    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Having one return trip train with 12 coaches on Sunday evening would solve so many problems. I do not see how any stakeholder of the rails can argue against the capacity for one train late Sunday, leaving the whole rest of the weekend for other projects on the line and CN freight (which...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    During the school season it really is a weekly occurrence. The 30/30A on a Sunday evening is absolutely miserable for travelers, with the level of service needed absolutely not nearly matching demand. It has been discussed on the Construction thread that actual Kitchener Line works have really...

    Orangeville-Brampton Railway (OBRY)

    Whoops, meant to say that the city made a new section for the rail trail in its parks and recreation section on its website.

    Has anyone mentioned that The City of Brampton has made a recreation park section for the Orangeville Brampton Rail Trail? https://www.brampton.ca/EN/residents/parks/Pages/Brampton-Orangeville-Rail-Trail.aspx

    I'm a Kitchener rider and I love fantasizing about things that would never happen. Here's a useless talking point that I thought would be fun, what frequencies and levels of service would MX go for if it owned and had control of more parts of its network? How would MX improve things, tracks...

    OP is referring to the Provincial government's promise made in February? (earlier this year) about the Milton Line's upgrades that will allow for 2WAD GO service at 15? minute frequencies? This promise included over $6 billion, with half of the funding needing to come from the federal...

    If the Leaside Spur trail was reactivated for full rail service (no chance the community is okay with that), get track rights from CP's Toronto sub, or get permission to build parallel trackage (extreme pipe dream) and then use CP's old bridge and right of way over the Don to get to the Bala sub...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Yeah, my logic is that though the track would most definitely need to be relayed, with other upgrades such as grade crossing protections needed, as long as there was rail infrastructure in place, even unusable rail, MX would be more inclined to one day bring trains up to Uxbridge, and would...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    I feel like this is a mistake, MX should keep the corridor ready with a provision for a potential Uxbridge extension. Maybe that is just wishful thinking and me not wanting to see any rail removed, and it isn't even viable.

    A look at the rails on Queen St in Brampton. What's this work that is going on at the site opposite of Queen St where the rails and I believe old CP freight sidings/yard were?

    Metrolinx being behind schedule, never heard of that before lol. And the amount of speculation that needs to be done is just not right. Me personally, I have another four years at the very least of KI/30 riding to do. Any shot I can count on the train for the weekends by 2028? And yes, Guelph's...

    Looking at this image, I see a lot of phase work that sort of adds track all the way to Silver Junction. Is it fair to say that this track would be in the hands of Metrolinx to run as many trains as they like? I say this as I see green, pink and blue track nearly all the way to Silver. It's...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Hey guys, making my first post here to learn more about Kitchener Line upgrades. It's been somewhat hard to get updates about 2WAD and weekend service on the line all the way to Kitchener, and since Metrolinx doesn't seem to want to share information (which I think is ridiculous), I just don't...
