You just mentioned the incident at Jane, so you must be aware of it. Everybody was evacuated because of a forgotten bag, a forgotten bag that was thought to be a bomb.
Yes .... duh ... I mentioned that incident - so of course I'm aware of it. Why would I not be aware of something I pointed out. I'm not aware of any bomb threats though; just forgotten bags.
OK, I ride daily, and although I'm on very early in the AM rush, I'm in the heart of the PM rush (luckily in the reverse peak), and although I frequently encounter signal problems at Davisville, I don't encounter bomb scares, attempted murders, shootings, knifings, power outages, or water main bursts on a weekly basis, nor a bi-daily basis as you suggest is actually the case.
Good grief, are you kidding? What, the entire TTC centres around you, so if you don't encounter a delay every week, there isn't a delay every week? Here, let's just look through my deleted mail from the TTC in the last few weeks.

I don't recall any of these being weather (though there were a lot of those in January). I think the estimate is 1 or 2 jumpers a week. Not sure why your even debating when I say there is at least 1 closure a week.
I can tell you for a guaranteed fact though, that the DRL tracks will be guranteed to cross Yonge St. Why? Tail tracks are a requirement (safety standard).
More likely because the platform will be under Yonge ... but I'd think there would be some tail tracks as well ... I don't think anyone said otherwise.
