The TTC doesn't use switch heaters on the streetcar network, due to them being single-balled switches, it's fairly easy to clean them and throw them manually if they need to

No, because they aren't in concrete and don't have electric heaters for them.

The switches on line 5 aren't in concrete and also have a different type of heater on them

The Flexitys were all brought in by rail. The TTC has a small spur track that goes up a ramp into a spur off the CPKC mainline. There is also a spur at the Mount Denis yard as well for the crosstown trains. Finch West has no rail connection for deliveries.

They have turn back switches both duel and single crossovers in several locations between Don Valley and Kenedy. I think I even remember seeing people report when a car ended up on part of the tracks, they were running both ways on a single track going around it at one point during the testing.

Just saw this on a T1 train

The TTC did it about 3 months before they opened the extension, but they had control and oversight about what was going on wher as with this, as it evolves, other organizations are turning it over to the TTC. The TTC most likely have delayed renaming the station until they have a firm date from...

No the one in the original station still says Eglinton West, but the new ones in the new entrance say Ceadevale

Part of that was because when the TTC wanted to do it, the contractor building the line was refusing access to the TTC because they were trying to sue Metrolinks, so they could pick an operator instead of having the TTC be named it by Metrolinks

It's so we know it's a transit stop, how are we supposed to know otherwise?
