Here on Kitchener's ION line it's the OMSF.

Great progress at Don Mills Station. Construction here should be wrapped up in late 2020, according to the video
No shots of the progress at platform level, however. I wonder how things are progressing there.

It did seem odd why no shots or mention of platform level. Though at 1:26 we get a shot of stairs and escalators which seem like they're going down to platform and appear far along.

Here on Kitchener's ION line it's the OMSF.

Boring when lots of opportunity for names. In a few years hopefully Dutton Hangar or something.

Just Metrolinx weirdness. Personally I just refer to Line 5 EMSF as "Mount Dennis Yard" and Finch MSF as "Finch Yard" and I would like to think that is what will become the colloquial terminology for the yards after they open.

You'd think the government would the name right...

Personally I'd refer to them as carhouses because LRVs are similar enough to the Outlooks.

Meh, we only have one storage facility. Eventually when the second one gets built, it might be renamed the Northfield OMSF, or Northfield Yard/Carhouse.

There's ATO in the EMSF and im sure there's ATO at Wilson yard so far.

The completion of ATC/ATO at Wilson Yard is the last step of the whole resignalling process of the YUS. Right now, there is ATC/ATO on the mainline, and from the build-ups to the mainline - but other than a test track at the north end, no where else in the yard.

Metrolinx doesn't have a creative mindset when it comes to names... Eglinton-Yonge Station?

I hate their deviation from TTC station interchange naming convention.

 

[robmausser]

I hate their deviation from TTC station interchange naming convention.

Not only that but they picked the wrong name of the two streets. This is on the Eglinton line so if you don't follow the interchange convention, the name chosen should be Yonge; the street that this stop on Eglinton intersects with.

Technically if you name this station "Eglinton", as in the name of the street that the line follows, every station on the line should be named Eglinton station.

Idiots.

 

[torontocolin]

I believe in this case they took the direction from the TTC. Since the station already exists and is called Eglinton, they simply stuck with the same name. I think this is the TTC policy going forward for inter-change stations, so it'll come up again with the Relief/Ontario Line, most notable at Queen.

 

[officedweller]

Yeah, Eglinton Station should be renamed Eglinton-Yonge Station to apply to both lines.
Eglinton West Station would be renamed Eglinton-Allen Station.

 

[Richard White]

Yeah, Eglinton Station should be renamed Eglinton-Yonge Station to apply to both lines.
Eglinton West Station would be renamed Eglinton-Allen Station.

Personally I was hoping for "The station formerly known as Eglinton"

I wonder when they intend to take down those ghastly verbose name placards from Sheppard West Station, already. I mean it's been two years since the change. The public knows by now.

To be fair I still call it Downsview.

Sure beats Cedarvale!

 

[JasonParis]

I wouldn't mind "Eglinton Centre" as a compromise of sorts.
