    In what context did this presentation happen? Is there serious consideration for HSR again?

    It would be a dream come true to see the TGV type trains in this corridor. But I’m also pragmatic. The important question is what would be the fare.

    Excellent and future oriented proposal. The most population growth is expected to occur in this corridor, and this infrastructure is needed to meet the demand for greater connectivity in the region. It will expand the job market and opportunities available for people in the region, generate economic activity, lift tourism, and cut down on carbon emissions. If Canada is serious and willing to invest in this, we should go for the top speeds to ensure the project actually cuts down on travel times enough to make it a viable alternative to flying or driving.

    High *frequency* rail is useless. Still cheaper by car, faster by plane - so there is little consumer benefit in adding frequency of departure. Owning the rails adds reliability but that only means they can support the slow schedule and stop giving discounts when delays happen.
    High *speed* - different story. Now it can reliably compete against the plane.
    Ideally the line comes into Toronto at Summerhill as Union is overloaded by Metrolinx GO. From this location its easier to connect onwards to London.

    Unfortunate the proposed route from Tor-Ott misses a very large portion of the population along the 401 (Oshawa, Kingston, Brockville-Cornwall). Alstom’s share of the mess in Ottawa’s LRT continues and is a bad sign for a greenfield project like this. On the positive side, this is a plan i’d support. We need high-speed rail on dedicated tracks in this corridor.

High Speed Rail Canada releases VIA Rail Canada, Infrastructure Bank High Frequency Rail Project Study Free Download

  Anyone who has followed former VIA Rail President, now Siemens employee, Yves Desjardins-Siciliano high-frequency rail crusade in Ontario and Quebec were left with more questions than answers. Details of the plan were scare and kept secret from the public. Yves anti high-speed rail speeches were well documented.  VIA Rail Canada's map on the alternative, high frequency rail, changed frequently and often. Claims of  improved frequencies, travel times, speeds were touted without any quality evidence to support it. High Speed Rail Canada releases this study to show just how far VIA Rail will go to keep the public in the dark about their proposed plan. This study is so  heavily redacted it is almost worthless. Why the secrets? Perhaps this high frequency rail plan was just a  pipe dream of Mr. Desjardins-Siciliano. Reminder the study is NOT about high-speed rail. Click HERE to view and download the study.  Canadians deserve better.

Hyperloop Nine Years Later and the Debacle Continues

Elon Musk Had An Idea Elon Musk in 2013 released his white paper for his latest technology titled "Hyperloop." Red flags should have been raised immediately has Elon stated he would not be developing the technology himself. He did host some student competitions but even those have been cancelled. Elon Musk student hyperloop competition in 2017 - credit Engadget High Speed Rail Canada released in 2020 a paper critical of the Hyperloop technology. It can be viewed here .  Some of the still pertinent safety issues were outlined including: Security Issues Sudden Decompression Thermal Expansion Pressure Emergency Exits G-Force and Illness Passenger Capacity Hyperloop Technology Needed That Does Not Exist Including: Hyperloop High Speed Switches, Airlock Systems, Turbomolecular Pumps  Let us look at the two big players today in the hyperloop industry and see how they are progressing.
