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

Most of the change is the surface stops, shaving 15-30s between them.

But they've also shaved some time in the Mt. Pleasant to Laird segment underground.

Here's the schedule:

I see in replying to @urbanclient it looks he posted the same material. Curiously, I don't see it when I look at his post:

Actually I didn't post the same material (the reply function might've merged the posts from your perspective). Weeks ago, I did repost someone's similar format GTFS? schedule showing 53 minutes for eastbound and westbound trips.

42 minutes is from a model I made using acceleration and speed limits seen in public videos of Line 5. It's not entirely.accurate as it assumes no elevation changes (flat terrain), among other things.

April 26
Had my first look at the east surface section since last year and only saw a small change today from last year viewing. I sat at my normal spot like I have the past 5 years for sometime to see what was new and what changes have taken place as required by the city.

The only change I saw was the left turns taking place last in place of first. The LRV's still see a redlight 10 seconds before the left turn singles change to orange. Need to check photos but looks like transit singles are on both side of the pole on both side of the intersection now. Since there was never a eastbound train arriving before the lights turn read, no idea if there is a a longer singles to stay green for it.

Headway was all over the place from three to seven minutes between sets in both directions. Some were a station apart to three station crawling along with no increase of speed.

In bad news, some of the same elevators that have been on and off are down again:

3 of the 6 TTC elevators that are down are on Line 5 Eglinton. The other TTC elevators down are Victoria Park, Bloor-Yonge, and St. Clair.

Set aside Don Valley, does anyone know why Line 5's elevators are problematic despite being so new?

Webarchive shows Cedarvale Elevator 5 was down 11 days ago, fixed by 3 days at the latest, and now down again.

Are the elevators under warranty? Or did the warranty start years ago and are now expired? Or when the TTC takes possession; ops, I mean Metrolinx,; ops, now I'm confused.

I believe Crosslinx is still responsible for maintaining the infrastructure.

There is a sign on line 6 saying elevators are out of service for a few moths either a Finch or Yonge Station. I thought I took a photo of it but end up not doing it.

Why would the signs for stations on the Yonge subway be on Line 6?

I said Yonge as I cannot recall what I saw for stations with no phot of it and it would inform riders going to Yonge that there was no elevator and chose a different route to Yonge if they need an elevator.

Not impress with a lot of TTC and GO elevators as they are very slow. Just try the Warden one on Sunday for the first time and very slow.
