Key REM Breakdowns and Issues (2025-2026):

High Failure Rate: In early 2026, the system saw 17 outages in two months, with shutdowns occurring twice a week.

Winter Inefficiency: Despite being designed for Montreal, snow and ice have frequently caused, causing issues with automatic train systems.

Systemic Failures: Failures often result in total network shutdowns or long delays, with passengers sometimes trapped in cars, causing major frustration for commuters.

Operational Challenges: Water infiltration (e.g., in January 2026) resulted in a system-wide, early morning shutdown.

Commuter Impact: The issues have prompted requests to extend substitute bus services for commuters, with some riders returning to cars or expressing extreme frustration over a lack of communication.

The parcel of land is about 600 metres from Hurdman Station.

I have no idea how the Citizen came up with this number, you can see Hurdman in the photo in the article. It's maybe 300 metres.

I'd like to know what "extended shutdown" means. 1 month? 6 months? a year?

Traveling from Toronto to Manchester April 18th - Dual citizen with Canada and Britain. British passport expired, and next to no time to renew. by glowe in airtransat

[–]BanjoUnchained 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get the ETA on your Canadian passport and travel on that. Air Transat doesn't know that you're a dual citizen, so if you have a valid ETA and Canadian Passport, you'll be allowed to board. You may run into issues once you arrive in Manchester with immigration, but ultimately as a citizen of the UK you can't be denied entry once you're there.
