Let's just hope once GO gets the electric locos they don't just store them for almost 2 years with little usage!
Which is why (for me) the obvious Alstom product is the one already on North American roads - ALP-46 - rather than reworking Prima but then finding the reworked design has bugs.
 
Update, 214 has been moved inside the Whitby facility, saw it inside one of the berths.
As part of the prep and ramp-up for OnCorr taking over the operations, they have been given a bunch of equipment and one of the maintenance bays at Whitby. This equipment will be inspected by their crews in order for them to become familiar with it.

No, I don't know why they couldn't have used a bay at Willowbrook, either.

Less space, possibly?
 
Saw this being pulled at Whitby Yard just now, believe this is the cab car that struck a truck a few months ago at a grade crossing.

I will say off hand since I can't see the number clearly to be sure, its 314 with the nose missing
 
On the CPTDB wiki, it is mentioned on the page for the Series VIII coaches that 2840 was the final coach built to the classic design, in February 2015, though the numbering goes up to 2857.


Can anyone in the know shed some light on what this means? Does this mean that the coaches were numbered out of building sequence, or was 2840 started in the correct sequence and just happened to be the coach that was physically completed last, like how CLRV 4000 was built in the correct order but was the last Swiss car to be delivered?

From someone who worked at the Thunder Bay facility: https://cptdb.ca/topic/4666-go-transit/?do=findComment&comment=687029

It’s not uncommon for vehicles to be delivered out of order. Happens all the time with buses.
 
Just saw on my X feed that someone did concept art of Stadlar KISS with GO livery:

Conceptual art as it may be, it looked too irresistible not to post here.

Although Metrolinx is planning to mainly stick to electric locomotive driven BiLevels, the high-station-density routes may needs EMUs eventually (e.g. Georgetown corridor).

LOL the guy built it as a mod for cities skylines, talk about fantasy designs.
