GO Transit

[KevinL]

Wow, it looks like GO Expansion is a major shit show. The entire premise of the contact structure was that ONXpress would be responsible for both construction and operations, so that they would have the freedom to balance both. But instead GO is completely scrapping the operations contract (Deutsche Bahn and Aecon) and reverting to Alstom.

Here's some background on the causes of the split; unsurprisingly, it's institutional inertia at Metrolinx where their way of doing things is seen as superior, and the new concepts DB were paid to bring in got stonewalled and revised to uselessness. https://www.thetrillium.ca/news/the-tril...s-10786705
