As promised, here is a drone vid of the West Highland Creek Bridge (lack of) progress, taken last weekend.

I have a theory about the Stouffville service cuts. They were not for construction on the Stouffville line. They were for the Ontario Line/LSE Joint Corridor work. Most of the double tracking work on Stouffville was done before the cuts, and since the cuts almost nothing has been done. Meanwhile...

Without a double tracked West Highland Bridge the 2nd platforms at Agincourt and Milliken are useless. The crossovers are south of the bridge and north of Milliken. If this return to rush hour only service isn't to build the 2nd half of that bridge, I'm truly at a loss for understanding the...

The fact that the massive service cuts on Barrie and Stouffville were only announced with 2 weeks notice is shocking. This isn't a few trains here and there or a pandemic lockdown, it's a return to the 2018 days (on Stouffville at least) of rush hour only service. It's a cut of 20 train trips...

Doesn't that tie up valuable platform resources at Union with crews needing to walk the length of the train to drive the train back where it came from?

I'm having trouble seeing how VIA HFR/HSR would fit here. Presumably it's using the Richmond or Stouffville tracks, but there are no dead-end tracks for any of those. A VIA train doing a layover is going to block a through-running track, which will happen reasonably often given the whole "high...

As I mentioned in my reply to smallspy, I doubted our networks ability to do this right now. I figured putting signs at parts of the platform that say something like "Off-peak trains may be shorter and not reach this end of the platform - please walk towards the accessibility area". I...

It never happened. I thought about announcements/displays as reaperexpress suggested, but I guessed that might require a version of electronic train info communication that the network might not have right now. Can you provide any info on whether or not it is feasible to do that with the current...

As much as I liked the benefits of the 6 car consists, acceleration/deceleration/fuel savings, at Agincourt I could see a huge problem with them. Time and time again I saw people miss a train because they had no idea it would stop at the north end of the platform, far away from the station or...

It's unfortunate that some people don't realize that they are far more likely to be injured or killed in a car than on transit. Perceived safety and actual safety are frequently not the same thing.

The parking lot has already been open for a few weeks, but north of the accessibility platform is still not open. This will also have the benefit of opening the remaining platform so that all doors will open at Agincourt. It also means people coming from Agincourt Drive will no longer have to...

Uhhh how does that relate to subsidizing air fare instead of a train?

Is it potentially cheaper to subsidize air fare to Churchill vs subsidizing a train? I'm sure the people of Churchill would rather get there faster.

Overnight yes, but for the trains that terminate at Mount Joy they just become the southbound train after about a 30 min layover.

My bad. A year or 2 ago I was on a Stouffville train that once it reached Union an announcement was made that it was carrying on either as a Barrie Line or Kitchener Line train. If it was Kitchener then it must have been a weekday, otherwise it was the Barrie Line. Maybe they aren't...

Deadheading from where though? As far as I know all the (weekend) northbound Stouffville trains return southbound after a layover, so there isn't spare train sitting around. They would need to run an extra train all the way from the yard at Old Elm, and the only way that would make sense is if...

What's going on with the last weekend southbound train on the Stouffville line in the schedule? I've never seen anything like this. A train seems to magically appear at Unionville for a 22:05 departure, a whole 17 minutes after the previous normally scheduled hourly departure at 21:48. This...

Has this guy not heard of GO Expansion??? At the risk of getting off topic, Milliken is not in Markham Centre and Hollywood North is Vancouver... Regarding the 407 Transitway. Why does a highway that's never busy need a Transitway?

I didn't realize that...
