My assumption is the first ride for all of the media and politicians, these things tend to happen a couple of days (or weeks) before the line opens to the public.

Made a map that shoes if the major projects of the 80's had been built as originally intended (Network 2011, GO ALRT, and the Etobicoke and Scarborough RT's). For the ERT and DRL I went with the outcome that they use ALRT trains since their proposed routes overlapped with ALRT and the Province...

After making my video for GO ALRT I have deiced to make a map of what the possible station for the Northern and Southern Lines could be today. As far as I know the project never made it far enough for station locations to solidify so this is just my best guess for the most likely stops given a...

I know this may not be this threads useaul thing but I thought you may appreciate this. I am currently working on my video for GO ALRT and made 3D models of the ALRT vehicles for use in the video (yes I am trying to upgrade my production values by using Blender models/Animations). Also for...

Do we know which line will be the first to be electrified? I would imagine it would be the LSE since Metrolinx owns the entire line, its triple tracked, and the yard in Whitby was designed with overhead caternary in mind. The only level crossings are at Manse Road and Beechgrove Drive and you...

Yes I know we had this conversation, I was there when it was happening, but that's not what my post is about. All I am doing to is responding to a previous post to say that yes you can operate a frequent service with Bi-Level EMU's and posted an example of a city doing that.

Idk Sydney seems to do a very good job using Bi-Level EMU's. For perspective service levels are apparently every 5 minutes during rush hour and every 10 minutes off-peak and on weekends. Their most heavily used line T1 - Northshore and Western Line moved 41.9 Million riders in 2021/2022. By...

Perhaps we can have a thread dedicated to transit plans, drawing, and schematics for projects past and present? Like a repository where those things will always be available.

All of these: https://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/search.jsp?Ntt=GO+ALRT They couldn't find the Report of the Northern Line though. Id reccomend going to the 2nd floor desk like I did since some of the books are up there and you have to request them, while the majority are in the stacks which...

Not sure if this is truly the right thread for this, but I went down to the Reference Library to get some materials on GO ALRT and thought you guys might like to see some of it (I took the photos with my phone so the quality may not be super good on some images). I'll start with photos from...

Not saying I doubt you or that you're wrong but wouldn't any streetcar operators have a leg up on the competition considering their prior experience with operating LRV's on the road as well as operating Flexity LRV's (not saying the Outlooks and Freedoms are the exact same but they are from the...

Well for the Souffville line the opportunities for infill stations would have to be Lawrence, and Finch with maybe an extension to Uxbridge. As for the LSE I think you could justify an infill station somewhere between Danforth and the future East Bayfront since its about a 5km gap which is on...

I think this issue could be remedied by removing the 2nd person up front with the engineer and reassigning/training them to be an engineer. As it stands now GO Trains operate with 2 men upfront so you could hypothetically double the number of engineers by simply making the 2nd man an engineer...

This is something I have though of recently as well, and while I don't know what MX's solution is the one I came to you was a replacement at a 1:1 ration, for every 1 trains worth of Bi-Levels retired you replace it with an EMU (factor in spares as well for what ever GO's operational spare ratio...
