Should be exciting to see photos & videos of the LRVs, especially if they're run multi-unit with 2 or 3 car trains. I don't think we've seen anything but renderings & mock-ups.

I believe this will be the first time the Flexity Freedom will be used anywhere in the world. I bet a lot of people at bombardier are rather excited as well.

From this link:
Going to ask about the LRV barns on the Kodak lands. Will they have something there to test the LRV's?

I'm not sure if they'll present any new information, or it'll just be for asking questions.

The first TBM is almost at Oakwood. Allen Road is really close.

You think traffic at Allen and Eglinton is bad now. Soon they'll be removing the TBM from the west side of Allen, taking it over Allen, then reassembling it in the hole on the east side of Allen. Then, once it started boring again, all the equipment and dump trucks that are currently operating out at Black Creek will be start operating at Allen instead. Fun times.

How will the area from the west side of the Allen to the east side side of the Allen be tunnelled if not with the TBM and when?

It's basically just the new station there that'll need to be built later.
It's not exactly clear how they will do it, but it will involve some level of likely having to close the existing Subway while they build the new station underneath, but not until most of the rest of the tunneling is complete.
The same will likely have to happen at Yonge St as well.

Ahhh quit whining. That's not the right attitude buddy. You could learn a thing or two from the the Toronto Subway Song

They will use excavators just like when digging for a building. That will be the future station.

TBM tracker updated yesterday. The second TBM has passed Dufferin, and the first one is about 550m away from the extraction shaft.

Should reach Allen in December. TBMs will be moved in one piece across Allen to the next launch shaft.
From Allen to Yonge: late 2016
From Brentcliffe to Yonge: around the same time, late 2016
All tunnelling done mid-late 2016, then stations after.

Hoping smart track stops at Mount Dennis and the eglinton let gets extended to Pearson.
