    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    Again, with all due respect. I got Alexander's point. However, I don't think you can avoid a discussion of politics and subsidies in industrial production in this era of rising nationalism. My point is that Boeing has had decades of government support in developing its administration in the...

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    With all due respect, I don't care much for how Boeing manages it's production. They have their foot firmly planted on the scale of competitive aircraft production for the longest time, and are attacking the Canadian aerospace sector in the process by demanding the imposition of tariffs on our...

    The drip, drip. drip of delivery is frustrating, but we are starting to see results. If you look at the whole picture in terms of public transportation in the GTA, the TTC is forging ahead nonetheless with new capabilities. The new subway extension is a case in point, and the building of a...

    According to LilRed Dave, "4448 on its way out of Thunder Bay into the fog as I type. With GO 4023 & 4024 in tow." So theoretically, it might be possible that the 4447 and the 4448 might be on the same ride to Toronto. Maybe not, but wouldn't be cool?Thanks LilRed Dave.
