REM - Matériel Roulant

[ComradeMark]

Yikes, and what went wrong? This project started with so much optimism and I truly still am hopeful for it but man... there's absolutely NO communication when it comes to current construction updates. Moreover, the work seems to be done badly

1) We haven't seen a single test which includes multiple train sets, or 4 car sets

2) I don't think there's any documented platform screen door operation with trains...

How are they planning on running the line at 2.5 minute intervals when they are running the darn line at one train per segment for the last year...

I don’t believe they’ve done many “driverless” tests at operating speeds, nor any tests at full speed, nor any with four cars. No catenaries on the bridge, incomplete through PSC, a gap to be bridged near Bridge… yeah it’s not opening before the end of next year.

As surefire bet as the Canadiens dont do the playoff this year.

Tests d'automatisation du système

Depuis quelques semaines, l’aiguillage situé après la station Panama permet aux trains de réaliser des boucles – appelé carrousel – afin de tester l’automatisation du système. Les trains ont déjà parcouru cette section à 90 km/h. Tout récemment, trois trains roulaient en même temps sur les deux voies!

“Up to 90” is great, but their own site says full speed will regularly be 100 on the SdC and in the West Island. The segments From Panama to Brossard aren’t ideal for top speed testing.

I’m not saying they should hurry up their testing protocol, I’m just pointing out that there are many tests yet to be done — including stops at stations and timing the screen doors, along with full tests of trains with nobody aboard — and the segment from Central Station to Brossard remains largely incomplete. Pretty difficult to test the system when it’s unavailable.

So one of two scenarios will evolve: testing will be rushed (and perhaps with deleterious effects) to open by the end of the now-promised “spring-summer 2022” timeframe, or the timeframe will be pushed out further.

I agree with you on most points and would not be surprised to see the timeframe slip to summer-fall 22.

Par contre il ne faut pas oublier que CDPQi se fait mitrailler dernièrement, et a besoin de bonnes nouvelles. À mon avis stratégiquement ils doivent générer du goodwill, ce que le premier tronçon apportera.

Donc pour avancer sur le REM Phase 2, ils doivent livrer le REM Phase 1. Donc disons qu'ils ont plus de motivation que le projet de l'extension de la Ligne Bleue.

2022 Prediction: REM southbound will run before the Pie-IX SRB. Running as in running in their final form.

[SameGuy]

I like your optimism.  Je partage ton avis et j'espère moi même que tout se passera bien.

Insta du REM. En action.

C’est toi qui filme?

à 1m22, un voussoir de la branche ouest croise le train…

C’est cool! Ça brasse un ti-peu au niveau des images aussi
