Is the promised 80km/h in the tunnels at risk due to maintenance concerns? I'm not quite understanding what is happening here.

Now that one of the TBM machines is almost fully assembled at Exhibition, I'm wondering if they would launch one of the first before the other one? I heard that having 1 TBM lead helps to find any less than ideal soil conditions and gives information for the second TBM

it's amazing how much excavation we can see on pape and that's not even including the work underneath the existing station! :)

How would that even fit within the mandatory 90 day opening window after substantial completion was declared?

It’s true that they need to open it within 30 days, it’s explicitly stated in the project agreement

The worst possible date would be in March, since now that they achieved substantial completion they must open the line within 90 days

Funneling even more streetcars on the same corridor doesn’t sound smart to me, there’s already capacity issues on the existing streets. Fully eliminating streetcars off of queen street would definitely reduce capacity through the core, which could be useful if the Ontario line has a shutdown for...

Yea it would be a really weird move to suddenly claim not to want to operate the line after operating the RSD for a month after the incident

looks like all the budget is going towards the subway program and GO expansion is taking a back seat

Is there any way to tell metrolinx that the livestream for the board meeting has no sound? Can’t hear what they’re saying about go expansion

I would imagine extending Finch LRT eastwards would be a bit complicated if done in the near future because of all the construction at yonge related to the subway extension 💀

I thought metrolinx did claim that RSD restarted, or at least the minister of transportation publicly stated that

Did they remove the clear panels or are they still there? I would love to be able to see something while riding the Ontario line 😭

How tall are those concrete sound barriers and would you be able to see over those on the second floor of a GO train.

I thought they added a new entrance for the Eglinton Crosstown?

The main issue I see with renaming the station within the next 10 years is that I don't think the T1 trains cannot be programmed to produce the new name, since it does not use TTS like the TR trains do.

That’s very weird behaviour for something that’s supposed to be revenue service! Unless this is a special test needed to pass the week

Anybody got the link to the full press conference?

Gives more credibility that they really have been struggling to slog through the scored portion of the RSD 😭 Also if the car drove over any of those small signal box things between the tracks, would that further destroy the already nonexistent signal system?

Remember that they are taking the current portion of RSD on a week to week basis. Thus, if people like you and others notice a similar level of activity for at least a week, that means that no matter what the RSD is progressing to the next milestone That's my copium anyways haha 💀
