TTC: Major Operational Issues (Various)

[NIV]

Subway down again today because of signal issues, was down Monday also for the same reason! I feel sorry for anyone that relies on Toronto subways. I might use the subway two or three times a year, i took the yonge line south last Wednesday for a Leaf game and service stopped at Summerhill for an hour because of signal issues. I started to walk south anticipating shuttle busses or resumption of service and ended up walking all the way to Scotiabank arena. Uber jacked their price up to $65. Beers went down good at the rink. I wonder if they should stop looping the subways at Union and have the Yonge and Spadina lines running as separate lines that terminate at Union. Having both sides stopped because of one signal issue doesn’t make sense.

I don't think that would have helped:

And how would you do that, considering that the signal system is completely integrated and the track is not configured for it?

Signal problems late this morning on the eastern portion of the 2 between VP and Kennedy.

Arrived at Kennedy to find an already pretty full train waiting, so it must have been idling there some time. Waited about 15 minutes before we were given the go ahead to leave, during which time no other trains arrived on the opposite track.

Not a word from anyone as to what the hold up was. Nothing on the TTC site while we were waiting, either.
