Hearing reports of a P1 at Lansdowne and a janitor being transported to hospital. Hopefully everyone is ok.
And plus how long can you close down Bloor Station to Spanishize it. Unless they can do all the work over a long weekend.
For reference, the 1988 Y+B Platform Expansion proposal - merged from plans posted by Steve Munro:

The solution is obviously the Sheppard Subway Relief Line. /sJust another passing comment as a Midtown commuter.
The buses on Eglinton are becoming impossible to get on at rush hour from Mt Pleasant onwards. This morning was pretty bad for it, large crowds being left behind. It will be resolved once the Crosstown opens of course, but I imagine the situation is not too different in other key parts of our network like Dufferin, Finch and Jane.

Yonge Station could get Unionized by adding a new south platform for eastbound trains which would push half the transferees down the Bloor platform to start off with.
Absolutely agreed. It's like trying to rebuild the old Chevy that does perfectly well for getting the kids to school and doing the shopping, but when upgrading it to handle the highway, it costs the price of a Porsche. It's time to keep the old Chevy running the way it is, with oil changes and new tires, and buy a new vehicle for the heavy lifting.With the DRL coming, I don't see much of a point in investing hundreds of millions in expanding Bloor-Yonge Station. Any investments should be on cheaper, intermediate measures to manage the situation until the Relief Line is operational.
