Introduction of fast trains over Canada.
It sounds as very expensive and time consuming project that could benefit a lot.
Do you think winter season might impact delivery of their services? How long we might wait to see that project accomplished?
Is that service gonna be affordable for an average citizen?

    Hi, for winter it's possible that there will be outages, we are in Quebec and the winters can sometimes be harsh.

    They said it will be done in stages, so some sections will be available before others.

    The price will have to be good but profitable, I wonder..

    Wind brings snow around. Rail tracks should have some solutions.

    Finch West LRT recently opened in Toronto and that train line couldn't even operate properly during the recent winter storm.

    I believe that this service will be in the same range with the cost of the flight across Canada just it will be less pollution and the build of the entire system will assure a lot of work for the Canadians.

    I saw a video of someone running through the stops faster than the train.

    Yes. That's looking promising now.

    That is disappointing.

    Is that supposed to be some sort of faster line?

    Fast is relative
