Does anybody know or think an announcement will be made for the opening date? Will that be in 2025 at least or by mid Jan at the very latest?

Where is Phil? He is missing his big 90 day moment.

Prior to the last 24 hours, everyone seemed to be predicting a date in December or January, as though February was out of the question.
I'm looking and that and thinking, I predict February as the earliest date. It could be later.
Someone said that Line 6 is about to open 1 month after testing completion, and Line 5 should take less time.
Considering how much bigger Line 5 is, I would think the gap would be longer, not shorter.
But I have to ask, how long have people on here been saying they can't imagine it will be much longer before Line 5 opens, and it can't possibly be more than a few months?
Oh yeah. 5 and a half years.
Rule #1 for crystal ball gazers: Don't make your personal wish of what you want to be true, be a factor in your analysis. (Probably the most ignored advice of all time.)

Appropriate on Krampusnacht, or Krampus Day, which is celebrated today on December 5, 2025? Watch out for birch rods.
Should have been tomorrow, December 6th, Saint Nicholas Day.

The worst possible date would be in March, since now that they achieved substantial completion they must open the line within 90 days

Common sense and experience, maybe!

Is this stipulated as legal requirement somewhere?

Good question, his Linkedin says he's still in Toronto.
He apparently did some consulting in Saudi Arabia in the last year, but is currently 'self-employed'.

Well at least Saudi Arabia hasn't gone to his head.

Yes, those of us who keep up with UT (and others like Steve Munro) know (or have a very good idea of) the opening date!! :->

Do we now? Unless we are guessing the February 15th (the ides of February!) board change. Though the board change theory didn't work for Line 6.

Groundhog Day in Toronto, the day when a Line 5 train sticks its lead car out of its hole, and if it sees its own shadow, opening day will be in 6 weeks. (But it will just be a rumour, no official announcement.)

Oh?
"As for when it will open to TTC riders, he said Metrolinx will continue working with the TTC “to think about ramp up of passenger service” and the first day of service, adding there are discussions about things like final training. A current projected timeframe for opening wasn’t disclosed."
Eglinton Crosstown LRT set to finish revenue service demonstration, but final path to opening ambiguous
The president and CEO of Metrolinx didn't provide a rough timeframe for when Line 5 Eglinton Crosstown will open to the public.
