I really, really like this!!! Start out simple with common, tested (VIA) rolling stock, and if the train proves to be a success, as I hope it will, they can add an (Amtrak-style) cafe car, and maybe even adapt a coach with sleeper cabins/baggage capacity. Absolute worst case scenario, they can...

This was a good post by dkazzed in the Edmonton forum. Thought I’d share it here for those who don’t stray that way too often. Source Good to see how popular these things are! We really ought to do something like this here.

It’s interesting that they decided to modify the livery again. The grey stripe along the windshield is different from the mockup. Source I wonder if the previously delivered cars will receive these grey stripes.

Thank you for the renders ProjectEnd, I absolutely love the station extending over Sheppard. I’ve been awaiting this relocation for the 17 years I’ve lived in the area. I’m just worried about whether this is actually happening? The most recent update dated November 21 indicates that Metrolinx...

Surely it should be obvious that delaying the opening of the line even further and properly replacing the affected piers is the best solution, instead of paying millions in lawsuits when one of them gives way with a train above it and people die. Seriously, TransEd should be held criminally...

Stockholm copied Berlin.

Considering the riding (I live in) that the extension would hit voted for him, I definitely expect him to announce an elevated extension to at least Sheppard/Don Mills, to reward his voters. Anything less would be an insult.

I absolutely love it when Toronto copies other cities well. These new train renders really give me Stockholm vibes… (Siemens) C30 exterior: Source Modernized (Bombardier) C20 interior: Source … especially with Metrolinx’s use of the ”T in a circle” logo, that Stockholm also uses for their...

Good to see these. Hopefully this will avoid the pathetic situation Ottawa’s LRT faces - requiring ”whistleblowers”, because of the unreliability of the wireless platform camera connection to the cab monitors. They should just install platform monitors like these there. Also, has it been...

Despite Metrolinx just ”copy and pasting” Ottawa’s LRVs, I like the fact these new Citadis cars have the third headlight above the cab (tunnel light?), which the Flexities were supposed to get in the original renders. I just wish they’d swap out the two orange marker lights for blue ones, to...

Just one comment after visiting the Islands recently, the ferry terminal really should have Presto readers or gates, regardless of what Metrolinx (Accenture?) charges. It would be a much appreciated (and awaited) convenience.

I mentioned this in 2018…

If anything, they can have both the 51A and 151. What I’m opposed to is having a discontinuous route on Leslie between Eglinton (Avenue) and Steeles. Why punish riders (like me) north of Sheppard.

Somebody should make a meme of Torontonians trying to enter/exit an LRV train in Calgary, without pushing the button.

Please, please TTC, don't screw up the Leslie bus!!! As someone who has lived/relied on the affected section north of Sheppard for over 15 years, this 151 proposal sounds utterly asanine. I was really looking forward to Leslie becoming a proper trunk route (from Danforth to Steeles) with the...

Ps. The employees at that McD’s used to stand at the top of the former escalator. Correction: According to Steve Munro’s article from 2007, City drawings state the tunnel ended across from where the LCBO was, not the McD’s.

Sorry, off topic, but that Paton Road pedestrian underpass really got me thinking about this - the now gone Union Station underpass under the Moat from the subway station to the Bay Concourse (about where McD’s was). Source: http://www.infiltration.org/utility-union.html (RIP. Ninjalicious)

I asked a similar question in the GO Transit thread, I’ll ask it here too regarding the T1 fleet. With the AODA deadline coming up in 2025(?), are there currently plans to install next stop displays in this fleet? It seems like the TTC has really been dragging their heels here.

Honest question, how slowly is the next stop display installation program progressing on GO trains? They apparently started in 2016 with the accessible coaches, but there really hasn’t been much mentioned since. Admittedly, it’s been years since I’ve been on a GO train, that’s why I’m genuinely...

Part of me really wishes DB will insist on branding the frequent services as GO REX (Regional EXpress rail). It would provide the same kind assurance you would expect from seeing a green S-Bahn circle in Germany, in knowing that you won’t have to wait more than 15/20/30 minutes for a train. With...
