Are the HEP systems compatible? Since they cannot be MU'ed the F40 would need to tow the Siemens set. At least there won't be any shunt issues. Also not all of the 6400's are able to go backwards at full speed. Is it not possible to add a HEP generator in the locomotive? I understand this is...

It's geard to who ever will use it.

May 24 is when cottages open so that's likely when they would want the service to start.

The current corridor will be retained by VIA. At least that was my understanding.

GO is funded by tax payer dollars. When you run your own private coach business you can put whatever fancy screens you want.

They didn't remove the oil stains before applying the paint. It may have been too cold also

They should eliminate street parking at all times and make a BRT lane.

I don't foresee any more LRT's being built. It takes too long and the benefits dont outweigh BRT. Until you can show me one that really works I won't believe it .

If it does the job who cares.

Would they ever build a bus tunnel underneath Richmond hill? That stretch is the most painful.

Don't count on it.

I'm sure that the air rights are worth a ton. I think it you carve out the embankments and make them straight you could create more space to move both tracks. Then you could dig down and stabilize the ballast or drive pillars into the ground.

Yup. They don't even have the operating capital to run the system as is, you think they have capital to fix huge issues like this? Leslie stations ceiling has been leaking for ten years. They didn't even bother to finish fixing it. Queens park has been under construction for over two years and...

Yeah, none of that is going to happen so that section will always have slow orders no matter how many times they fix the track.

I was only referring to the 401 specifically. My point was that building additional lanes to handle single occupant vehicles doesn't make sense. And we haven't explored any options to reduce gridlock like carpool lanes or tolls.

I stand corrected, Davisville was built on a ravine that was filled in to build the subway. Greenwood was a garbage dump.

Interesting. I would have thought that making companies compete with each other would provide better service

They can use a different crew or a yard crew to do the switching move. This provides enough time to do the 14 hour run without running out of time.

If they got a flat wheel or bad bearing what would they do if they can't access TMC that night?
