Those are nice. I hope we don't have to wait until 2030 to see them.

It's my understanding that EMUs will only run to Bramalea/Aurora/Stoufville.It will involve a mix of trains. Peak service will mostly run with the existing BiLevel coaches pulled by electric locomotives, with off-peak/counter-peak mostly run by 4/8/12 car EMUs. Some service will not be electrified and will require use of the existing bilevels with diesel locomotives.
Yes. It will be a EMU system to Aurora/Bramalea/Unionville. Mt Pleasant/Barrie/Mt Joy will still get bi levels, hopefully Milton and Richmond Hill do too.It's my understanding that EMUs will only run to Bramalea/Aurora/Stoufville.
The plan is for peak & longer hauls will still be served by electric-loco or dual-mode driven Bombardier BiLevels.
Not at first. Bramalea/Aurora/Stoufville is supposed to get them first, due to stop spacing.Oshawa and Burlington also will get EMUs I believe and Hamilton (all day service) and bowmanville (express -rush hour) will maintain bi levels.
yep...i get that...but all of those renders show bilevels with diesel locomotives....I just find it funny.
I think that because they haven't 100% secured a contract with a manufacturer for EMU's or gotten 100% approval to even run non-fra EMUs they don't want to put the cart before the horse.
A grade crossing right outside a triple track station. Hmmm.
They could always buy FRA-compliant EMUs. They just don't know the exact model yet, for obvious reasons.Doesn't stop the Ontario government from using graphics of EMUs in their pressers.
Yes, marketing.It's sort of like advertising increased garbage pickup days or something, and showing a graphic of a garbage truck that is not the exact kind the city actually uses. Its not the point of the presser to announce a new garbage truck, the picture is there simply to illustrate the topic at hand.

I have the charmingly innocent hope that we're gonna stop doing stuff like that one day.You mean like at Port Credit Station?
