I feel almost narcissist quoting myself, but this location does indeed sell ice cream. Has cones, sundaes, McFlurries, and also something called a Affogato, which is "made with Oreo® cookie crumbs, our famous soft serve and a shot of espresso". Gonna give that a try later!

I guess it isn't a total surprise. Any idea where the regular McD's will be and when it'll open?

Ah, it's just by first glance it looked like a normal McDs... I still need a place for McFlurry after a Blue Jays game, hopefully the regular one will open sooooooon! Interesting menu options, will try it out soon. Also there's a free McCafe coffee truck outside at Front/York today as well!

I went by here yesterday as well, peeked through and it looked like a full size McDs, I don't think it was McCafe only. Maybe they were doing a test run with test customers before they officially open?

Is Uncle Tetsu really confirmed?

I'm still waiting for McDonald's to reopen here.....

Seriously, it's going to take that long to get a McDonald's in there??

Even then a lot of immigrants are still Cantonese, though obviously other dialects are spoken far more now, such as Mandarin. I was born here and I'm fluent in Cantonese, can speak some Mandarin but not too good at it. I wouldn't say they are separate languages though.

I'm surprised Cinnabon won't be back until the Bay concourse reopens. But I guess it's more of a prime location. McDonald's is however opening in York, but they're much bigger and I can see them having a store in each concourse even when Bay opens.

Another catastrophic delay today: Stouffville Line Passengers: Earlier one of our trains had an engine failure and blocked the tracks south of the Unionville GO Station. The following GO Trains were affected: : The Lincolnville GO 07:16 - Union Station 08:32 train arrived into Union 2 hours 24...

There's a TTC sign closer to the stairs to the subway. I believe this sign block is for the main hall.

No. Though they share similar infrastructure.

Just a quick question, since UPX is operating under the honour system aka POP. I thought there might have been fare gates since the line has its own platforms and all at Union. Do we have to scan our printed tickets before boarding? I had the complimentary tickets just on my phone, no one...

Ah so they will sell it for just $6, I ended up paying $16 to get the card, I guess I'll just transfer my balance onto this so I can use this one.

Good lord, the platform is also like double or triple the width by the looks too.

Good thing I didn't need to take the GO bus last night or I'd be really pissed. How the hell do you not know this in advance so at least better planning can be made? Things in this city really make you shake your head sometimes.

Given there are 5-6 years of stalling on this, I hope the powers will get to look at this solution to use in the Sheppard subway tunnel, then we can have a second crosstown LRT line and it'll make this LRT much more acceptable.

I have family from Hong Kong, but really Smarttrack or GO RER is pretty much what the East Rail Line in Hong Kong is like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Rail_Line It used to be primarily a single track that got expanded and also electrified over the years, and now they pretty much run...

Isn't the fine much more than $100? Surely I'd expect it to be $200 or even $300.

Have tickets ever included free GO? That's the first time I've heard of that, and I've been a long time Blue Jays fan.
