Futuristic high-speed rail line killed by Doug Ford might be back from the dead Toronto Ontario DougFord
Alstom's HSR plan reads as sort of a compromise between standard HSR and the conventional HFR model pursued by VIA. Though trains could reach peak speeds of 300 km on some stretches of track, the high-speed tracks would be strategically located and trains would operate at conventional speeds along other sections.
Though this would not be a fully-high-speed-enabled line, Alstom states that its plan is capable of cutting travel times between Toronto and Montreal down from five hours to just three. The time required for a train trip between Toronto and Ottawa would be cut by more than half using Alstom's TGV proposal, taking just two hours versus the four-and-a-half-hour trip using conventional trains today.
