#high speed train

[whereserpentswalk]

I have decided to become a walkablity extremist.

Cars should not be allowed in towns and cities at all. The only places where they should be at all present is in rural areas where any other means of transportation should be impossible.

High speed rail networks should allow for a trip from Mexico city to Montreal in under 24 hours.

All public transportation should be 100% free.

Lawns should not exist.

It doesn't make sense for single family homes to be built in most American cities.

Architecture must be beautiful again.

Every commercial street should have at least one bench.

Public restrooms must be free, common and accessible.

The pigeons are not enemies. The pigeons are freinds.

The federal government is "seriously" considering building the country's first high-speed rail link between Quebec City and Toronto, says Public Services and Procurement Minister Jean-Yves Duclos. Ottawa announced plans back in 2021 to build what it called a "high-frequency" (HFR) rail corridor with stops in Toronto, Peterborough, Ottawa, Montreal, Trois-Rivières, Laval and Quebec City. At the time, the government estimated the cost at between $6 billion and $12 billion. The federal government identified three qualified bidders for the project last year. A spokesperson for VIA HFR, the VIA Rail subsidiary set up to oversee the project, said the bidders have been asked to provide the government with two options: a "conventional" rail network with trains reaching speeds of 200 km/h, and a network with trains reaching speeds "comparable to those of European trains."

Hello, please, I have a survey that is in desperate need of getting done and it would mean a lot if you guys did it & sharing and reblogging. It is about a potential high-speed rail system connecting Toronto and Quebec City, its viablity and who would support it.

Don’t worry if you’re not actually from Ontario, the responses don’t have to be accurate, we just need more of them!

Anything will help, thanks!

GWT Merlin appreciation.

A smart livery from the early years of privatisation that sadly didn't last long was the "Merlin" livery adopted by Great Western Trains in 1996. This scheme suited the HSTs very well and it's a shame that GWT was ultimately destined to only last two years before the First Group takeover.
