They try and keep them for the other iXpress routes. I do have a photos of them on different routes and the 302. Get your photos though. Most are due for replacement soon.

GMoldlook Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 So I believe regional council rightly voted to keep 15 min off peak service on the ION trains. Any other transit specific details out there from the budget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
