I mean for extra GO train service?

While we can’t rule out seeing one, we are now getting quite close to the WC so they are unlikely to have a major impact. It may simply have been that Metrolinx didn’t need them immediately but if they didn’t bid, it might be unlikely that they could snap up similar locos later. Between MP40 rebuild work and ETCS, there will be plenty of reasons why spare power could be useful in the next few years, even if only used for peak service

What happened to 214 and does anyone know that the plan is for that series of refurbished cab cars now? Feels like they’ve been sitting at willowbrook forever now

Don't be a hater! Embrace the foamer within.

GO doesn't need fully electric trains. We're just going to replicate Metra but with better stations/ frequencies. 👍😆👍

Was able to catch 5008 and 5048 for the first time on two days in a row. I find the stair odd and riders seem to take then a lot slower that the old ones.

The upper levels of the double deckers have the same exact seating config. As do, for that matter, just about every type of coach bus in existence.

They do ... which is why when I've got a lot of crap with me, I sit downstairs.

Coach buses have terrible seating in general - and are absurdly high. It might make sense on inter-city routes with few stops, and people needing to put luggage underneath.

Even on double Deckers they should use the luggage bays or just order the transit versions like Ottawa with more seats.
