So it is … checking into the difference, I think it's an artifact of how MyBB formats pages and counts posts: I have more pages because as a mod I also see the markers for deleted posts. Apparently there are eleven pages' worth of those! Sad

Testing Coordinator: "507 can I hitch a ride?"
Train 507 Operator: "Only if you have fare."

This made me laugh.

Just saw it travel past me twice across Queen St, both times heading towards the Market. Didn't see it traveling the opposite direction either. Are there 2 trains out, or did it do a loop around downtown?

Just one. They’ve stopped at Benton and Charles for lunch!

I'm listening to the radio feed while at work doing other things, and they reported that some idiot put a lock and chain on the OCS line somewhere on Charles around the crossover, and they may need to de-energize the line and get mass electric out to remove it.

That address sounds familiar lol, that doesn't surprise me that someone would do that!

Ah, that's why I saw so many maintenance vehicles around there. I was wondering why they were, if the LRV was nowhere to be seen.

Could someone please post the link to the radio feed again? Would love to take a listen!

High(er) speed testing will be proceeding all the way to Fairway Station next week, weather (and chain-free OCS) permitting (Lightning and test personnel don't mix). https://kitchener.ctvnews.ca/high-speed-...-1.3926031
Also testing is to occur tomorrow (Saturday May 12) from Northfield Station to Mill Station https://www.therecord.com/news-story/860...amping-up/

Saturday! Unexpected, but welcome.

"Service is now expected to launch in December, nearly a year and a half later than originally expected, primarily due to several delays in vehicle delivery by manufacturer Bombardier."

Oh come on.
