regular revenue service.

Sure, if it weren't for that, an extension could just cut-and-cover along the former CNoR line, since it's in exactly the right place.
