My humble attempts at trying to catch the solar eclipse from Montréal. We were lucky enough that from our backyard, we were in the path of totality. Such a surreal, and beautiful moment.

@zhuoyanakl When you realize that the comms person for ALR is now the head comms for AT this makes much more sense

Looks like we are finally getting an Auckland Transport train in the new livery to match the buses and ferries! Oh this is such a refresh to the current design. Can’t wait to see the finished product.

@JontySh Do you mean in Wellington? I don’t believe there are painting facilities in Auckland.

[John N @johnage]

Would love to see one painted in the darker blue configuration.

@hznry @AucklandPride It’s a messy history! And really feels like they try to be as ambiguous about it as possible so people think it’s associated 🙃

@RichardHills_ @urbanistfromwhk I watch this about once a month with various friends in Montreal, but they just never understand how good it is. https://t.co/793oQ9oMdI

@vanhudge I learnt of this performance from one of these evenings, and then made a specific detour in Stockholm to see it like the Eiffel Tower lol.

Aecon was proud to join Mosaic Transit Group consortium partners, the Government of Ontario, Infrastructure Ontario and Metrolinx to celebrate the commencement of revenue service and opening of the Finch West LRT in Toronto. Read more: https://t.co/neltcvW4Cz

At the peak of construction, over 300 Mosaic Transit Group employees worked on-site, including 100 Aecon team members, and 85% of the workforce was from the Greater Toronto Area. The 10.3-kilometre, 18-stop line is operating as Line 6 within Toronto’s transit network, providing frequent and reliable transit from Humber College Station in the west to Finch West Station in the east.

The Finch West LRT is the first modern LRT system delivered in Toronto. Congratulations to everyone involved in this transformative project and thank you for your dedication. Aecon looks forward to continuing to play a key role through the 30-year maintenance term with our partner.

Aecon est fière de s'être jointe aux partenaires du consortium Mosaic Transit Group, au gouvernement de l'Ontario, à Infrastructure Ontario et à Metrolinx pour célébrer le début de l'exploitation commerciale et l'ouverture du TLR Finch West à Toronto. Pour en savoir plus : https://t.co/99s6MC06gi

Au plus fort des travaux, plus de 300 employés de Mosaic Transit Group ont travaillé sur le chantier, dont 100 membres de l'équipe Aecon, et 85 % de la main-d'œuvre provenait de la région du Grand Toronto. La ligne de 10,3 kilomètres et 18 arrêts fonctionne comme la ligne 6 du réseau de transport en commun de Toronto, offrant un service fréquent et fiable entre la station Humber College à l'ouest et la station Finch West à l'est.

Le TLR Finch West est le premier système de TLR moderne mis en service à Toronto. Félicitations à toutes les personnes qui ont participé à ce projet transformateur et merci pour votre dévouement. Aecon se réjouit de continuer à jouer un rôle clé tout au long de la période de maintenance de 30 ans avec son partenaire.

Exciting news! REM have just announced that the Duex-Montanges branch of the system will open on November 17.

That’s 14 new stations, with 3 connection points to Montreal’s metro system, and the return of rail transit for those who lost their EXO train for this project in 2020.

@ArcCyclist Can’t believe it’s this tweet that got me to come back to X. Just so so I can tell you that you’re a feeble minded human being. Denying the photographic evidence of what is happening just so you can live up to your own idea of what Israel is.

What a sad life you must live.

[John N @johnage]

Confirmed testing for this evening! https://t.co/KUSWAsRn9W

[NZ Transit Buzz @NZTransitBuzz]

#BREAKING #RailNews: City Rail Link has officially announced the first test train will take to the City Rail Link tunnels tonight pending final checks.

[John N @johnage]

Rumour is that the City Rail Link tunnels have been handed over to KiwiRail and the first test will be tonight, now that the underground section has been energized.

Can’t wait to see images of trains finally rolling down these tracks. An exciting step for the project!

Soon Auckland becomes a real city

[John N @johnage]

@Tiare_MP I theorically can’t even buy a bottle of wine in Ontario and bring it home to Quebec. It’s insanity

[John N @johnage]

@LewisHoldenNZ Just like to cover my bases so no one of my old colleagues get mad at me 😅

@BitchAboutDevo Desperately need you to go a full audio recollection of events for some kind of archive somewhere. You need to be nationally recognized for your services.
