I haven't been here for awhile, but it's interesting at Richmond Hill Centre, they converted the automatic sliding doors to two single doors.

From X, ice on a subway car.

I posted precisely because of the dubious claims of the government. And you also make the state of the OSC sound inevitable for closure when you also need to consider the cost to build the replacement.

Regarding radii, even if we're only going 320 kmh, it's good future proofing on a greenfield route. There's benefits to comfort, maintenance and wear, and robustness.

I didn't realize how much discussion they added on top of the map. They key themes have important information.
