Having a proper, grand, Union Station contributes so much to Toronto as a city. Not perfect, but we'd be way worse off if we got Penn Station'd. Next, let's bring Summerhill / North Toronto Station back to the use God intended for it: rail, not a liquor shop.

This is transit fan website, not a government plan.

I am sure that Alstom would fire up production of the Flexity Freedoms if a large enough order from Toronto/Ontario was requested. Also Hyundai Rotem also makes a similar tram, which seems to have similar door placements, which will be sharing tracks with Flexity Freedoms on the Edmonton Valley...

Very bad photo but peaking out from the Don Valley Station portal on Line 5

This person filmed Line 5 on a 2011 camcorder - from the same year construction started

Rising well:

Love the grandeur of the platform level. Solid ridership from my observations, including foot traffic and bus transfers.

Another set of Presto readers for GO and UPX added recently, between the Line 5 area and GO area.

Not much change from last photo

Northwest entrance not yet open, hopefully soon!

From today of southwest entrance. Looks like Presto fare gates have yet to be installed. Saw a few people trying to use the entrance!

At the Line 5 presser the Province held this past Friday, the Premier and Transport Minister stated emphatically the west extension was actually running ahead of schedule. Let’s see if that holds, but generally that’s positive news.

Also of note, looks like Metrolinx has purchased the segment of track leading to Niagara Falls Station from CN.

Caledonia GO from today. Thank you Line 5 for making construction updates easier!

From Discord. F59 repainted to new GO livery. Existing unit, not one of the trains from Metrolink (California). (Edit - swapped out the photo for a higher res version)
