Great, Metrolinx has solved yet another non-issue, don't they have bigger problems to worry about?

If a St. Clair extension was built (and I think it ought to go to Jane Street for now), it and Lakeshore would be part of the legacy network. I think that's clear.
And if Eglinton ever gets converted to subway operation, its an orphan line, unable to swap any equipment with the other lines.
Not the end of the world, but not ideal either.

Shockingly I agree with Voltz on this issue, Metrolinx has solved a "non-issue", and now more problems are going to crop up.
And I thought the TTC was incompetent. Metrolinx has just proven how inept they are as well.
I mean, I can see the positives. But the network is going to be a mess. This means that the Sheppard Subway and Sheppard LRT will never connect, as they'll run on different gauges.
If Metrolinx had the money and inclination to redo the whole network in standard gauge, fine, but they don't, and they aren't, so they've just screwed the TTC (in my opinion). Thanks for nothing.
Transit City will eventually be part of a larger network of LRT that stretches throughout the entire GTA. Using a standard gauge will ensure that we get the best value for our money when purchasing new vehicles for these lines, and ensures that all areas of the region will be using the same technology.
Metrolinx map shows Waterfront West LRT (which uses Queensway, Bremner, etc) as connecting to Hurontario LRT. What gauge do you suppose this will be?
How about if St Clair should connect to Dundas and Kipling?
