Re: Bubble Soccer. Nixon Field is at Queen's University

[WindsorSue]

Wow. This Kingston leg sounds jam-packed!
When I heard about the Bubble soccer, my first thought was they are doing the Face-Off challenge again. Didn't they combine a Face-Off with a U-Turn last year? On Isle de Madeleines?

[habsfan909]

Iat first I wasn't sure about Kingston, but if they add sailing this could be one of the best legs EVER

[WindsorSue]

All flights out of Kingston go to Toronto. If they used ViaRail to get to Kingston, it is probably a sponsor. If so, they may use it again to get to Montreal rather than Toronto.

I haven't been on here for a few days, but I was looking at a beautiful totem that we have close to us and just a few days ago thinking that TARCan needed to go to Haida Gwaii. I am stoked that they are going to be shown there. Can't wait.  And also feeling a bit psychic thinking about them going to Haida Gwaii the day they were being flown there. Heading out to buy lottery tickets now.

Headed back to Toronto by train 2 hours ago. When I Google Mapped the distance, it said it's about a 2.5 hour train ride. Will keep an eye out for sightings at Pearson in the near future

[Plaidmoon]

Toronto? That could mean an international flight is coming up.

Caution. Tweet POSTED today does NOT necessarily mean pic TAKEN today. Have asked him...

[walkingpneumonia]

The clock in the image says 9:45... and the tweet was posted at 9:49.
If it was today here are the possible trains:
They could be headed to Toronto, Montreal or Ottawa.

[georgiapeach]

I see that,lots of trains.

BUT look here?

That just means airport...

Its embarrassing to say the least - but VIA Rail never stops at Pearson Airport.

It looks like they were on the UP (Union St to Pearson) Express. Whose cameraman was that?

[Maanca]

Whose cameraman was that?

Not sure that's a way of telling. I remember one of the crew saying on Twitter during the season last year (or maybe the year before) that they rotate. So teams don't always have the same ones.

The first guy said they were taking VIARAIL so maybe they are on more than one train??

NO. That second tweet... the no spoilers guy... that is on the Union Station to Pearson Express (UP)

[georgiapeach]

I know. But that gives us TWO reported trains, so maybe we can narrow down where BOTH went. (could they be continuing on the trains..)

[WindsorSue]

FYI... the UP Express is devoted service between Union Station (ViaRail) & Pearson Airport. I know it's confusing, so here is map.

Canada's rail system is confusing if you don't know the jurisdictional vagaries .

The first train tweeter spotted teams in Kingston getting on a VIA Rail train. They must have been headed to Toronto Union Station because...
- VIA Rail does not stop at Toronto Pearson Airport - there is no VIA Rail station there.
- and...
Teams were next spotted on a UP Express train (Not a VIA Rail) train which runs between Toronto Union Station and Toronto Pearson Airport (YYZ)

What makes it even more confusing is that the VIA Rail website lets you enter Pearson Airport (YYZ) as a destination - even though you can't get to YYZ by VIA Rail...

Not to add to the confusion -but what if teams were given the option of flying or taking the train from Kingston to Toronto Union Station?

So some teams were spotted on VIA Rail from Kingston to Union Station.
Other teams (that flew) spotted on UP Express from Pearson to Union Station.

If that was the case, they would be headed West or North..... just let me know if it's WEST!!! I doubt that's the case though. LOL 

[fossil-racer]

Airport sighting lady is going to Italy!

International leg for sure then!!!

[georgiapeach]

The TAR Detective team has some reason to believe the Netherlands will be visited. 

Nice flight to AMS at 530PM

[BritishTARFan]

I've checked for flights;

Reasonable Air Canada flights to Europe: All flights land between 6:00 & 11:00

• London
• Dublin
• Copenhagen
• Amsterdam
• Munich
• Frankfurt
• Rome
• Barcelona
• Zurich

• Also Paris but that's almost 100% out of the question!

530 too early if they just went thru security..so AIR Canada maybe?

[Maanca]

Can't wait 'til tomorrow morning to (hopefully) wake up to news of what country they land in

Netherlands would be the logical choice with the significant WWII connection to Canada.
