European Train Control System (ETCS) is coming to Toronto’s GO rail network, a huge leap forward!
European Train Control System (ETCS) is coming to Toronto’s GO rail network, a huge leap forward!
Light rail lanes, bus lanes, bike lanes, car lanes, sidewalks, and freight rail — all in one intersection! (And there’s a turntable for historic steam locomotives next door, too.)

🚄 America's high-speed rail era is here! We operate America’s fastest train (Acela up to 150 mph) and see big potential for HSR beyond the Northeast. Discover why we believe Dallas ↔️ Houston is a prime candidate for HSR, from Amtrak President Roger Harris and SVP Andy Byford.
I enjoy seeing passenger rail maps. Hope it happens.

It's so cool being able to track every bus in Ottawa all at once with @OC_Transpo's new API (each black dot is a bus, updating once every 30 seconds or so). A very work-in-progress app: reroute.derekellis.ca

While the intention was to provide a faster option for people travelling between Union and Pearson, I’ve heard riders’ concerns about servicing Weston and Bloor stations along the UP Express line. I’ve directed Metrolinx to not proceed with these changes.
Today @Metrolinx released a new map showing @GOtransit #GOBus routes! Hope it will make the network easier to understand & navigate, thus helping to grow ridership & reduce road congestion for everyone! #OTE2024 gotransit.com/en/system-map
Amazing! Great to see @GOtransitBus
We are one step closer to the finish line! Earlier today our new electric trains were tested in San Francisco. Thank you for everyone’s patience as we prepare for September! ⚡️ Please visit Caltrain.com/status this weekend before departure.
Look forward to seeing the @GOExpansion version of this one day. cc @AlexanderGlista @WBMetro62

Choosing to use a very widely deployed standard should be easier deployment, greater reliability and an easier transition for ops. The ETCS will allow trains to run closer together and with fewer signal delays, improving service frequency and reliability.
Metrolinx has selected a world-standard signalling system to deliver more train service in the future! European Train Control System – Level 2 will make it possible to safely run faster, more frequent trains on the GO network. Learn more: metrolinx.com/en/discover/wo…
Fun Fact: Ever wondered what these blue and white numbers on every GO Transit platform mean? They are train markers meant for trains to stop in the correct places. Each marker represents a different type of consist, for trains that are varying lengths or have different engines.
These folks have been advocating a long time, this is a huge win.
Premier outlines a Passenger Rail Master Plan to coordinate and move forward passenger rail in the province
Look back at 50 years of service on the GO Transit Georgetown Line (now Kitchener Line) metrolinx.com/en/discover/ha…
@StClairRider @mdrejhon Yes, there is constraints right now, the line between Danforth and Union has been reduced down to 2 tracks to facilitate Ontario Line contraction and to add a 4th track. VIA Rail in both direction, the Lakeshore East Line, and the Stouffville Line all have to share these 2 tracks
Today GO Transit has began the biggest increase in service since 2013, introducing trains every 15 minutes on 2 lines on weekends, and additional increases on weekdays. These screenshots were taken exactly 24 hours apart at 8:21pm, the increase n in service is very noticeable.

Connecting the beauty of Canada's national parks with two major cities and airports is a great idea. Build all of it, yesterday.
Premier outlines a Passenger Rail Master Plan to coordinate and move forward passenger rail in the province
This is the high point of the new parks! It’s exciting to see the topography taking shape. This is still about 2 metres lower than the final grade will be.
Great to be joined by my colleagues from Brampton this morning for a discussion with Mayor @patrickbrownont . We’ll keep working together to combat auto theft and keep Brampton residents and Canadians safe.
I really do think Brightline FL is a great model for Calgary Edmonton HSR. You don't need 320kph / 200mph, just getting up to 200/125 would be super competitive, and even having a small handful of level crossings is fine. Would blow the bus out of the water and be well used!
Great connecting with @patrickbrownont today in Ottawa. Brampton is a growing city with real housing needs, and solutions. We're working closely with cities like Brampton to help Canadians find affordable homes, and transit to help them get where they need to go.
