Welcome to Toronto Commuter 2024. Built by the Great Western Railway (Ontario) between 1853 and 1855 the present day Oakville and Grimsby Subdivisions hosts over 100 passenger and freights trains daily making this the busiest rail corridor in Canada.
This timetable enhancement pack includes the following. A brand new 24 hour timetable featuring Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area regional rail, intercity passenger, local and fast freight services. 6 custom made scenarios featuring passenger and freight services. In addition 21 reskins are provided to transform locomotives and cars from Sand Patch Grade, Boston - Providence, Peninsula Corridor and MP36PH-3C Baby Bullet add-ons into appropriate liveries. Finally tweaks to the existing route includes adding stations to the PIS, adjusting passenger density at stations and as a bonus added new paths to the Scenario Planner.
With 111 playable services, choose from 88 regional rail services operating the MP40PH-3C and Bombardier BiLevel cars along the western shore of Lake Ontario on all day stopping local, limited express, and rush hour commuter services. Or drive 1 of 10 intercity domestic and international services with the F40PH. If freight is your preference, you have a pick of 6 yard transfer services or 5 local shunting jobs using the GP9Rm and the GP38-2. Or drive the AC4400CW on 2 short haul manifest servcies. Looking for more freight, use the Free Roam feature to create your own adventure exploring the various industrial sidings throughout the route. While you are riding the rails, keep an eye out for additional AI operating local and fast freight services.
What's included:
Timetable - TSW4 version (V1.2): [NEW]

Timetable - TSW3 version (V1.2): [NEW]

Repaints (V1.1):
- 21 reskins:
- MP36PH-3C and BiLevel cars in Regional Rail inspired livery.

- Adjusted monthly temperatures.
- Scenario Planner 2.0 compatible:
- Added 60 new paths including access to all portals for a total of 70 paths.

Issues:
- Passengers behaving badly,
- On westbound services, passengers getting off the train will pile up and spill over onto the track.
- At Oakville station, passengers cue on the island platform between track 1 and 2. In reality there is a fence dividing the island platform and track 1.
- At Aldershot station, passengers cue on Platform 1 which is disused in real life.
- Aldershot PIS display boards are backwards. Track 1 shows 4, track 2 show 3, etc.
- Switch speed limits are Slow Speed (15 mph) but in reality they are either Medium (30 mph) or Limited (45 mph).
- 30 mph zone entering Oakville Platform 3. In reality Platform 4 is a through line and 30 mph limit applies to this track only.
- AI does not turn off headlights on reversing services (i.e. some trains to Union will have headlights on rear of train).
Comments:
- All comments are appreciated but please remember Oakville Sub is an older route that was not designed for passenger services. So I am limited with what works and what I can change. This represents many months of hard work on my own time. Please enjoy.

This sounds just awesome. Great work, really looking forward to drive passengers in Canada... Thanks, ey
great mod
This is insane, the amount of modifications this brings! Fantastic work!!!
Very good job !!
slapped in the face with this masterpiece, So many modifications!
Truly incredible! I can't imagine Dovetail's offical passenger timetable (if it ever releases) will be anywhere near this good. Lots of thought and care went into this!
Can't wait to try this! I even love how you used the BPE version of the F40ph to simulate the rear platform that existed before the cowls were extended to make room for the HEP. Would you consider allowing the SFJ F40 to substitute on this timetable, to simulate VIAs newer F40s that did have the HEP?
I hate to tell you but you are giving me too much credit. I choose the BPE version for two reasons, first I was already using BPE for the Amfleet cars and wanted to minimize the number of required DLC. Secondly I am not a fan of the braking system on the SFJ version. I can take a look at the SFJ F40 and see about adding it.
"first I was already using BPE for the Amfleet cars and wanted to minimize the number of required DLC. "
Good thinking, but since the Baby Bullet is required, that necessarily means the player has to have SFJ as well.
As requested I have added the SFJ F40. Enjoy.
This looks amazing, but can I still play the default Oakville and it's scenarios with this installed ?
Yup. This doesn't replace anything, just adds a second timetable.
The stations mod does however remove the original journey from the menu. This isn't a major issue, though.
I am working on a fix for that.
I can only see the Bi Level Cabcar somehow in TT selection, I got a ton of mod, do you wish me to try figure out what conflicted or theres something that you can guide me to?
That's odd. Providing you have all of the required DLC you should see 6 selectable locomotives in the timetable. I intentional didn't install any mods while I was developing this so yeah it sounds like something is conflicting. Afraid I can't give you any hints but I'd appreciate if you do find something to let me know.
I'm also getting the same issue, have all the required DLC installed.
Sorry to hear that goosewaffe. If you have other mods installed, I would recommend removing them and see if my timetable works. If you find a conflicting mod, let me know.
I'll have a looksy
Strangely i noticed after installing the mods i lost the stock on boston sprinter and only when i removed the stock they reappeared, the only one that was on boston was the cab car
Interesting. Could you download the Station pak (THB_OSD_Station-RD) from here and see if it fixes the problem,
https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/toronto-commuter.76384/page-2#post-831693
Thanks.
Thank you so much for this. I grew up near this line riding GO Trains so was dissapointed that there were no passenger train layers in the release. This is the layer this route has always needed. Well done!
You're welcome and thanks. I also grew up nearby (the other half of the route) and was also disappointed with the route in general (scenery, services, etc). So was happy when the editor came along.
I assume that the route doesn't have any ATC/ACSES functionality installed, so the unit in the F40 doesn't work?
EDIT: It's worse than that; if you turn it on it assumes "Restricting" and holds you to 20 mph (brake enforced) the whole way.
There seems to be an issue with speed limits. I ran the Amtrak service holding to the posted limit of 95mph - which is reflected in the profile map as well - but the program registered my speed as around 130! And I lost all my APs for "speeding"
Is there a miles/kilometers conversion problem?
OK, it seems the two issues are connected: running faster than the ATC limit registers as "speeding." Solution: turn off PTC and everything works fine.
There is no PTC/ATC/ACSES in Canada. So I wouldn't recommend running with safety systems on. Burlington to Toronto Union is being upgraded to ERTMS over the next decade.
It is crashing TSW after today's update
I'm guessing you are using TSw4 and are updating from the original version. Did you download and install the 3 new files (Repaints, Stations and Timetable) because you can not mix V1.0 with V1.1.
The current file dates shown as being added are:
TSW3- 07-09-2024 x2 <-- I downloaded only two that are showing as updated as of 07-09-2024
and what I take as being TSW4- 15-05-2024 x2 <--the two from this date I did not re-download.
Nor did I redownload the PDF which is from 15-05-2024.
Maybe something got lost or mixed up in the update process.
No mix up. Only the Timetables have been updated to V1.2. The Repaints and Stations are still V1.1 and do not need to be redownloaded if you already have them. You also do not need to download both Timetables if you don't want to. Timetable.pak is the full version for TSW4 and Timetable-TSW3.pak is the TSW3 compatible version.
Okay very good thank you for getting back to me, very much appreciated.
Do you think some of the passenger train services could start in the "bottom right" despite no stop being there? Or some runs with mainline diesels? That area seems fairly underused, yet it could be interesting to have something go through the entire map. Nice work already though. Even in base liveries
Hey Monder. Thanks. Not sure if you are looking for playable passenger services starting in the "bottom right" but 3 MP40PH/Cab car services and the Amtrak service enter and exit on their way to/from Niagara Falls. There is also 2 freight services that travel the entire run plus 1 one way freight service. In real life that area is fairly quiet.
On another Subject Does your Timetable Enhancement mod change lighting in any way be it station and or yard lights or both?
I ask because I am going through my mods to find a lighting conflict or what ever mod(s) are effecting lighting at stations and yards.
There are no changes to lighting in my mods. Repaints only changes locomotives/cars, Stations changes station directory (PIS), passenger density, average temperatures and adds paths for the Scenario Planner. Timetables adds the new timetable and scenarios.
I again thank you for the quick reply, I appreciate it, and thank you for making the game so much moe better :)
My pleasure. Thanks for downloading and have fun.
Great mod, really enjoying it. Just curious why there are no Go Transit logos on the trains, did I miss a step when installing it? All I have are two green circles instead of GO on everything? How can I get the logos to show up?
Hey nairfacial. You didn't miss anything. The trains are unbranded as the liveries were created by editing the CalTrain textures and not using the livery editor. So I was unable to add the logos in the proper place. Thanks for downloading.
works under TSW5, Thanks for your great mod!
Thanks for letting me know gghobby.
