With the exception of those 3 lines, they pretty much just renamed the previous PowerPoint presentation

Is a 2024 opening date for Finch even likely at this point?

Doesn't sounds like it to me. If operator training hasn't started yet, I would assume an early 2025 opening. Drum might have some insight?

If only one cohort, it could be earlier than Eglinton, despite the head start on training by Eglinton.

But if they do 3-months of trial running, it's getting a bit tight already for a 2024 opening. Ideally they'd both open the same day to simplify all the route changes.

On the other hand, ideally they'd open in different periods, so as not to overwhelm everyone with all the route changes.

Looking like this will be the only new line to open in 2024. Hoping it does, we desperately need some good transit news

It's not.

It's currently looking as if both lines will open at the same time.

If you're inclined to be really pessimistic about Eglinton you might say it'll be the only line to open in 2025. Neither looks to be opening in 2024 at this point. And honestly, rather they take their time with testing/training than rush to make up for time lost during construction.

I was at Finch West today, and noticed they took down the big white and black T’s on top of the station.
