GO trains using ‘obsolete’ crash-recording devices

Someone at Metrolinx is leaking A LOT to Trillium in the last few months. They are clearly concerned about security practices.

GO train near Oakville was seconds away from ‘worst-case’ derailment, internal Metrolinx report shows

Again, this had to be leaked to the media because there’s no transparency about anything at Metrolinx.

In other transit news

What was supposed to be a new GO train station to Kitchener on St-Clair - Old Weston is likely to be transformed to be for the UP Express instead.

This station was originally part of the old #smarttrack John Tory disaster plan.

Metrolinx says the reason for the change is that they promised 15-min service for this station and it would be impossible to achieve with GO trains.

As part of the same press release, Ontario announces the opening of a new UP Express station at Mount Dennis (on Eglinton).

So people travelling to and from the airport will be able to use this station.

This will also be a new station for the GO train to/from Kitchener

8 days later, still no information from #Metrolinx GO Transit on the operating contract being canceled. It was a 1.6 billion dollar contract. They were apparently also in charge of starting the electrification.

No information. Nothing.
