The Metrolinx Board wrapped up their little discussion on station names, and you have to wonder how well some of these members know our city.
"Regarding Bathurst and Forest Hill, Forest Hill is associated with Forest Hill village, the little village down Spadina, and really that would be a point of confusion. And I don't understand why you can't just call it Bathurst. Wait, is there another subway now called Bathurst? Which one is that?"
"On this notion that we can't have duplicate names, so we end up with Fairbank instead of, I think Dufferin. Where for me, Dufferin & Eglinton is pretty easy for me to figure out where that is, whereas Fairbank means nothing to me. I still, 40 years into it, still don't get St Patrick or St Andrew making much sense to me on the University line, or Line 1 or whatever it's called."
"I think Bathurst West would work I guess, if there are other stations that are called Bathurst."
"Aren't there two TTC Spadina stations? Which are the two Spadina station?"
