    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    The CSA can’t do it either, because they need to deploy the ramp at the raised platform for people to get on/off. In the past they had a second CSA staged at Guelph to literally board trains and operate the doors from the 10th coach, then get off and wait for the next train to do it again...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    There is space for a third track, but as I mentioned before the possibility of it being used (anytime soon at least) is low

    I wouldn’t put your money on Barrie Line express trains, but if they did happen then what you described is exactly what would end up happening

    There is space intentionally left for a third track, like at Rutherford and Downsview, but it’s highly unlikely to be used

    I don’t understand the horn stuff, it’s literally just something to get people’s attention and it’s not supposed to sound pretty

    For the CEMs, how often was GO using the flat cab cars mid train before the cab cars were refit with an additional door earlier this year that allowed the consist splits? I don’t think it happened before this year, and wasn’t a problem to GO, so railfans not liking the CEMs for that reason is...

    Toronto Toronto | Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    That was what I was thinking it might be back when I made those diagrams, after seeing some stuff I don’t think we’ll be seeing triple-berthing at Union, so likely no C platforms. Nothing is confirmed to us yet but I believe the platforms split down the middle and will have E and W to signify...

    Toronto Toronto | Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    Younger cousin haha, I wouldn’t go off either of these maps anymore, I know the design of the platforms has rapidly changed since both of those were made. Besides that, I also improved the one I made last year, here’s the newer version (the platform numbers we’re just my imagination, not...

    The B end? Like an entire half of the coach dedicated to luggage storage?? That’s too much storage space lol. Removing 50% of the bike racks from the bike coaches is also not a great idea, there’s not enough demand for luggage storage on trains with bike coaches, not to mention luggage can fit...

    I’m sure GO knows how to operate this equipment better than us, they’ve been doing it for almost 50 years

    VIA Rail

    But the big VIA Rail logo that spans 2 coaches doesn’t? posting this a second time because you clearly missed it the first time

    That’s not just a decal, half of the A in the VIA logo is on the side of that coach

    Transit Fantasy Maps

    Here’s a map on the GO Transit Lakeshore Line initial proposal in the early 1960’s: Also did a version of the map that shows what the line ended up looking like upon opening:

    The CN Tower is right there, that’ll give a pretty cool view

    If so then why is it a safety concern to run odd-number consists? I just can’t see it being a safety problem at all

    Yeah there’s no problem with both of them existing at the same time:
