Go Transit sucks i am glad that Viva replaced the newmarket B on yonge street(I live in Aurora) and notice that go trains ALWAYS have problems with delays and cancelations
how is viva slower than the newmarket B
That plan sounds good to me. Better still, the governments should make a deal providing a substantial re-arrangement of rail lines in Hamilton. The Belt Line that runs from the TH&B and intersects with CN should be improved, and CP given trackage rights from Bayview to a new junction at the Belt Line for its freights, so that they can bypass Downtown Hamilton along the CN and rejoin the TH&B line in the east end. GO would then buy the TH&B line west of the Belt Line junction and improve it as a high-frequency passenger railway. VIA would serve the TH&B station as well, and rejoin the CN line on the improved Belt Line, with the improved lines resulting in only a small increase in travel time from Niagara relative to the existing CN route.
The improvements to the Belt Line would likely be cheaper than double-tracking the Hunter Street tunnel, which would be needed for any major improvement in GO service.
well I guess I can't say City Hall anymore, since it's abandon now and being gutted
Yeah, improvements to that belt line would be a tough sell. Houses' backyards are right up against the line and it bisects the intersection of Main and Gage right through the middle. I guess a new line in the median of the Red Hill Expressway would be an alternative.
I don't see why double-tracking the Hunter Street tunnel would have to be that complicated. It was originally double-track so it's wide enough. The floor would have to be lowered to increase the clearance to allow the double tracks to be reinstated.
