My point was that the increase in maximum operating characteristics was less due to superior performance characteristics of the new trainsets, but to an update in the regulations governing maximum operating speeds. Operators, industry and politicians may induce pressure on the regulator to modify the regulations, but ultimately, the regulator defines what speeds are possible when which set of specific prerequisites is followed…

Yes I believe this even happened here with the LRC trainsets. They were given a special exception to travel at faster speeds. But ofc Transport Canada had to approve this.
You‘ll be relieved to learn then that VIA is no longer involved at all in HFR (and hasn’t for the last two or so years)…
Who cares about a bike rack... when are the rest of the sets coming and when will the be used in the rest of the corridor routes
Once all the remaining 28(?) trainsets are delivered, I‘d assume…
Can anyone decode that for us regular folks and say if we can expect the new trainsets to be making regular appearances in Toronto yet?
Even with the rumored deployment, every single revenue trip will still either originate, terminate or pass through Montreal, while never venturing further away from Montreal as Ottawa or Quebec City. Once the performance has stabilized, the next step would presumably be to have trains visiting Toronto during the day (M-T-M, M-O-T-M or M-T-O-M) and later also overnight. Once the Siemens facility opens at TMC, Ventures should become a much more common sight in the Golden Horseshoe…

How does it make sense that they started construction on TMC after the new fleet was being delivered?
Why would they build two facilities in parallel if the same people building one can build the other one once they are finished with the first? Also, any peoblems identified while building the first facility can be rectified before building the second facility…
