The most likely option would be constructing tail tracks at the east end of the line to store trains overnight like what is being done on the SSE. This would be a 3 or 4 track wide "storage" yard", 2 trains deep for a capacity of either 6 or 8 trains. Wilson Yard could be used for overnight...

Just to add on here is the official plan from the Sheppard East LRT EA.

The yard for the Sheppard East LRT (and Scarborough Malvern LRT) was to be along Sheppard just east of Morningside Ave. I believe that is still the plan today for the Eglinton East LRT.

The tracks along Blantyre Ave (the Blantyre Branch) were built by the Toronto & Scarboro Electric Railway which used them during summer. In fact the tracks along Blantyre weren't even on the street but instead on an elevated right-of-way. The tracks were torn up and reused to extend the main...

So I have made what I believe should be my final maps for the streetcar network unless I can think of something else. The first map is of the "Tripper" services from around the mid-1930's. Tripper's only operated in peak directions during rush-hour (inbound during the A.M. rush and outbound...

Adobe Illustrator I chose Stavebank instead of just Port Credit since the latter doesn't really tell you where in Port Credit the line ends. I know the original line only made it as far as the Credit River and Stavebank Road is the nearest road to the river.

Another map, this one showing the streetcar network at its peak under the TTC in 1931. This map also shows the 3 lines that were owned by the Township of York Railway's but operated by the TTC under contract. Just like before this map uses a New York system with letters denoting TTC routes...

Made another map, this one based around the Toronto Railway Company, Toronto Civic Railway, and Toronto Suburban Railway at their peaks after World War I before they became part of the TTC in 1921. This map is the same as last time with it using a New York style designation system. TRC routes...

Made this map showing the Streetcar network at the peak of the Toronto Street Railway era before there operating charter expired in 1891; this was before electrification when the lines were still operated by horse-drawn cars. The real routes never had any kind of designation and were just known...

You are correct the Eglinton West Subway had no proposal to be extended to Yonge Street at the time it was thought up, and this carried over to the Rae days when the line was truncated. The line had it been built in either form (to Pearson or Mount Dennis) would have been completely useless to...

I was using school buses for field trips all the way up until the last one I went on in 2010 (Grade 10 field trip to the Science Centre). I never had to take a TTC bus for a field trip and the only time we didn't use a school bus was for trips outside of Toronto; for those they would charter a...

The problem with this is that subway construction in Toronto is even more expensive than LRT construction so a policy of all or nothing on Subways is a policy of "Pay More, Get Less". It's not LRT construction costs that need to be brought down, its subway construction costs that have to come...

Are you saying the TTC's head of subway construction back in the 80's was wrong when he made this statement?

All this discussion about underpinning makes it a shame that Donlands is out of the way for the routes alignment since it was underpinned when it was built.

For Scarborough Centre Station the Civic Centre would be a great jumping off point to me. As someone who live near McCowan and Lawrence I can't really think of anything in the area that really inspires any sort of artistic feeling in me. Sure there is the hospital and the ravine but that's...

I figured this would happen; they'll probably buy up some of Vancouver's Mark I's as well.
