Until proven wrong I like to go back to the project and service level schematic shared at the prior two board meetings. https://assets.metrolinx.com/image/upload/v1770670803/Documents/corporate/Item_10.1_-_CPG_GO_UP_Update_-_FINAL_ENG_Mx.pdf The timelines are tight given MX speed, but if...

I'm sure it's not an engineering or construction problem because these are solved relatively easily (e.g., money, time, effort). The fall 2024 GO Expansion update to the City of Toronto suggested construction would occur during summer 2026. No forecasted completion date in that stale report to...

A subset of contractors were still at west highland creek seven hours later today at 3:30pm. Pylons were setup between the riverbank and retaining wall installed last year (under the CPKC rail bridge). Perhaps a potential indicator of resuming construction in the area is the addition of a...

For the last few weeks there have been several contractors/flaggers at various level crossings and parking lots adjacent to stations on the ST line each morning, but no noticeable work or additional contractors in the area. There haven’t been any signal issues posted on GoTransit.com that would...

https://www.gotransit.com/en/the-future-and-go/construction-notices Major weekend closures are not slowing down except for the lull during the World Cup in June. New September and October dates have been trickling in with at least one line closed for construction almost every weekend for two...

The bridge crossing the DVP was sandblasted this weekend during the highway closure.

An email from Rob Cerjanec (MPP) confirms the Birchmount Bridge rebuild will no longer take a track out of service. I believe this was mentioned previously in the thread, but it’s another confirmation. His full email: Dear Neighbour, Over the past few months, I’ve met with Metrolinx twice...

There are seven upcoming weekend closures on the Barrie line between now and the recently added September closures. That’s more than other lines see in a year, so I’m hopeful some low hanging fruit can be marked complete.

In the LSE corridor, front end loaders were building a giant pile of ballast west of Danforth GO to eventually be used on the third and fourth tracks. It looked quite fun to be driving the loader up the mound. This is a tangent, but I do not like the amount of “construction waste” laying in...

I believe you're doing this correctly. I don't think you're supposed to tap on/off at Union for a train only trip, even if switching GO trains at Union. Once at the beginning of your trip (e.g., Mimico GO) and again at the end of your trip (e.g., Bloor GO). This is how I've always done it.

Do you know how the recent California regulations on selling used trains impacts Metrolinx? Is Metrolinx buying their former locomotives for parts or were they able to purchase them intact?

The schematic shown with projects on each corridor has been the same version shown in the Dec 2025 and Feb 2026 Board Meetings, so Innisfil station has been communicated in this medium for ~6 months. I'm not aware of any particulars on the project itself, but I've been keeping versions of this...

I'm assuming the lead time for receiving flagging services is due to a shortage of labour? "Complicating matters further, the lead time required for Metrolinx flagging services is soon to grow from nine weeks to 22 weeks. Staff cautioned that this extended notice period could affect not only...
