This is a policy blunder. @YourAlberta isn’t “yours” any more if you can’t use the bus or LRT to get around and access jobs and opportunities!

This was expected, and ETCS Level 2 is also likely to be developed for HFR. We need @Transport_gc to lead the development of Enhanced Train Control standards and a compatibility layer between ETCS and PTC-equipped freight locomotives.

A long-term strategy for Alberta is good, creating a provincial agency is welcome and necessary, but there is also a need for swift tactical action to deliver projects like Calgary-Banff that are ready to get started. @ABDanielleSmith @DevinDVote edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/…
Our petition to secure the future of VIA Rail Canada has now been tabled in the House of Commons!

This is a success for our campaign to get the early morning trains back, but the long hiatus will have forced some commuters to find alternative arrangements and the lack of Friday/Saturday service is likely to be an issue for those not able to work flexible schedules.

Réjouissez-vous, les lève-tôt ! 🐦 Nous sommes heureux d'annoncer le nouveau départ matinal 641 qui assurera la liaison entre Ottawa et Toronto (arrivée avant 9 h), avec des arrêts à Kingston, Belleville, Cobourg et Port Hope, à partir du 27 mai. Infos: media.viarail.ca/fr/communiques…
Commuter rail, Calgary-Edmonton, or Calgary-Banff? We find out at 1pm Mountain... calgary.ctvnews.ca/premier-daniel…
We hope today’s announcement by @ABDanielleSmith is a project, not another study. There’s hunger for passenger rail in Calgary. People know the 1990 cuts were political and understand their city and others around it are hobbled without rail service to the rest of western Canada.

Thank you to everyone who attended our AGM in Ottawa today or who tuned in online, and to the members of our national board who helped make this event a success. Stay tuned for details of Transport Action Ontario’s annual meeting on May 25th.
There's still time to register and tune in online or join us in Ottawa for our Annual Meeting today. Get updates on our advocacy and see Christopher Green;aw's presentation on the history of VIA Rail Canada - 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific - Sat. April 27th. transportaction.ca/events/annual-…
Some of our AGM delegates toured Ottawa’s Trillium Line today to see work in progress. Although trains are running, it is still some months from being ready to open.
Thoughtful thread on the UK’s renationalisation pledge from @seatsixtyone. The key question for #Canada as it considers the HFR project is whether keeping operations public would be better than the proposed 30+ year too-big-to-fail concession.

Alberta's progress toward building modern passenger rail has been encouraging, but it could be at risk if the provincial government doesn't move more swiftly from words to actions.
This a success for all the Transport Action members and supporters who have backed our fleet renewal advocacy campaigns over the past several years, and for all the other organizations municipalities who recognized the importance of this project. #viarail
See us today at the Supertrain model railway show, at the Genesis Centre in #Calgary. Let’s talk about bringing intercity and commuter rail back to Alberta - we’re at table B-10

@the_transit_guy Never forget what we had and gave up:
@the_transit_guy We have a freight rail system second to none and a third rate passenger system!
I'm one of those people who think that the fourth-largest city in the world's largest economy shouldn't be a shack served by only six trains a week.
If only there were metros with smaller populations that didn't have rail stations and intercity rail service....
Reminds me of how in 2013 the director of GO buses told me how every bus they added that went to York U would fill within 2 months. Around that time GO was running peak hour buses Square One<>York U terminal every 5-7 minutes (combined routes) and this was suburb-suburb service.
At the @APTA_info conference, a Vancouver, Canada public transit planner said that they keep increasing frequencies to address overcrowding, but it just induces more ridership so the crowding comes back. We haven't begun to saturate the market for fixed route bus service in…

While many people may want a train right now, us included, it's important to crawl before walking. Nothing will get built without a plan and direction. This is an important first step that must be taken to ensure we have an integrated and comprehensive rail system.

@AdamMacVicar This is a terrible move for Calgary so many people including myself rely on the unreliable transit system to get to work or around the city as some of us cannot afford vehicles or to live downtown. Your basically asking people to pick and choose what’s important in life
@AdamMacVicar Nothing says “Get Albertans Working” like reinstalling a barrier to get to work.
NEW: Edmonton mayor Amarjeet Sohi has released this statement indicating the Government of Alberta is cutting its funding for the low income transit pass program in both Edmonton and Calgary.
@ClintonDesveaux @RailAlberta He does not believe in government, except when he needs highways. Socialism for me, capitalism for thee!
@RailAlberta If the Nordic countries 🇳🇴🇸🇪🇫🇮 can do passenger trains, so can central Alberta (CAL-ED corridor). Norway has about about the same population as Alberta, is mountainous, has a rough climate, has sparse rural communities, and somehow manages it. These tired arguments are retrograde
@RailAlberta People like Lorne need to understand that over 90 % of Canadians live less than 160 km from the American border. Alberta's land area, just like most Candian provinces, is not that occupied. That is why most of the population is in the YYC-YEG corridor.
What Lorne fails to mention in this op-ed is that the majority of Albertans live in the #yyc-#yeg corridor. By 2051 more than 80% of Alberta will live here, with a population density of 148/km² which is more than the French example used in the story. edmontonsun.com/opinion/column…
