Calgary is the talk of the town over in skyscrapercity. A person from Calgary is now on the forum and people were truly excited to have a Calgarian rep and are very eager to find out what's going on in your fair metropolis. It would be great if some of you guys came back.

What is the speed limit on Eglinton and will the LRT be bound by it?

I don't blame Montreal for using the Mount Royal tunnel at all and if that hurts VIA's expansion plans then too bad, they can pay for it. VIA/Ottawa have had decades to do something with VIA and never have. How many studies and reports has Ottawa done about HSR between Toronto & Montreal since...

I agree, Barrie needs a university campus but unlike Sarnia/Lambton or Chatham/Kent, people in Barrie have options. There is all day GO service that they can take to get right York or UT or Ryerson {I refuse to call it the stupid name it has now and ditto for Dundas Square} so they have access...

If there ever was a city that needed a university, it's Sarnia. Sarnia/Lambton & Chatham/Kent have a combined population of 250,000 but are a glaring gap in Ontario's university options. The closest universities are Western & Windsor which are an hours drive from Chatham and 1 1/2 from Sarnia to...

That would be great but I wouldn't hold your breath. Western has had a plethora of "plans" for something big in downtown London for decades and yet nothing ever materializes. Western has always been a VERY poor member of the London community and seems to go out of it's way to be as...

Toronto is fortunate enough to have a lot of options for future GO expansion but I think there are 2 , at least over the next 10 years, that should be given priority: 1} the Bolton line. Even if only for rush-hour service and limited service during the day ala RH, it would prove to be well...

ML has a lot to answer for about Eglinton with it's delays and incompetence and heads should roll although they won't. That sai, this glorified streetcar that will be stuck in traffic is NOT the fault of the TTC or ML but rather the fault of the City and the DoT. The City could very easily...

Love these shots, keep them coming!

Whether you agree with Michigan Lefts doesn't really matter. The point is that even without them, the LRTs shouldn't have to stop for any lights along the entire grade portion of the line. If it has to stop even once, that is one time too many and will exemplify how Toronto is more concerned...

London is, after Toronto, the most ideal place in Ontario for a commuter rail service. London is a hub of railway lines and has more than any other city save Toronto and the station is right downtown. One of the lines, the old London-Port Stanley railway is almost unused and goes to downtown...

When you say that the Michigan Lefts were received overwhelmingly negatively by the "public", I can only assume that means a negative reception from drivers. More proof that Toronto put the needs of drivers ahead of the needs of transit riders.

For Ottawa I was specifically thinking of Carleton Place. For Windsor it is definitely the Windsor/Esses/Kingsville/Leamington corridor which has 70,000 people and is already such a heavy commuter route that it is currently being twinned between Leamington & Windsor. For London, it is right...

If ML had employed any planning on the Eglinton Line, which has become abundantly clear it didn't, it would have employed U-turn routes along the median of Eglinton. These are employed in many cities where there are no left hand turn lights at intersections but rather U- turns are made between...

Hydrogen rail is still in it's infancy {which is why I never supported it for GO} but is developing quickly and so far results have been good. Clearly the rail makers see the future and in many ways it's hydrogen. Back in 2016 Alstom was the sole manufacturer of hydrogen passenger trains and...

Everyone knows that Eglinton should have been a completely grade separated line {including ML} but that ship has sailed. That said, it can be just as fast as a grade separated line with the same number of stations but that will depend on City Hall. With today's technology, there is absolutely...

There are over 800,000 people in the greater London Economic Region as defined by StatsCan.........Middlesex, Elgin, and Oxford counties all of which are growing very quickly. There is a solid need for GO commuter bus system and the subsidies that come along with it, including fare integration...

GO should be running intercity commuter services in all of areas of Ontario, it is called Government of ONTARIO. This would mean services in Greater Ottawa, London, and Windsor to start as long as it's not run by a bunch of Toronto-centric bureaucrats who can't get their heads around the fact...

I know it is a trial but I can't, under any situation, it not being very successful even more so if there is fare integration and I think there will be a lot of political pressure aimed at QP for it because if Toronto got it then why shouldn't London? Both cities are amongst the fastest growing...

Who cares, as long as it's a go. It will just be a trial till 2026 with very limited service but I think it will be highly successful with all the new employment down in St.Thomas with Amazon & soon VW and the service will quickly expand. There is already a demand for the many students going...
