I would assume no since even if ML uses single level EMU's for GO RER the GO Network platforms will be lower than the OL's even after they are raised for level boarding with the current GO fleet. So sure they may be able to use the tunnel but they wouldn't be able to stop anywhere. This also...

I say the 16 goes to Sheppard simply because if it terminates at STC than someone wanting to go beyond Sheppard would have to transfer onto the subway take it one stop (or two if they transfer at Lawrence) and then transfer again onto the 129. So if the 16 doesn't go to Sheppard than I guess the...

If I had to guess what routes would stop where, then going by the bus network as it currently is: SHEPPARD EAST: 16 McCowan 85 Sheppard East/985 Sheppard East Express 129 McCowan North 130 Middlefield 131 Nugget 169 Huntingwood 939 Finch East Express SCARBOROUGH CENTRE: 9 Bellamy 16 McCowan...

It is odd the TTC hasn't put out what the route diversions will be since to me at least it seems like it should be obvious. Have the 501's in the west end turn back at McCaul Loop, and the 501's in the east end loop via Church > Richmond > Victoria. If the entire Queen/Victoria intersection will...

It doesn't need to be an either/or. A stop at both McCowan and Sheppard as well as Markham and Finch would be just fine since they would be around 2km apart which is fine for GO Service, especially as we move towards RER's more "surface subway" style operations.

New video up, this one looking at the history of the Lake Shore Streetcar.

I was at Eglinton GO Station yesterday and got some pictures of what's been going on there.

Yes GO Urban was probably the first major idea that came around during the early days of the Provinces tinkering with Mag-Lev technology. Eventually I believe the GO URBAN Mag-lev tech would be merged with the GO ALRT trains to form the ICTS trains we know today.

To me probably not, it just seems like it would be a gadgetbahn. GO ALRT would have been a far better idea since it would still use conventional rail with the added bonus of the lines it operated on being electrified and having high-level platforms. I think if ALRT had been built it could have...

New video up, this one looking at the Carlton Streetcar.

Thanks for the response. I definitely didn't expect it to be for that, it's an odd piece of infrastructure to me at least but I understand why it was built.

So I have a question that I have wondered for a while now. At Dufferin and Finch there is an abandoned bus loop and I can't figure out what bus would have looped there. I thought it would have something to do with either the Dufferin North or Finch West buses but looking through there histories...

I believe single-bore tunnels also have to be built deeper than dual-bore due to the larger diameter of the tunnel.

No colour allowed. Some orange accents would be nice though...

I would say that by doing this the TTC would need to run a parallel bus service to fill that gaps, but they are already going to do this on the surface section anyways.... for reasons.... It does defeat the purpose of shorter stop spacing, that being to ensure the line can be used for local...

Another little map I made, this one for a High-Speed Rail line from Windsor to Quebec City. I split the line into services Local and Express although this may not be necessary. I also made a little mock up of the trains based on the N700 series Shinkansens.

Well that's a question that has a verity of factors attached to it, such as stop spacing, number of stops, and if express runs are possible. It's why for example the A Train in New York can be 52 km long since no train runs local along the entire length during the day. Only at night when...

In the long run yes. Given the future projected ridership of Line 5 is something like 5k passengers per hour, in no world should it be a subway since that would be an even lower passenger count than Line 4 but around the same as Line 3 I believe. Even Light-Metro is really stretching it as far...

Made a little map of possible lines if Metrolinx owned all the tracks in the GTHA/Golden Horseshoe instead of having to work with CN and CP. I avoided using abandoned and disused lines with an exception being the connection between the Midtown and Richmond Hill lines. I am really bothered by the...

Think you made a typo bud, that 24 should be a 34.
