This is good news even without funding. It means that the land won't be built or ripped up for housing/commercial and it put's the corridor into political discourse,

Would you guys please stop comparing London to Ottawa as there is no analogy to be made. London cannot duplicate Ottawa's Transitway little alone LRT for several reasons: A] Ottawa had 650k and another 250k across the river when built as opposed to London's current 435k B} Ottawa built form is...

In terms of transit, I think London made the right choice with BRT. London doesn't have the linear development of K-W-C to make LRT viable. The BRT was to Fanshawe and south to White Oaks via Wellington is an excellent idea. and these are already 2 very heavily used routes. As for going north...

London does not have a horrible transit system and for it's size it's actually a pretty decent one. ShonTron is absolutely right, London does not have the long-linear urban design of KW or Ottawa. The downtown is in very rough shape right now with homelessness, drugs, rising office vacancy...

Such statements are where the phrase "truth, lies, and statistics" came from. Yes, the Utrecht has about 360k in the city compared to London's 435k and metro Utrecht is 660k compared to London's 550k so they are certainly comparable at first but then dig a little deeper and you will find that...

The guy that does the "not just bikes" series is a true jackass. He is from London and uses it as his favorite whipping boy. He somehow thinks it's fair to compare a 1000 year old European capitol city of 3 million to a NA one of only 200 years that is one-fifth the size. He shows London as a...

Talking about the future of publicly owned golf courses in a time of a housing shortage and homelessness crisis is a very needed one but relevant question.......................why is this being done in the transportation and infrastructure section?

I'm not surprised by the higher vacancy rates in the core. Downtown London has basically been under COVID for the last 4 years as so many streets have been shut down for massive reconstruction. London, for it's size, actually has a pretty good transit system and you never wait more than 15...

If London is a rust belt dying city than this country is doomed. London is one of the fastest growing cities in all Canada. As far as London Transit, it does better in ridership than most of it's similar size contemporaries. London is conservative by nature. Socially it's quite liberal and...

What's more at the stations, they don't even need wires or even actual catenary poles on the trains themselves. Seoul is already using WPT.............wireless power transfer. It of course it already has widespread usage in electric buses. Basically you just need the infrastructure of a lamppost...

No kidding. Keeping the London service is completely ridiculous and I bet most the vast of Londoners would agree. If the service where to end tomorrow and no one told the media, absolutely no one in London would even notice.

I don't think battery-only trains are a good idea especially in such a huge commuter/RER network like GO. Batteries don't work as well or last as long in colder climates and as the batteries drain so does their performance on such things as de/acceleration. Battery-only trains also weigh a ton...

London has just closed one of it's 3 city-owned golf courses, River Road. The course had been seeing declining patronage for years and it's continency fund is almost gone yet will require millions in repairs so the city decided to close it this year. The course will be turned into park land and...

Yes, GO expansion will offer more transportation option but for most, not a better one because in order for transit to be successful it must be accessible and in that metric, GO does extremely poorly. The reality is that GO is simply too expensive not only due to it's fares but also {and...

I've never understood the logic of electrifying the Barrie Line north of Aurora.

Finally some good news............the King Street construction portion of the Downtown Loop is done. The Loop in the downtown is still only half done and the Queen section is next but that will be much less disruptive. For those who do not know the city well, King is a major commercial area and...

I should have been more specific as when I said GO I just meant the RER portion. Yes, I know it not just throwing up some wires but a decade for 250km of track is something that can still be done in 2 or max 3 years after the specific corridor upgrades are done.

Why is it going to take 8 to 10 years to complete? RER is suppose to be done by 2026 and even in Toronto it' doesn't take a decade to put up 250km of wires. That could be done in 2 to 3 years tops.

Not helped by the fact that SWO has absolutely no representation at the Cabinet.

Those look like really nice trains and would be great for commuter service but not RER.
