When I saw them they were idling so there must only be wayside power for GO.

Davisville was built on an old landfill. The ground is sinking there. To remedy it they need to dig down to the bedrock to stop the track from moving. It would require the line to be closed for an extended period of time. What they should do extend the yard stub track by tearing down the...

A smart thing to do would have been to lease the corridor to different operators like they do in the UK and give them slots. This way companies would compete to provide the best service.

Fine. So we now have more lanes than any other highway in North America and we ran out of space. So adding more lanes isn't going to solve anything.

We should have incrementally built transit to encourage people to use mass transit instead of building additional lanes. But for twenty years we did nothing, and now it costs us more and takes longer to do it. The 401 was never 2 lanes.

12 lanes of bumper to bumper traffic is not enough of a sign for you? Then how many lanes will satisfy you? 16? 20? The whole point is that this building lanes got us to this point in the first place.

That's assuming that trains travel at that speed. I have noticed them going slower than that.

But induced demand means if you build it people will use it and it will become chocked. And then you have to build more lanes. And during rush our it's worse than 40kmph.

Do any of you know about Induced demand? No matter how many lanes of highway you build, it will never be enough. Induced demand is the economic and urban planning principle where increasing the supply of a good or service (like adding highway lanes) leads to a rise in its consumption, often...

Sorry between Bloor and Davisville was better northbound only.

Northbound yesterday was a bit better. Not full speed but not 30kmph. Southbound was bad.

It only needs to be a mixed consist from Cochrane right? Can't the Northlander trainset go from Timmins to Cochrane?

I believe it was a P42 with LRC consist.

Another VIA consist crapped out near st Mary's. They were able to get customers to London so they could be bussed to Toronto.

Having operators manually drive them wasn't an option? It worked for 40 years...

The funny thing about some of these projects is that say stage 1 takes three months, there will be a four month gap until stage 2 starts. And then stage 2 will start and no work will be completed for a month in-between. Perhaps they have to get another trade to come in? And the timing doesn't...

If they really cares they would have implemented it on day 1.

I feel like we have gone backwards. We use to have more snow and no automatic train control with less advanced trains and we didn't have any problems. Does this slow order apply to the open cut section between Caledonia and Sheppard West as well?

Then why do they travel slowly between ST Clair and Summerhill? Is it because the trains ahead are holding up traffic ?

So basically the whole line on line 1 is a slow zone from Wellesley to Eglinton. How is this allowed?
