But no they are just calling it Eglinton station, which, as we have discussed here and agree, its silly for the reason you mentioned. But, thats the way it be.

No, it's actually Eglingtong, there are 3 g's.

From the transcript (helpfully linked at the bottom of the blog post):

Well, Matt, it’s going to be close to the end of the year. September, October, November, that span of time. We’re not very precise at this point in time because, you know, when these big projects complete, there’s always a few loose ends that must be clarified and must be resolved before the service kicks off.

^ I'll take a guess and place a bet: October 30th.

Fairbank station southeast corner on January 23, 2022 taken by me:

We can now see "FAIRBANK" in the Toronto subway typeface on the glass.

Somehow I just realized there will be 2 Eglinton LRT stops in the GTA (1 for the Crosstown line, and 1 for the Hurontario line). Looks like Metrolinx' consultants royally screwed up as they duplicated 2 station names (something they were explicitly trying to avoid, which is why they paid their consultants millions to come up with dumb naming logics).

Now with respect to when the Crosstown will open, im hedging my bet on Jan 2023.

There used to be a Downsview Station. It was renamed to Sheppard West Station. They allegedly will be renaming Eglinton West Station (Line 1) also to Cedarvale Station.

They could be renaming Dundas Station and Dundas West Station, in the future. Even if the names are "carved" in "stone".
