    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    Gosh, I wasn't expecting posters to actually make guesses! T3G, you got it, it was 50 Burnhamthorpe.

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line: Don Valley Station (was Science Centre Station) | 22.8m | 3s | Metrolinx | HDR

    In spring 2024, all but 1 of the bus routes on Pape north of Pape Station were diverted to Broadview Station, to reduce traffic on Pape for work on the OL line. At that time, it was announced routes would return to Pape before the end of 2024. In late 2024, they changed completion date to end...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    As an old guy remembering something that happened to me 50 years ago... I had a job that started at midnight, and the bus route I took there, only ran once an hour. There were typically about 10 passengers, with a few getting on at random bus stops. One night, the driver decided to take an...

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Groundhog Day in Toronto, the day when a Line 5 train sticks its lead car out of its hole, and if it sees its own shadow, opening day will be in 6 weeks. (But it will just be a rumour, no official announcement.)

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Prior to the last 24 hours, everyone seemed to be predicting a date in December or January, as though February was out of the question. I'm looking and that and thinking, I predict February as the earliest date. It could be later. Someone said that Line 6 is about to open 1 month after testing...

    Well, a big snowfall is in the forecast for Sunday morning. Hopefully nobody has any plans....

    Whatever happened to pricing advertising space at "what the market will bear"? If half the advertising space is empty, the TTC should cut ad prices until they fill all their spaces again. Reduce by 50% if need be. Or more if need be. Aside from printing costs (let's assume those are...

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Question you would probably know the answer to: The Wikipedia article on Line 2, in the section titled "Depot", suggests the line isn't using the newest trains because they can't be stored at the Greenwood yard. "The Greenwood Yard will be inadequate as it is completely full with no room to...

    The forum allowed me to edit my post from this morning, and I was able to add a clip of your picture from Nov 15. Hope you don't mind!

    I didn't realize the sign had been updated to show the line number, before it changed again. That's crazy!

    As promised:: Photo taken March 27 2024 June 5 2025 Ocotber 25 2025 November 15 2025 (edit - added later - another clip from pleaseLRT) November 25 2025 (clip from picture posted by pleaseLRT) November 29 2025 (today) I was wrong, the "5" is orange, as it should be, not red (hmm...

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    This morning, this entrance still looked like this. In late afternoon, a new sign had appeared! Sorry, no picture, maybe I'll take one tomorrow, weather permitting. From what I can see, comparing it to an older photo, changes are: (1) There is a red box around the whole sign, which wasn't...

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Again, from what I've been told, the LRT service will be replaced by a night bus at night, and probably in late evenings after 10 PM for the first few months. Furthermore, subway lines over the last decade or so have been closed in late evenings on weekends or Mondays, for track and/or signal...

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Current bus service on Eglinton is so bad, whatever happens next can't be worse. (Crosses fingers.🫰) Also, I used to agree that bus service along Eglinton would likely be removed in future, but everyone on here was telling me I was wrong!
