The $16 billion Hudson Tunnel Project, the centerpiece of the larger Gateway Program, resumed construction this week after a tense funding battle briefly halted work last month.

A signal issue at Union Station is causing mass train delays Monday morning, GO Transit says.

The new Ontario Line will include protective barriers at all stations to separate platforms from the tracks, something the Toronto Transit Commission has been considering adding to its subway system for years. "Platform edge doors" will be a part of all 15 stations on the 15.6-kilometre downtown subway line, slated to open in 2031, city staff said at a budget meeting Wednesday. The doors are transparent barriers that open to allow riders inside when trains roll in, but otherwise keep people, animals and debris off the tracks.

Via Rail says recent train cancellations along its Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal corridor were in response to "heightened operational pressure."

Pressed for details, the federal Crown corporation declined to be interviewed but said via email that the cancellations are a short-term measure meant to "protect service reliability" during what's expected to be a challenging time.

Transit experts and advocates say, along with an official opening date, there are other details they're looking for if Line 5 is to have a smoother opening than the rocky first few weeks of Line 6 on Finch West.

A preliminary investigation into the incident found the derailment happened because nine screws holding down rail fastenings on part of the track leading into Union Station gave way under fatigue, Metrolinx CEO Michael Lindsay said. These lag screws should be fastened by four screws in the plate. At this particular location they were fastened by two, he said, citing the latest track standards, updated in 2016.

There's no one solution to fix the city's gridlock, Toronto's new chief congestion officer says as he finishes up his first week on the job. Andrew Posluns sat down with CBC Toronto on Friday to discuss the freshly created role, noting there's no magic bullet that will address the city's congestion. There are a lot of factors that feed into congestion, he said. We need to do everything we can in order to be able to mitigate and address the congestion challenges that arise.
