    Lindsay could be serviced by GO transit by extending the Peterborough route. Did CanAr not bring that route back?

    VIA Rail

    Have you seen the recent investment into Amtrak? There is no political reason for the conservatives to eliminate VIA rail. Also considering that their voter base is in non urban areas, good luck getting elected in the next election if you eliminate the rural Quebec trains or Churchill. There...

    Honestly, elimination of the national passenger rail system would make us a disgrace among G7 countries. I doubt that the conservatives would want to be in that position. Every other country in the world is spending money on passenger rail, to eliminate it would make us a laughing stock. And...

    That's the equivalent to winning the lottery. Go buy a ticket.

    So how late were you in the end?

    VIA Rail

    So probably if the VIA train was on time it would not have to wait for the GO train. But I mean the GO train probably carries per people and Metrolinx owns the network so what do you expect? Also past rouge Hill there are three tracks so you should be able to pass the GO train. Also thats only...

    Possibly having two locomotives per train would have avoided this situation (like broghtline). But with any new rolling stock there will be teathing issues and kinks to work out.

    How about extending it to Gormley GO station

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    What they are asking for is not unreasonable. It would be in the best interest of everyone to come to an agreement.

    Maybe a partnership with a local taxi company for a flat rate within city limits to the train station?

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Will there really be a strike or is this all fear mongering?

    VIA Rail

    There should be enough capacity for all trains now that the third track is in place at Danforth and should allow the VIA train to overtake the GO train there. Until you get to Guildwood where they need to share a platform and the lack of a third track at Rouge Hill is a problem. Was there not a...

    Ontario Northland/Northern Ontario Transportation

    The local transit piece will need to be re-evaluated by municipalities since the train is leaving arriving in North Bay around Midnight. As well as along the way. At least you can get to Huntsville at like 3am...and do nothing until you can check in at your cottage 12 hours later. But it will...

    Are any P42's sidelined due to major repairs? Or are they all still active?

    Again the Ren sets in the corridor that were retired have been replaced with Venture sets. So I think that's at least two train sets.

    VIA Rail

    Yup. Hopefully once the dust settles everything will be back to normal.

    There were some equipment moves recently due to the retirement of the Ten sets in the corridor. I'm sure the kinks will work itself out.

    VIA Rail

    Alstom doesn't have any FRA compliant rolling stock for long distance travel? Depending on who wins the VIA/Amtrak long distance fleet bid there may be some potential there for orders to be tacked on for regional carriers. I wonder if Siemens has the capability to bid on that contact and have...
