^^ But it will be a loss to Londoners and it's commuters. Certainly not because this useless service is gone because if it wasn't for the media no one in London would even notice. The problem is that it could give QP an excuse not to provide Londoners with a truly useful and effective commuter...

The really sad thing about this whole London GO fiasco, is that it gives QP the excuse not to provide a real GO service to the City because Londoners won't use it. This is 100% the result of creating a GO system on the assumption that London itself has no commuters and people in London only...

^^ How dare you! Didn't you know that London has absolutely no services at all? Hell, Londoners should consider themselves lucky just to find a loaf of bread without having to make their way to the glorious GTA. Londoners will NEVER embrace this service because it a shockingly poor {and nearly...

There are 435,000 in the city alone and 560,000 in the metro area and London is one of the fastest growing cities in the country. You are quite correct that some will always bitch and that "those who see value of something will start to use it"...................with just 30 riders a day...

I have read many of the comments in the London FP and Londoners see the situation as quite differently. Many don't have the idea that the service has to begin somewhere even if lousy but rather quite the opposite. They see this as nothing more than an insulting joke. They do not view it as the...

That is not at all the case. For it's size, London actually has quite a decent transit system and gets higher ridership than more populace Hamilton transit. Also, Londoners have no problem taking the train as clearly exemplified by the fact that it is the 4th busiest VIA station in the country...

It shouldn't be an either-or conversations as both single level and double decker have the strengths and weaknesses. They should maintain the double decker for the longer distance and limited stops. The trains coming in from those areas are still primarily going to be commuter trains but simply...

It's only taken 8 years to close the bidding.................that was quick. Now that they know the 2 finalist, what do we know about their proposals in terms of electrification {battery/catenary or combo}, and the trains {EMU/electric locomotive/single or two level}? All those specifications...

Nobody knows what ST is least of all Metrolinx & the City. Seriously, how would ML know what ST is when it has yet to begin construction while GO RER started construction 8 years ago and they still don't know what the system will look like.

^^^ I guess that it's not much of an issue because NOBODY in London is going to be taking this train. I cannot, for the life of me, understand why anyone would. It offers absolutely no benefit to anyone.

That really is ridiculous. 20 years to upgrade a station that probably took less than 3 years to build? I shutter to ask but...............what is the budget for this entire project or has it gone so far over budget already that they are no longer counting?

Without reading 20 pages of posts........................I'm curious, does Union Revitalization actually have a completion date or has this become, more or less, an endless make -work project?

Hopefully they provide far superior seating on the London route. 4 hours is a long time for a train trip but due to GO's commuter level seating, it becomes a very painful one.

The reason I brought up CN/CP is that they will be going hydrogen and that has DIRECT implications for VIA. Contrary to popular belief, VIA is a NATIONAL rail company and not just a Corridor one. As much as I think {and have often stated} VIA should NOT be a national carrier and only a...

Where does ST terminate on the Western portion?

How about fare integration on the December Board? Let's be serious here, electrification is better for the environment, quieter, has cheaper operational costs, and faster de/acceleration with obviously EMUs being decidedly more so than electric locomotives but for the average Torontonian none...

The longer ML puts off making a decision in terms of tenders, the shorter amount of time they have to build the necessary electric infrastructure. By the time the tender is announced and construction begins, it will be well into 2023 leaving them only 3 short years to electrify 250km of track...

Whether you think VIA should build catenary or not is a debate worth having. That said, in terms of freight, CP & CP are going hydrogen, That is no longer a question not only because it makes sense but also because of one key point..............there aren't any alternatives. Catenary for tens of...

My point was that as hydrogen infrastructure develops as do suppliers, the chances of hydrogen for non-Corridor routes in a given as the distances for battery are far too large and for freight battery is useless except for shunting. US is also already working on hydrogen freight. If the HFR was...

I've never understood why Barrie is to be completely electrified while LSW and Kitchener aren't going to be.
