The press seem to have some facts wrong in their news stories about what will happen when Line 5 opens. I'm looking at CityNews website's article posted 40 mins ago, and 2 things were spotted immediately. 1. They say opening time will be 5:45 Monday to Saturday, and a "potentially late start"...

73B is one I hadn't thought of. It might be an option, though it seems to be a winding route. Otherwise I would go with Duffo's suggestion of 989 express to Keele. Thanks to all who responded.

Now that this thread is filling up one page per hour, it's probably a lousy time to ask questions. But here's one anyway. If I were to ride to the west end of Line 5, then try to get to the Bloor Subway to go further west, which bus route would you recommend, and which station would it take me...

Did anyone ask him about the commemorative coins?

Who was it who said this thread MIGHT reach page=year=2026 by opening day? It will likely be filled in the next hour.

You're talking about me, aren't you. I apologize.

In advance of today's announcement, I'll take credit for having made a couple of predictions. 1. I made a joke that Line 5's opening should be regarded as a rivalry with NASA, who are planning their moon rocket launch for Feb 8, "at the earliest". Either the TTC or NASA have the option of...

Of course, I got the details wrong. They were in the storage yard at Wychwood near St. Clair, and the interior shot does not show padded seats, though it does show seats in good condition. There is a page with an article and more pics, taken a few years earlier when the streetcars were not as...

Probably both. I've seen pics of some 50 streetcars in this state in Greenwood Yard, and a pic taken inside one of the vehicles, where some of the furnishings were still partially intact, like the old stuffed upholstered seats. I was joking of course, they were being kept for scrap, but I...

I presume you mean the previous Line 3, not the future one. Are the trains sitting in storage at McCowan Yard? Will it be like how they stored old streetcars for years, presumably hoping they could be refurbished and restored if really needed.

The rule is, every time a beautiful view is created, walls of condos go up.

I wonder if some confused person has received one of those, and tried to insert it in a Presto machine for payment.

Sounds like a cousin of the SRT McCowan Yard station.

I wonder if they made a bunch of souvenir coins for the launch, and have no idea what to do with them now.
