Toronto Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

FFS, they're still going by the old signage standard, instead of doing things properly!!

Man, I'm annoyed by this inconsistency!

That dashed my hopes for Don Valley.

Crosslinx and their signage subcontractor still have control over the project. Contractually Metrolinx has no say until the project is handed over.

So we're now on our fourth iteration of Metrolinx station/stop pylons...

First the Line 5 ones that melted:

Then the original Line 6 ones:

Then the Line 5 replacements:

Then the Line 6 replacements:

... all before either Lines 5 or 6 have opened.

And I would argue, it's a case of sanity slowly prevailing. The TTC logo is probably the single most brand recognised logo in the city. Making it prominent, and downsizing that silly T that some high priced consultant flogged to ML novices who hadn't been around long enough to know better..... is very much a good thing.

Just following up on this...it looks like new signage has been installed at Mount Dennis...the only changes I can note from the original signs are the GO and UP logos beside the train image

Speaking of which, Kennedy's ones have been taken out for a while now. Looks to be just the light strips.

It's a pricey game of horseshoes.

Glitch in the Matrix. Re-uploading.

Don't worry. Shuttle buses will run.

Just saw a couple trains stop at aga khan; seems like they're running at full service speed now as they took off much faster than what's been seen up until now. Also they're using the ttc door chime

 

[jordanmkasla2009]

Also they're using the ttc door chime

The Hawker-Siddeley/UTDC subway trains and GO passenger coaches made that door chime so famous and it continued on through Bombardier (even making its way to Europe) and Alstom. (Now it's part of the orders for this current batch of buses to implement a similar tone for door closing).

Well yeah, anything, from power outages to breakdowns to medical incidents to accidents could trigger a shuttle bus requirement. Did you guys honestly believe that there would be no contingency plans set up?

Without a third rail, there won't be any track fire or necessary power cuts. I would like to believe there will fewer incidents

I wonder if they'll become rolling homeless shelters like the current streetcars...

 

[T3G]

I'm on them, not all the time, but not infrequently either, and have never seen this rolling homeless shelter phenomenon. Where exactly are you seeing this?
