It was during that presentation that Ontario Northland teased the computer-generated promotional video on the Northlander above. Ontario Northland also shared renderings of the train sets, new shelters, and planned stations. The trains will feature built-in wheelchair lifts, mobility aid storage spaces, and fully accessible washrooms.
The Northlander will provide southbound service leaving from Timmins and northbound service leaving from Toronto, four to seven days a week, based on seasonal travel demands. There will be 16 stops in both directions.
