Hey now the Tokyo comparison is kinda cheating since they also number their stations so you don't even need to know its name or what it means.

This is speculation on my part but could the Warden Siding Project be something like this? The lines aren't perfect but it seems you can cram a couple of tracks into the space south of Warden Station were the current siding is. This would yard would be purely for overnight storage and have no...

This has been discussed multiple times in the past in this thread but based on the current route's the buses will likely terminate like this: SCARBOROUGH CENTRE: 9 Bellamy 16 McCowan (Potentially just a street-side stop if they run it through to Sheppard West) 38 Highland Creek 43B Kennedy 133...

I finished recording the audio for my next video; this one about Hollinger Bus Lines which operated bus service in East York from 1921 - 1954. I made a map of the services they ran as of 1952. Here's a geographic map if you need help visualizing this:

I do enjoy a good open-cut station. All that natural light really makes a difference.

Do we even know what the "bedding in" period even is? What are they looking/testing for exactly? is it just an extended RSD or is there something more specific?

A couple of months ago I made a video talking about Danforth Bus Lines Ltd (and its subsidiary North York Bus Lines) which operated bus service in Scarborough and North York prior to 1954. I decided to make some maps for those older bus services.

I remade my fantasy proposal for the streetcar network. and here is the map from the end of the video: As an addendum, after making this video I wondered it maintaining the 504B would even be necessary in this scenario. King Street would be served by the 504A between Roncesvalles and...

The Berlin S-Bahn is owned and operated by S-Bahn Berlin GmbH which is a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn. It's why you see the DB logo on S-Bahn trains. It used to be owned by BVG (the ones who operate Berlins transit) but it was handed over to DB in 1994. DB also has other S-Bahn subsidiary's under...

On the topic of this and relevant to Eglinton Avenue, this was supposed to be the intention with the original Eglinton West Subway. As part of Network 2011 Eglinton was supposed to have bus lanes installed to build ridership on the route. The actually subway itself wasn't supposed to start...

The city's boundary there runs down the middle of Eglinton Avenue. Everything on the southside is in Toronto, everything on the north side is in Misssissauga. You can see here on its City Council Ward Profile (its Etobicoke...

Here's a random fact that dawned on me. When the EC opens it will be the first time the TTC has operated Light-Rail Multiple Units in revenue service since 1977. The TTC used to operate MU's on the streetcar network back in the day on various tripper routes as well as the YONGE, BLOOR, and QUEEN...

I do think an important part to mention though is that during the Metro era even though the Subway was expanded beyond the City of Toronto (as well as the TTC becoming responsible for bus service in Metro), the 5 other municipalities contributed to the TTC's annual operating budget. A portion of...

I believe the current plan is for East Harbour Station to be connected to the proposed Broadview Streetcar. If the TTC decides to split the 501 like they did the 504 it honestly should be the eastern terminus of the western branch (let's call it the 501A), instead of the current proposal to...

It's most likely a place holder name like "Queen-Spadina", and "King-Bathurst" on the Ontario Line. If I had to guess the final name for the station it will almost certainly be "Richmond Hill Centre". Honestly they should probably also move Langstaff GO north to the subway stop to create a...

You'd have an easier time making a case for an extension of Line 1 to Wonderland since there people actually live around it and there is a large hospital to boot. By comparison there is nothing around the Zoo, and arguably there is really not much east of Morningside along Sheppard. If we had to...

New video up, this one on the Toronto Suburban Railway which operated a small local streetcar network in the Town of West Toronto as well as interurbans to Weston, Woodbridge, and Guelph.

Thought you guys might enjoy this (I found it while working on my video for the Toronto Suburban Railway). It is a video of what I believe to be the only instance of an electric passenger train in Toronto. It is an "excursion" train running from The Junction (Keele & St.Clair) to Eldorado Park...

Made a new map for my upcoming video on the Toronto Suburban Railway. What helps the TSR stand out is not only the fact it operated multiple interurbans, but also the fact it operated a local streetcar network in the Town of West Toronto. It also had connections with the Toronto and Guelph...

Besides the Lake Shore Lines which routes do we through-run? There is an imbalance between the routes east and west of union so which lines would we pair with the Stouffville and Richmond Hill lines? Also keep in mind ML also has plans to construct the Bolton Line which will add another route to...
