Whining had nothing to do with the reversal of this decision. It's clear Michael Ford who is related to the Premier, managed to pull the nepotism card.

It's unbecoming and causes people to lose respect for you. But it sounds like you're willing to pay that price.

If the trains were allow to travel through the stations at their optimal speed and not have to decelerate/ accelerate, then the time savings would be greater than 2 minutes.

With the Gardiner going to be in a state of construction for the next 3 years. Is there a possibility that we'll see a boost in ridership on the LSW? I ask because with developer Vandyk pretty much going bankrupt, and the Mimico Grand Central project all but dead. I wonder if it would be in...

You never said anything about "time". You were talking about fare integration and not having travelers backtrack to Union. Kipling station and the 900 Airport Express solves both those issues. There's no doubt it's a longer trip, but it's more affordable. What if Mississauga ran an express bus...

Or instead of getting off at Dundas West, riders take the Bloor line all the way to Kipling and transfer on to the TTC airport express bus. Get your fare integration and all. UPX is not part of the fare integration.

I live close to Oakville GO. Where's MY express train to Pearson airport??? I thought we were trying to build a regional network you guys?! Seeesh!

We do have a transit network. It's called the GO train. Which serves both Bloor and Weston. Improve the Kitchener line so riders at these stations aren't so reliant on the UPX, and the UPX can focus on doing what it was designed to do. Moving people quickly and efficiently between Union and Pearson.

You don't see the irony in this statement, do you? "The conversation has never been had, so it's not worth pursuing." uhm... so let's have the conversation? I could understand your argument if we were talking about physical limitations regarding infrastructure. But you're basically telling me...

Of course it matters. How does it not matter? You're argument is that ML can't be made to change their minds. Silly argument. I'm sure we can get the Minister of transportation to send a sternly worded email to Vester, telling him to speed up the trains through the stations or find another job.

Makes me wonder how MX would make express trains work if we achieved "at level" boarding across the entire network. I'm sure there are plenty of other networks around the globe that have "at level" boarding and don't have their trains slow down through stations due to fear of trains making...

Yes, but is the time saving of only 2 minutes due to the fact that the UPX trains have to slow down through stations with high platforms? If the UPX could travel at a consistent top speed from Union to Pearson, would we still be talking about a time saving of only 2 minutes?

Can MX utilize a fourth track on the Toronto portion of the Kitchener line if they still haven't got a third track running through Brampton? Isn't Bramalea just going to be jammed full of GO trains?

Are you referring to the elevated portion that allows for level boarding with the UP Express? Does any train passing through Weston have to slow down because of these elevated portions?

This article & video is from 2016. Did ML figure out a work around for this issue? https://globalnews.ca/news/2485850/union-station-renovation-poses-problems-for-new-electric-trains/

The western extension? Or the entire Eglinton Crosstown?

Or instead of adding another stop on the UP Express, you could just ride the Eglinton Crosstown all the way to Renforth, once the Western extension is complete, and take an express Airport bus from there.

Toronto urbanists are repulsed at the sight of express trains flying past train stations. "The train must stop at every station!"

Wouldn't MX also have to order more locomotives to accommodate all these extra, shorter trains?

Yeah, I actually work on weekends. I work Wednesday-Sunday with Mon/Tuesdays off. So on Wednesday-Fridays I would need to catch the 41 GO bus, and on weekends the 47 GO bus. The 56 doesn't seem to work for me. The scheduling of the bus doesn't line up with my shift ending at 8:00pm. The 56...
