If there's one thing that Metrolinx is good for, it's laying on the marketing wank thick.

Here's a great Metrolunx video on how to get to Budweiser Stage. Oddly, they avoid showing what it's really like when there's 16,000 people all leaving at the same time when a concert ends and they're all funneled onto that one narrow footbridge.
Edit: I've been told that people can also use the pedestrian crossing at New Brunswick Way, though I would guess not during the Indy race weekend, and maybe not during the CNE?

I don’t think the terminology matters very much for safety announcements… a train going 30km/h or 320km/h will do the same damage to someone if they aren’t paying attention.

actually its different... getting run over at 30km/h is going to be a slow agony while it will be painless and instant at 300km/h

Yeah but the end result is the same, and can be prevented if someone steps back from the edge of the platform.

Trust me, the public does not care what the official designation of a high speed train is, standing next to a 140km/h vehicle is gonna seem pretty high speed to anyone
 
There is an article on BlogTO about a new UPX station at St. Clair but can’t read as not a subscriber. Is this true or a typo that should say ‘Mt Dennis’?
 
Thanks! So the use of the UPX as a subway line is becomming a reality! Question: to maintain speed I wonder if the AirPort Express trains will skip several stations? 🚉

No subscription needed. Maybe that was some momentary glitch?

Here's the UT thread about that station:

St Clair-Old Weston GO Station | 9.13m | 1s | City of Toronto | Hatch

This is the new GO Station to be built at St. Clair on the Kitchener corridor. The site as is: Union Street frontage: Gunns/Weston frontage: The App: http://app.toronto.ca/AIC/index.do?folderRsn=LBku9FysC%2BUBsEnr%2B3gPtQ%3D%3D From the Docs: Wow is this one ugly. Utilitarian...

Wait you have to subscribe to read BlogTO now?

And you’re not wrong. The City – which is on the hook for the “SmartTrack” stations – is looking to make the St. Clair-Old Weston Road Station UPX only.

Generally only attached to the lead article.........as soon as the article gets bumped down, that request no longer comes up.

That said, you can end run it just like any other paywall.

* They've left this open enough it could also be the Eglinton West connection to Pearson, but two threads is enough for now! *
