That conduit platform seems really high up. How are they supposed to evacuate the train if it's a LFLRV?

I believe the LRVs have doors on both sides.

The right side of the tunnel doesn't have a walking/evacuation platform.

^ That's true. I would have to assume that the design passed some kind of safety standard so maybe others are more familiar.

^Knowing how the TTC likes to operate streetcars at a snails pace and place slow orders all over the subway system, it probably will be this slow upon revenue service.

The Crosstown instagram account has two pictures along with today's video (see 2 of 3 and 3 of 3).

^If it was truly the first trip, the vehicle would have been equipped with cameras and clearance test material, and it would indeed have moved slowly. Maybe that’s why the video is sped up. I would not read anything into the video as an indication of speed.
Besides, it’s running against current of traffic,ie eastwards in the westward lane.

Wait, is the crosstown running on the left side?

Both tracks have to be tested in both directions. People were asking the same question during Ion's testing phase, and it now runs with trains on the right during normal operation.

So let's say a train breaks down, will there be enough switches/a system in place to allow for other trains to kinda simply go around it, do you reckon?

In other jurisdictions, they use both directions on the same track in case of problems such as breakdowns or injuries. Using the crossovers to switch around the obstruction. Can't see that happening in Toronto because that would be too complex of an operation for us.
