Contract awarded.

There's a potential strike looming at City Hall that will affect the issuing of permits.

Pantographs are definitely the way to go. Funny thing was that as a child I used to enjoy watching the trolley poles navigate turns and the "clickety clack" sounds they would make at junctions. And of course the inevitable disengagements and watching the poles swinging freely.

I've noticed a surprising number of CLRVs on the 504 route recently, I thought the plan was for that route to go all Flexities as a priority.

Unlikely, I store my Presto card in an outside pocket of my cloth wallet and I have to press fairly hard onto most subway readers to tap through. A light brush doesn't work.

^The Pearson control tower makes an ideal stand-in for a dystopian reality detention facility.

New fare gates have arrived at St. Patrick awaiting installation. Only one side of gates though.

I heard in passing that the final closing date for Market Village is December.

About bloody time that the expropriation went forward. From the standpoint of the TTC also good to have a second exit in the subway station for fire safety.

I imagine some people wouldn't be satisfied unless they saw the Gantt charts, a CPM diagram and weekly status updates from the project manager.

One nice thing about a dedicated airport train service versus a regular subway connection is the addition of luggage racks and comfortable seating. Compared to say the Piccadilly line in London to Heathrow which has a very narrow subway car and less than optimal seating. I've been on other...

St. Patrick station has begun the process of installing new fare gates in conjunction with the construction of elevator access. Half of the fare entrance area has been closed and enclosed with hoarding. The other half has had its old fare gates removed and replaced with a single Presto reader...
