You probably need to have exits at the end of each car for fire safety.Just have the end doors not open if need be, or have no doors there at all and more seats.

What's your source on this?One of the things that the TTC is actively looking at for this next subway order is a train length of 500 feet, versus the current standard train length of 450 feet. As far as I know they are still trying to figure out all the areas on the system where this additional length will be a problem.

I'll believe that the TTC is orderering longer trains when they actually order them not before it happens.Over the past 15 years I've learned one thing. Never ask @smallspy for a source.
If he is making the claim, chances are it's true.
If he starts saying that a flying leprechaun in a spaceship is milking unicorns over the coast of Westeros then I would be worried and give him a drug test.
Until then take his word for it.
TTC has said it was looking at 500' TR2 that would have a 7th car. If TTC wants to deal with squealing on curves, all 7 cars should be the same length that would reduce the distance between wheels. The systems wasn't design for longer cars than the M1. The 7th car was to be 50'. If you go to even length, then each car would be about 71' long.What's your source on this?
Wellington has new overhead from York to Yonge and NO overhead from Yonge to Church as Wellington from Yonge to Church (and Church from Wellington to King) will be rebuilt next year and the track has been removed/cut in several places. (There was new overhead on this block of Wellington but it was removed several months ago.) Most of the 'loop" Church-Victoria-Adelaide-Church needs to be done too.Overhead Still needs to be converted that I saw on Sat and fail to looked at a few other locations..

Like I said, there are a lot of places I haven't seen or looked at in sometime and looked at a few on Sat as well failing to look at other place in my travels.Wellington has new overhead from York to Yonge and NO overhead from Yonge to Church as Wellington from Yonge to Church (and Church from Wellington to King) will be rebuilt next year and the track has been removed/cut in several places.
