In spite of various arguments against having crossovers on both sides of every single station, this is definitely an argument in favor of same.

That's assuming they retire sequentially, which may or may not be the case. Also not all the H5s reached 35–36, the youngest were only 33. And the H2s were barely 30 despite being as reliable as the H4s. Even if the lifespan of any individual T1 doesn't exceed 35 years, the lifespan of the whole...

There definitely is some talk within TTC's fleet planning that the completion of fleet replacement might stretch all the way until 2035 (!) due to some of the 55 replacement trains potentially being used for the extensions instead, and I assume the reason the additional 15 haven't been ordered...

Hopefully this rules out any possibility of replacement cars being reallocated for YNSE/SSE service expansion, as I've been saying all along...

Aside from the fact that any rebuilding of GW would pose the same complications for storage of the existing fleet (and thus shouldn't affect delivery of the new fleet, because it would be stored wherever the existing fleet is, displacing the existing fleet), I'd rather the cars get here ASAP...

Because why not? Just because that was usually the case before doesn't make it right (or wrong), and certainly doesn't mean it should always be the case going forward. It's mostly because of the T1 & TR orders that line 2 is known for "handmedowns". And again, when the T1s were being delivered...

Slow LRT or not, any line 4 extension should be an extension of the existing subway.

Let's have the same energy in case the line 2 replacement/scrapping doesn't happen on time / as planned.

Indeed, the ones in Warsaw or Budapest have essentially nothing in common with, for example, REM, so it's hard to even see the logic of grouping them into the same family. I assume the same is true of the Movia family, which the TR is part of, even though the TR has nothing in common with the...

I mean, that's not really a case of rolling stock being a disaster since the rolling stock was never built in the first place. The contract being cancelled could be considered a disaster of a different kind, the same kind as when the TTC cancelled the RFP for T1 replacements due to lack of...

The TR is part of the Movia family (has Movia been discontinued?). These T1 replacements seem to be part of the Alstom Metropolis family, various flavors of which exist in places like Warsaw, Budapest, and REM. I kinda wish it was the former, but that option was never on the table...

The H6s are the ones that got a light refurb, only to be retired a short 7 years later. The H5s were rebuilt in the 1990s (saved them from getting replaced with more T1s), and 50% of the H4s were rebuilt in the very early 2000s (iirc) to keep running another decade (rush hour only). Not even...

Line 1 will also get a few, so it's not like line 1 would ever be stuck with handmedowns like line 2 was.

Well, it'd be more concerning if getting hit by a car was less likely than a terrorist attack (I'd also probably rather get hit by a car if I had to choose the lesser of 2 evils). I do use the sidewalk but always pay attention to my surroundings to see if there's anyone sketchy/suspicious...

Line 2 & 4 use the same model, but 5-car vs. 4-car sets respectively, also line 4 is ATO (no cabs, just a full-width railfan window) while line 2 is manual. So basically similar situation to our line 1 & 4. Line 3 is the one that had the old 81-717 (and Ev3) trains that were replaced in...
