The virtual open house presentation of April 14th mentioned for Cedarvale that "train testing through station will begin". I asked the question "what does this entail?" and I got this response from Metrolinx. "The testing of the revenue vehicles (LRV) has been ongoing for some time between the EMSF and Caledonia. For the next phase of testing, LRVs will be transported by road to the at-grade section, where they will operate between Laird and Kennedy until the track and OCS are completed through Eglinton Station next year.". They told me separately in Twitter that six LRV's are being shipped over to the surface section for testing. No timeline was mentioned just that it would happen later this year. I asked Crosstown in Twitter how many Flexity Freedom LRV's had been delivered to the Eglinton Maintenance and Storage Facility. They say 44, the April 14th Virtual presentation says 45.
I posted it previously however Metrolinx confirmed they would start testing this spring which means any day before June 21 (first day of summer) on the at-grade portion. So within 50 days or so testing will commence on the at-grade section.
