If I'm not mistaken there is a maintenance schedule for the subway line correct? Which takes into the account the number of trains per hour, per month and what preventative maintenance is required to maintain status quo. If the track is damaged as a result of something else then of course it...

You would need to reconfigure the entire fleet unless there is some magical converter.

That leaves Flair.

Some of these areas have right curves which can cause the track to be stretched. For the straight parts where they have nightly closures....and areas where they had weekend closures....no comment.

The "service improvements"

If this CN shut down happens will it affect VIA services?

This is a great way to encourage people to drive rather than use transit.

Is it possible to J-train a Siemens set with a regular consist? Or would they run them as separate?

The Scarborough RT was a unique system that had unique requirements and maintenance procedures, and given that it was going to be shut down in a few months they probably didn't spend the proper resources to keep the system in good repair. But given that the system was maintained properly for...

Completely asleep at the wheel.

Both ways from Wilson to Yorkdale Both ways from Yorkdale to Lawrence West. There was a closure for the whole weekend, what were they doing?

But ten years later we expropriated land to basically build the same bypass that was proposed ten years ago.

Lindsay could be serviced by GO transit by extending the Peterborough route. Did CanAr not bring that route back?

Have you seen the recent investment into Amtrak? There is no political reason for the conservatives to eliminate VIA rail. Also considering that their voter base is in non urban areas, good luck getting elected in the next election if you eliminate the rural Quebec trains or Churchill. There...
