That better not be a tictok trend, I would have had platform screen doors at the four transfer stations for sure.

I've seen some decent train operations from Line 5 on the surface so far, but this video here was just bad, Signals that changed to red just as the train was arriving or ready to go, even while the vehicle signals remained green, Burned a green signal at Golden Mile, there appeared to be a...

Those numbers include 30 years of maintenance and operations, previous costs for subway lines didn’t include that.

This keeps being brought up, but are the Citiadis's being made currently either? There is not enough demand for this type of vehicle to stay in continuous production. If an agency wants to order them then they can make them. Hopefully Metrolinx uses a bit of thought with this.

Just to STC actually.

There were proposals of elevated stations over intersections, Doug just wanted tunnels.

No, TBMing under an open corridor is an obcene waste, all because Doug hates streetcars. Even a median line that is separated from major intersections would give 95% of the benefit.

So I did find a steam woking from underground, maybe not all providers work with heavy data use.

Another odd thing is the non-cab ends of the LRV's have windshield wipers, and it looked like they have wiped recently

Looks like there isn’t cell service in the tunnels, a live stream cut out when they went underground.

I’ll be following along from my couch at home.

But how enhanced will it be?

The presentation slides I’ve seen show they will have a decently wide corridor that includes a service road along side the tracks, so they should be able to squeeze in room for a bike path as well.

Since most of the lines meet a subway station after leaving Union, I hope they thought of and are able to run trains to and from those stations, leaving Union as clear as they can for the lines that don’t. Obviously not easy to do at the drop of a hat, like they might not have trains in place on...

I’m curious to know what triggered the train to stop, like if a passenger pulled the emergency stop handle, it occurred far away from the operators who might not have noticed.
