Yea there were several sections that were a couple mm off

ill be taking 668 and 669 in june on wed and sun respectively... hopefully by then there will be more ventures in service.

so it looks like the entire line for the most part is complete and ready to go pending final testing and training of operators.... far cry from the debacle that is line 5.

Inb4 the leafs suffer another first round exit

yup they beat out Bbr as well. iirc it was between them, bbr and CRRC

well what part of the 0.84% is non essential to the opening of the line such as landscaping and minor deficiency work?

well if theyre negotiating now, perhaps a contract award by years end and then 2 to 3 years for the first trainset to arrive. perhaps the initial operations by end of 2027/8

so theyre once again stalling... 6 years of further study and design. that means we wont see any construction until at the very least the end of the decade.... 😒

like how they used the ALC42 loco as their template haha

ohh didnt know that. good to know 😳

for the stoufville line whats holding them back from relaunching weekend day trains? why only evening trains?

is electrifying UPX still planned or has it been quietly shelved for another generation to dither into?

It's honestly hilarious how we are so in awe of tech that is commonplace overseas. So much for north America being the bastion of progress and technology. We are still stuck in 1950

so the surface section is being configured to be a glorified streetcar??! geez TTC just dinosaur and redtaped again!

uhhh.. the delays are not on the overland but on the buried sections a la eglinton station. i can guarantee you that the costs wouldve been at least a quarter billion more to bury the rest of the ECT, not to mention another 2 years. they can probably do a better job with the OCS but this part...
