This was managed with an almost gentlemen's agreement that offset the Darlington and Bruce refurbishments, so that they wouldn't be poaching each others' talent.

They also have a very large footprint down at 10 and 20 Bay.

A loooong time ago, they used to check everyone's tickets/PRESTO card.

I only meant they'll already have to invest in a fly-over or fly under from Kipling to get to the yard regardless if the line passes beyond Obico, and if GO ends up double tracking the Milton line as they've suggested, I'm not sure if there's corridor width for two TTC tracks to extend past the...

Or whether the justification leans on the fact that running tracks through a new Obico TTC yard gets you 1/3 of the way there...maybe we end up with an above-grade subway along North Queen that only goes underground to get under the QEW/427 interchange and into Sherway.

MSF will be many kilometers north, accessible from a siding that runs along the GO corridor.

The user pay model would be ideal, if you can make it a wash for rail lines in terms of money....balance the revenue they generate by buying their corridors (current dollars), their avoided future maintenance and capital investment costs (future dollars), with payments (future dollars) and have...

It was explained to me by someone that the 'piers' model is being moved away from globally, as the traffic implications of planes getting going in and out of 'dead ends' is not preferred from an aircraft movements and ground logistics perspective...meaning bridged islands that offer full...

There is (or was) also an option of an island expansion, a-la new La Guardia.

The majority of lands for the London 2012 Olympic park were freed up pylon corridors, replaced by I think it was 3-5 tunnels like this.

Bruce has been in the Deputy CEO role for coming up on a year already, so that makes the most sense short-term.

Josh then?

If I remember and understand it correctly, the TBM was supposed to go ~5m below the Schulich building at York U for the TYSSE. They had spent a tonne of money on a jet-grout matrix injection under the foundations to provide extra support, but it never ended up working. When it finally came time...

So someday do we get Queensway streetcar to Sherway, and a higher-order (BRT or 'steertcar') connection from Renforth Gateway to Sherway?

After re-acquainting myself with the FBC, I was surprised to see that it specifically referenced "4-car UPxpress and GO trains" (current UPX are 3 cars, sometimes 2). Makes me think we'll get new matching rolling stock for UPX (albeit different livery I would think). It also shows the hourly...

Agreed, Weston is only necessary if you think that's the end of the line. Its more logical to run it to Mount Dennis, and terminate there. I'd likely still update the platform though for the 'if needed' flexibility of using the track.

The additional platform that's been added at Weston is about 3/4 width (same at Mount Dennis), but with the CPKR-facing side fenced off. There is lots of width to bring a track in there to service a Bolton line, and each would just need some minor platform and roof widening to accommodate.

Well, I guess this is all moot now. :)

As a three-days-a-week downtown commuter from Weston, yes this sucks a bit, but it is not the end of the world. On the local trains going downtown, I imagine the platforms will be very full for the morning rush, and we might hit standing room only, so there will be no room for Bloor passengers...

Are we at the point soon where Metrolinx decides to shift the Richmond Hill service onto its spur that crosses over the Brickworks? We know the existing route through the valley is both slow and has a high climate risk from flooding. Doing so would be expensive needing likely at least the...
