Je suis curieux de savoir le contenu de l’étude. Est ce que l’on a dévoilé au public ou simplement tabletté.
Avec un TGV Montreal-Ottawa faire un arret a Dorval fait encore plus de sens. Ottawa se retrouverai a plus ou moins 1 heure de YUL.
The HxR_TGx already confirmed Dorval
(That’s why Dorval terminus is getting fully rebuilt with a single station for exo-via-viaHxR-PSSO-stm bus)
Crazy how this wasn’t originally planned. Now we gotta wait even more.
Merci pour le document je ne l’avait jamais eu la chance de le consulter.
Need a link, please. We’ve long speculated about this but AFAIK it’s not confirmed anywhere.
The only thing I found is:
Q16. Will High Frequency Rail serve Dorval Station?
A16. Yes, High Frequency Rail is expected to serve Dorval Station.
The private developer partner and VIA HFR are expected to develop a project that improves integration with other modes of transportation where possible, including regional and local public transit, VIA Rail’s non-corridor services, and airports.
The only fully confirmed stations are Toronto, Peterborough, Ottawa, Montreal. Laval, Trois-Rivieres and Quebec.
In the document I shared that you reshared in your previous message there is mention of HFR at Dorval:
Yeah, it’s a recommendation, and logical as we all know, but the intermodal station at Dorval is anything but a certainty – just like the completion of the Dorval Circle project that began 16 years ago and wound up less than half-finished nine years later and $360 millon poorer.
I have seen via + ViaHxR at many public consultation for the Dorval terminus so i have to guess this is something that would have to happend
Dorval is not a requirement for VIA HFR AFAIK.
Yes like we all know, the intermodal station makes a ton of sense, but at this point even if the government is 100% committed to high speed rail, we don’t have any confirmation of an intermodal station with plans for properly connecting the airport to exo, VIA, STM buses, and the truly vapour sudouest project.
So this would be interesting to know
Even if it’s for via hfr, via proper would be the one doing the modernization
Note that in the leaked info, Dorval isn’t mentioned as a stop on the HSL.
