Everywhere in the world makes high frequency rail work perfectly. They built their express corridor services only after they maximized utilization of their regional and local networks.ellasonbasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368330032319799233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878723379768073364.post-18326574084489298702018-02-21T10:53:57.202-05:002018-02-21T10:53:57.202-05:00"Toronto-Ottawa -VIA Rail is pushing a high f..."Toronto-Ottawa -VIA Rail is pushing a high frequency rail line that has mostly level crossings. VIA Rail refuses to release detailed plans of the route [...]".<br /><br />This is a theme of yours - that VIA refuses to release "detailed plans" of their proposed high frequency service through Eastern Ontario. That's probably because they don't have any detailed plans to release. Has VIA undertaken a detailed route planning study? No. Has VIA carried out an environmental assessment? No.<br /><br />So the thing you're demanding to see in all probability *doesn't exist*. At this point in time it's little more than notional.<br /><br />But if your demands weren't silly enough already, you immediately go on to write the following:<br /><br />"Southwestern Ontario - People are objecting to high speed rail plans between London and Toronto, even before anyone even knows where the route would go or how it will be built!"<br /><br />OMG! People are objecting to something before anyone even knows where the route will go or how it will be built! Good thing the author of this article isn't doing the exact same thing with respect to the HFS in Eastern Ontario because that would be hypocritical and intellectually inconsistent.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15857050473904460243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878723379768073364.post-66603141480581966702018-02-20T16:10:53.295-05:002018-02-20T16:10:53.295-05:00Wah?

There is a great deal of data to support PTC, so why use accidents PTC would not have stopped? You are undermining your own argument.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00202625639038366975noreply@blogger.com
