Yea it would be a really weird move to suddenly claim not to want to operate the line after operating the RSD for a month after the incident
Is it though?
I can see the union being surprised that RSD has finished, and they still haven't seen the report for the accident or the RSD results yet. Asking for it, and finding out they won't see it until after the line has opened (if ever). That's actually the timeline I'd expect, rather than going public straight away.
Sigh - why is the TTC still using those dated boards with the lights instead of a modern screen??
Because it's vintage. The design was finalized a couple of decades ago; perhaps they were trying to avoid Y2K problems . Gosh, TTC was still installing CRT monitors for the station displays back then.
You wouldn't use this tech on new trains. If they'd gone for screens back then, we'd have had a thread full of complaining of more bleeding-edge/made in Ontario expensive tech, that didn't even last the necessary quarter-century.
They are the same vintage as the
R188 cars that you see on the
7 trains in New York City. Heck, looks very similar tech screen:
Compare to the kind of digital displays you'd expect today, on the new 2020s
R211 cars from the same manufacturer, that they use on the
A-C trains:
