    Billy Bishop airport expansion...

  2. @TransportAction The ws"what we heard" document showed that Peterborough is asking to NOT have a station in town and wants it outside so commuters can drive to it.

    Since the detour to Peterborough and challenges of getting a train from Peterborough to downtown on dedicated tracks are huge, if they don,t want the train, then the detour should be cancelled, and Peterborough should be given GO Trains on existing CP tracks.

    Every detour makes Alto less competitive with Via/Air canada

    ✨ 💖💕🌹💐💖 💙💜💖🦋🌺💜🎼 🎶 🎸 Now playing Miles Davis -Bitches Brew LP Bitches Brew 1969! 🛍️ 🌑 🔔 96kHZ FLAC Digital version 🎹 📚 📖 🎻🎻 🎼 🎶 ✨ 💖💕🌹💐💖 💙💜💖🦋

    This is a LP you need to listen to with the best audio playback equipment you have!

    Bitches Brew is a studio album by the American jazz trumpeter, composer, and bandleader Miles Davis. It was recorded from August 19 to 21, 1969, at Columbia's Studio B in New York City and released on March 30, 1970, by Columbia Records. It marked Davis's continuing experimentation with electric instruments that he had featured on his previous record, the critically acclaimed In a Silent Way (1969). With these instruments, such as the electric piano and guitar, Davis departed from traditional jazz rhythms in favor of loose, rock-influenced arrangements based on improvisation. The final tracks were edited and pieced together by producer Teo Macero.

    note the PR: they placed young people to fill the background.

    Update: mandate given to Alto to serve Kington from Peterborough where it would connect with VIA local services along he Kingston CN sub.

    Kingston is 4th busiest train station in canada and had been ignored by government who only wanted Peterborough votes (and Peterborough that now wants its station oustide of Peterborough).

  21. A very good paragraph on the #Alto report on concerns from citizens (2 posts).

    Considerations were raised about taxpayer funds going to private companies rather than directly into VIA Rail for service and operations. There were questions about whether high- speed rail would offer sufficient time savings to justify the taxpayer’s return on investment.

    of primarily dedicated and electrified tracks."

    The introduction of the word "primarily" is interesting.

    "Trains will reach speeds of 300 km/h or more."

    So, like Brightline in Florida that makes claism fo its diesel trains reaching 200km: Make a claim because your train reaches a speed for 1 minute.

    The proper mandate should have been "trains will run on tracks designed to support 300kmh for majority of trip".

  39. @jfmezei A connection to Kingston is a major deviation from what was considered in the proposal phase. On the one hand, it's useful to consider where the HSR ought to stop, and Kingston is an important community; on the other hand, it appears that the #Alto project is much more in flux at a basic level than I had thought.
