Gives more credibility that they really have been struggling to slog through the scored portion of the RSD
Also if the car drove over any of those small signal box things between the tracks, would that further destroy the already nonexistent signal system?

Stopped here on the UPX for the first time today and it is a little hive of activity! The trip from Mt Dennis to Weston is about 2 mins.

Here's my basically meaningless update of the screens showing transit updates on the line, from my somewhat local station at Mt Pleasant, taken last night.

Every update, small or big, matters and makes a difference imo

I wish I had your optimism. Mine got Metrolinx'd.

I'm surprised no one has been posting about the EXCITING new opening of Cedarvale today (sans Line 5 access). I saw a few influencer types out there trying to make the empty, white, hospital-looking tunnels look interesting. Clearly they didn't blow the bank on design that honours the art and architecture of the Eglinton West Line 1 platforms. Anyway, those white walls wont' be white for long!
I thought I would check out the crossing under Eglinton West from the south entrance at Eglinton & Everden. That was a mistake. It's not just inaccessible it's VERY inaccessible. I think I counted 5 flights of steps down, down, down, no escalator or elevator options. Then you hit a fare gate. No fare-free crossing of Eglinton underground here! That would have been too great. So for me who lives south of Eglinton, and often has a bike with me, and for the many other people who can't navigate a ton of steps, we will all still be waiting for the very slow crossings to get across this urban highway.
Don't get me wrong, it's good there is an entrance on the south side, but could they not find a way to make it a) accessible b) a way to actually get across the street without paying a fare? I guess the reality is that the large majority of EW (aka Cedarvale) passengers arrive via bus, or walk from the north side, primarily from west of the station. Still, disappointing!
p.s. I attached some photos, but I think they are too big? I even tried shrinking them a lot, but I keep getting a "we ran into a problem" error.

If you’re headed to the subway the new entrances to Cedarvale Station are acceptable, but definitely not for the bus terminal.
It’s strange how Metrolinx signage uses North and south for Line 1 directions but TTC uses terminal station names for Line 1 directions.

Haha, I posted too soon! How come you can upload photos but I can't? I must have enraged the UT gods.

How would you compare those new designs with the REM in Montreal stations?

I presumed these secondary station entrances have elevators. They would be kind of pointless if they didn't.
Looking at photos I took of the Don Valley Station's secondary entrance, I'm sure I see an elevator.
Does anyone have a link to a layout of the secondary building, and the pedestrian tunnel under the intersection? I've wondered about it, and I'm sure I've never seen a map or diagram.
