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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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

That would work for Yonge-Eglinton - but what would you name Allen-Eglinton?

 

[Monarch Butterfly]

"Mr. and Mrs. Eglinton. Here's your new baby boy, Allen."

 

[M II A II R II K]

How about Midtown.

 

[Coolstar]

"Mr. and Mrs. Eglinton. Here's your new baby boy, Allen."

Still better than Cedarvale....

Eglinton West or Cedarvale. Or Allen-Eglinton.

And I meant Centre in the sense that all double-named Yonge stations could take the name (i.e., Bloor Centre, Sheppard Centre, etc.)
