My new documentary THE TRAIN TO NOWHERE has just pulled into the station.

It's an exploration of Ottawa's rail history, and having hope in bleak times for transit.

My experiences with Line 2 and 4 have been good, but honestly I've been very surprised by how often it's been having issues - I've been getting service alerts for both at least twice a week this winter. Hopefully the East and West extensions open soon and the Stage 2 trio will be complete!

But why spend some extra money now when you can spend 3X more a decade from now. Of course the ideal scenario would have Line 2 & 4 electrified same as 1 & 3 with a tie-in at Bayview to allow direct Downtown-Airport service, but I have doubts this will happen within my lifetime

If the entire alignment was double tracked it would be easy to run an occasional airport service direct to/from Bayview, which for many pax would eliminate a transfer. And Stage 2 South was the perfect time to do this - they had the entire line closed and tore up all the tracks.

Line 4 is great for people riding in from out west or who already live near Line 2, but idk why you would cut a bus route from downtown which is faster and more direct. Line 4 itself has really just been good at highlighting the shortcomings of Stage 2, especially the lack of double tracking.

Since these have opened by far the biggest criticism I have heard is how much more inconvenient it is getting to the airport now, especially for people travelling from downtown who need to make two transfers. IMO just because there's a rail link doesn't mean there shouldn't also be a bus.

Happy anniversary to the Stage 2 opening of O-Train Lines 2 & 4!

Frictional and Remedy both did their announcements correctly, IMO you shouldn't be announcing something if the release date is more than a year away. People don't have to wait as long if they don't know it's coming out!

In reflecting on the current O-Train offering, here are a few ideas that would enhance the service.

1.) O-Train Lines 2 & 4 should have the same hours as Line 1. (Going to airport in the early morning is difficult, but near impossible by train when Line 1 opens at 5am and Lines 2 & 4 open at 6am.

Incredibly disappointed to see this. PDX and CO can and should do better.

I love colour coding groups of clips in premiere pro, but as soon as you get to the bottom of the colour list it's just the most shit colours of all time. Why are these here. Using these just makes me want to delete the clips they're on
