Because on a major route like Eglinton, it's far more likely to get a stop light while boarding at a near-side stop than one affecting through travel in motion.

I don't really want to talk about Russia or China here. Can we shut it and focus on the LRT?
Exactly. Let's get back on topic, please.

If you're going to delete messages - can you at least do it early enough?
People have discussions here and share ideas and then you swoop in and just delete stuff days after the fact.
Sure, if people report them earlier. Just responding to an influx of reports.

The other option is just not to delete comments that have generated discussion... not the end of the world to get off topic a bit and then you can bring people back...

Hopefully our very snowy winter provides ample opportunity for vehicle testing in harsh weather.

It would indeed be a good testing opportunity both on Finch and Eglinton. Have they been operating either in the last couple of weeks? Eglinton was certainly running last winter - but we didn't have a dump like this last winter.Hopefully our very snowy winter provides ample opportunity for vehicle testing in harsh weather.

Yet, "DriveTest" centres have been known to close for road tests, like today. Would have been an excellent situation to test the new driver's skills in bad weather. (Knowledge tests are open.) Wonder if the TTC takes new drivers for training on buses and streetcars on a morning like today?

In a desparate attempt to try and get things back on track here, I am compiling a video on the Belt Line Trail. i found it really annoying that Chaplin Station has gigantic stairs down to the trail, but no trailside door. Reminds me a lot of the south entrance of St Clair West, which has the exit to Cedarvale Ravine but is often closed.

For those who have seen train testing recently, how frequent were the trains running and where did you spot them?
I wonder if the track issues near Kennedy have been fixed by now.

I followed a train from birchmount to don Mills the other day, I did see one going the other way as well. It was actually keeping up with traffic for most part and that wasn't full service speed I presume.
I was wondering why the stops are placed after the light and not before, then I thought maybe they don't want a large crowd on one side of the street, that was my best guess. But they have done that with certain bus stops as well and it's actually stupid. You block up one lane near an intersection, the busy stops 2x, one for the light then right after at the stop, makes little sense

Not sure if you folks can see this video, but it’s a training run at Ionview from today:
