The Flexities have an absolute minimum gauge of 1425mm between the rails. Typically the allowed tolerance during the construction phase is -0.00mm/+3.00mm to ensure service starts with an optimal track gauge. During the maintenance phase, however a tolerance of -5.0mm/+15.0mm is considered...

Based on the article the only thing that seems to be standing in the way of an opening date is 95 fully trained TTC drivers and some minor teething issues that could easily be worked out while they are training the drivers. Once that's done the TTC can take over and the 3 months of simulated...

It should also be considered that they've adjusted the budget for the project to include a very large contingency fund that may not be used in its entirety but is there because of lessons learned from when they did the underpinning on Line 1 for the Crosstown. I'm this case it may prove...

Beginning this Sunday June 23rd, 512 St. Clair service will return to using streetcars between St Clair Station and Gunn's Loop. Due to continuing work at St. Clair West station streetcars will not serve the station loop, riders will need to exit at Bathurst or Tweedsmuir to access St. Clair...

Starting this coming Monday June 24, streetcars on the 508 Lakeshore will be extended to serve Broadview Station via King, Queen and Broadview and will no longer serve stops on Parliament and Dundas. 508 Lakeshore Streetcars will use the 505 Dundas platform

Nah that one was RT-41 the Tie Tamper that was built in 1993

the ones I saw today actually had their nosecones attached so I'm thinking testing is going pretty well at this stage

The speed limit for cars on the section of Eglinton Ave from Brentcliffe Rd to Kennedy Rd is 50 km/h. the LRT is limited to 60 km/h on the surface section (from the portal east of Brentcliffe Rd to the portal west of Kennedy Rd.)

If there really was such a huge problem like that with the tracks they wouldn't have been testing with higher frequency over this past weekend. They've already done a profile and gauge analysis of the tracks and while there was an issue months ago on the surface section they fixed that during an...

You'd still need 1 60' bus to arrive at a stop every 100 seconds in each direction to attain the same capacity as 1 of these Alstom Citadis Spirit LRVs every 5 minutes

Saturday was their last day. Loblaws at 720 Broadview near Danforth is being rebrand to No Frills on May 3rd iirc

Considering the track has now been certified for "Design speed train movement" they're now essentially at the meat and potatoes of the systems testing which they haven't communicated the progress of

the bulk of what I've seen them doing has been final road grading, paving, sidewalk, land and hardscaping work which all needed the warmer weather to do. the rest I'm guessing has been deficiency corrections.

The way I see the sign says that this elevator gives you access on Level 3 to both directions of Line 1 and to the connecting elevator to Line 5, which would have on it's signage the directions of Line 5 as well as the Line 5 Concourse level. Out of frame of the picture looks to be the signage...

Odds are at this stage of testing the sensor inputs aren't enabled in the control cabinets to eliminate potential failure points with the signal programming so that the light cycles will operate consistently until they can properly test the sensor integration.

Much of the timidity comes from the fact that the operators don’t have full clearance to operate them as they would in normal service yet. There’s still a few defects that need fixing before they can gun it everywhere on the on-street section. Another thing to note is that right now there’s also...

ION doesn't use ATC. ION uses ATP. Vehicles on ION are controlled by the operator at all times with the ATP providing a display with maximum permissive speed limit. It's a different setup to what is going to be used on the Crosstown. On Line 5, the trains are driven by the computer in the ATC...

It's likely that Choice Properties REIT may have chosen to negotiate with IO and Metrolinx to provide an expansion of the existing railway easement and use of land for the portal and station construction in exchange for taking on the planning around the creation of the Transit-oriented Community...

A lot of mapping data is out of date when it comes to railways I find. However that corridor is still that wide and afaik you can still find traces of that old spur in the area too

They've been carting away scaffolding and equipment from most of the underground stations the past week or so
