I don't want to encourage anyone to mildly profit or lose off this information... but for Line 6 Finch West which is rumoured to be starting RSD on September 20th:
CityNews reporter said: "If everything works as planned, the line could open possibly as early as November" (Line 6)
Since Eglinton RSD has not even started... I think November 1st looks to be nearly impossible for Line 5 Eglinton

While possible, its unlikely that either Finch or Crosstown will launch mid-Board.
The November Board period for TTC begins Nov 16th and runs to Dec 20th.
I expect at least one of the two lines will launch for that date.

So Line 6 will open before Line 5 even though Line 6 started construction in 2019, 8 years later than Line 5 and 1 year before it was supposed to open lol

It's a shorter line with less underground stations

still very hard to rationalize the 7 or 8 years gap.... no matter how repetitive this discussion is I still feel this is amazingly unaccepatable. lol

Heard through the grapevines Eglinton LRT will not open in 2025 and the new target is Q1 - 2026 (not sure how accurate - seems pretty reliable however - so take it with a grain of salt)

All we have is rumour, scuttlebutt, and word from the water-cooler

Freudian psychoanalysis for the win!
I'm unsurprised by Q1 - I figured itd be pushed again. Its like a spidey sense, but for construction delays.

I'm not suprised.
If crosstown was getting close, like finch we would be hearing about revenue service by now.
Perhaps as metrolinxs CEO suggested they might do a soft launch first, but i personally doubt our politicians would approve it.
Personally where I in charge of the thing I might soft open the surface section while continuing to work on the rest. The surface section is afterall a street car.

I think opening only the surface section would overwhelm feeder bus capacity at Don Mills/Eglinton, where incidentally Metrolinx has decided to demolish the new bus terminal without opening it, so I don't think that's a good idea.

I am surprised this does not hit Ford's popularity more. Perhaps people in interested in the Eglinton Cross Town are already not Ford voters - but it is a really pretty bad example of government competence. If I was a provincial Liberal I would be beating him up more over it - thought I guess they have their own problems to focus on right now.

And how do you maintain the cars, when the maintenance facility is at the opposite end of the line?
