Toronto Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

what?! 26 minute wait time?! I thought the intervals were 5 - 7 minute?!

Not for the first hour or so of service in a day.

I'd guess that this will change when the line fully opens.

I didnt clarify...it was 18-20 minutes, but, yes, very frustrating. I know now to ignore using this transit line on weekend mornings if I open at my job.

Service currently starts a couple of hours earlier on Saturday mornings. It starts at 20-minute service, but goes to 14 minutes (departing Kennedy) at about 6:30 AM and about 7.5 minutes by 7 AM.

I suppose my comment was directed more toward Sunday. But, in any case, the early night closures are more problematic from a capacity perspective along the entire route at the moment.

At Laird station just now, as commented by myself and others the Next Train info is not at all accurate. These two photos were taken a few seconds apart (train arriving and "5 min" at the same time)

It's funny you bring that up now as Metro just phoned me to cancel delivery for tonight as the store that sends the order (Stockyards) lost internet access this morning, so they could 't receive or process any orders today. They rebooked for tomorrow night, but we shall see.

I wish you luck, but it's a good sign that they at least called you first. I've had them fail to show up, wherein I call to complain and rebook for the next day, only to have them not show up again.
