TTC did pay BBD money for them to upgrade the trains to say Sheppard West instead of Downsview.
It might cost $600k plus inflation just to rename Eglinton West to Cedarvale!

What the hell...what exotic program do they need that a simple retyping of the station name can't do? Don't tell me overpaid techs need to phyically
plug into every single car manually and then exhaustively test. No wonder there's no money for transit... simple things get super inflated 100x just because it's a govt deal.

And there's part of the reason I say updating the map boards arent as "easy" and "cheap" as what people are making it out to be.What the hell...what exotic program do they need that a simple retyping of the station name can't do? Don't tell me overpaid techs need to phyically

Last name change of a metro station in Montréal cost a bit less than 100k$. Included sound upgrades, new transit maps for bus stops and metro stations plus inside vehicles, and new printed mini maps.

Don't know if it's a known issue, but a lot of the orange signs along the Crosstown are bowing...

It's just a nice design feature Metrolinx has decided to grace us with, with the hard work of their consultants whom they paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to.

Metal expanding in heat? I hope they remember that when they laid the tracks.

Good, a short shelf life will allow for replacement with something aligned with wayfinding standards I hope.

Is there a chance the track could bend?

When they have to run shuttle busses they can run them on the tracks.

A couple quick shots from Yonge and Eglinton taken yesterday. Looks like the rebar and concrete has finally reached ground level. Less and less materials and staging around the intersection as time goes on.

Part 1 of 3 taken at Caledonia station on July 5, 2021:
Yes, I have managed to photograph a passing GO train. Good thing I didn't photograph at track level at that time.
