    I’m currently working on a map so we can track vacancy rates on the retail level of the station, I’m going to add unit numbers but does anyone have any suggestions for other things I could add?

    I heard that once too, it definitely isn’t going to happen now but I wonder if 14 car trains were studied before, I’m sure someone here knows…

    Series 5 coaches which is fantastic, the absence of a lower level washroom means there’s more capacity for bikes than the current Series 8 bike coaches have

    Toronto Toronto | GO Transit: Davenport Diamond Grade Separation | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Concept art isn’t commitment, it could very well just be a flashy image for ads like the EMU’s we saw above were, and the other countless electric equipment we’ve seen in concept art up to this point.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Service using the CP line was proposed in 2004 with the idea of running trains directly to the casino, and again in 2011 when Metrolinx was looking at expanding the tourist service to Niagara.
