So they say they are almost done with the catenary too.
Also mentions trains are testing to Chaplin. Let's see how long till they can get them pass Eglinton.

For Cedarvale station progress to-date they note "Initiated train (LRV) testing", so clearly the full station construction doesn't need to be finished before trains can run through. The current state of Eglinton station may not be the deal breaker to a 2022 opening that some people think it is.

It's not opening up anytime in 2022. The line will be operational Jan/Feb 2023

With vehicle testing between Mount Dennis Station and Chaplin underway, that means light rail vehicles are running through Cedarvale Station (Eglinton West Station), even though the surface structures at Cedarvale Station is not complete.

I wonder how complete Kennedy Station is?
It looks almost finished, if not finished from the outside.

Mount Pleasant station and Eglinton are the furthest behind at this point. Mount Pleasant's secondary entrance is starting to get exterior finishes and the historic building main entrance has now just reached the surface so it will be a busy year ahead to finish the historic building rebuild but I fully expect it to complete in 2022. Eglinton station is currently the only station that I really question the ability to complete in 2022. It would be nice to stick a camera in the hole one the site of the old bus bays to see how close to the surface the concrete pours are. In some areas they have poured the station roof and they are pretty much done building the subway station box extension north of the intersection, but the main entrance on the bus bay site seems way behind.

One doesn't need a camera on a pole - you can see it from a bus as you roll past it. As of last weekend, they hadn't done any set up for any of the pours of the entrance building - it's still a dirt hole who's floor is almost at track level.
Elsewhere however on the site, they have poured a lot of the concrete and are getting close to capping the station.

11 or maybe even 12 years of construction for a line that stops at red lights on the surface sections.

That's because the automobile loving councillors, politicians, and bureaucrats have vetoed any real improvements to true transit priority traffic signals.The single-occupant motor vehicles must go first when they make a left turn.11 or maybe even 12 years of construction for a line that stops at red lights on the surface sections.
