Guelph Central Station. Would be nice to use that new platform, any day now.....

So it’s a cold rainy Saturday morning here in Guelph. I’ve just boarded the 33 bus to meet the train in Mount Pleasant. It’s busy, the bus is half full and it’s 8am. Weekend train service for the whole Kitchener Line is long overdue. Funny enough, lots of other riders are complaining about...

Where's Geoff Marshall and Miles in Transit when we need them! Agreed, having a long form video of the line is nice. Plus I know some non rail fans who like videos as background noise.

Well then offer discounted tickets for passengers willing to shovel coal into the steam engine! What an authentic rustic train experience.

Whoever operates the Oshawa - Lindsay - Haliburton bus service should take a page out of GOST and don't even bother with going anywhere near Toronto. Too much traffic and not enough turn around. GOST is smart because they start/end at Guelph Central Station and avoid all of the GTA traffic...

Announcements like this make me wish beach towns on Lake Erie such as Port Dover still had rail service. I know Port Stanley does but it's not connected to the greater network. With the desire for more car free weekends escapes having train service would have been really convenient for Eclipse...

One the Canadian and other remote western trains I don't see anything other than those caches from the 1950's. They're just too iconic.

Those track moving robots are sooooo cute! I want a mini one

Hahaha probably just assumed that Montreal is an extension of Ontario. I bet the MTQ is watching the 401/A20 border frequently. That is too bad. I still think the service should terminate at Oshawa Station. There’s no need to go to downtown Toronto. Where is this new operator going to?

Same here. I understand the noise issue but it's so cool to feel like you're stepping back in time to see all these backyards as you're rolling through.

It's really disappointing that the 2nd track through Guelph is nowhere close to being done. The platform as you said is up and ready to go with no track tie in. I was hoping for a weekend service to Kitchener to start by September. But I feel that goal slipping away.

Speaking of Guelph Sub. I walked along the subdivision west of Guelph Central Station today. The 2nd track is in only over the bridges spanning Wilson & Norfolk. Would be nice to see the 2nd track go in soon. You can also see the end of the new south platform. Moving from East to West ending at...

They’re going to shift the platform westward as other posters have mentioned. Which is great news as platforms will go past Wyndham Street. Enabling the underpass and staircases to actually be used. Since completion 10 years ago those stairs have remained closed. You can see the stairs on the...

Guelph Central Station Looks like the platform is all but complete. In the first photo the track for the 2nd platform is tied into the mainline

Great news! Hopefully this gets built quickly

As a sometimes user of the Kitchener Line during peak bike commuter time his expression doesn't surprise me at all lol He's like "I can add more bikes at Bloor" I bet Metrolinx was completely caught off guard after the introduction of weekend service back in April 2023. One thing I'm glad about...

Amazing. Can't wait to enjoy the sun over the rail deck when they complete the other half

Thanks to all those taking pictures! It's been a while since I've visited Yonge & Bloor so your contributions are a bit of a shock seeing the progress.

That's a lot of press conferences!
