And have you seen the safety record of the Shanghai subway lately? Trains smashing into the backs of other trains due to shoddy signals. Anyone can build 40km a year, but can they build 40km safely????

Tell that to the business owners on those roads who insist they have customers who park on the street. Remember the St. Clair fiasco during construction when businness's where crying foul over lost revenue because their customers couldn't park outside their stores. Personally tho I think cars...

Anybody have a link to a page with up to date info on the inter-regional terminal?

Exactly....like putting a stop sign up in an intersection before somebody is run over, rather than waiting for something bad to happen.

The doors on the TR will not open until the train has come to a COMPLETE stop, the computer has acknowledged that the train is at full stop, and the operator (driver) has put the handle in full stop, then, and only then can the guard press the doors open. Get used to it, it's not a fault or...

5401 - 5406 parked at north entrance to Wilson yards maintenance building.

For sightings, pictures and delivery news regarding the new fleet of subway cars. This topic was started to avoind endless discussion and theorizing that is in other forums. Please limit posts to sighting, news and pictures. Thanx.

The T1's will be due for replacement at then end of their 30 year lifetime. Never 'assume' anytthing when it comes to public transit and municipal governments. The TR train was designed with functionality in mind, not pleasing aesthetics for your eyes... too bad if you don't like it.

My aplogies.. I saw picture of 5403 at Wilson and assumed the whole trainset had arrived.

The next trainset has arrived. According to a TTC driver on cptdb the first trainset has been returned to Bombardier to have some issues fixed. The second trainset is considered a second prototype.

When the H-4's are scrapped they will be sent to a scrap yard in Hamilton, just like the H-4's that they kept in storage for the possibility of the Olympics coming here. Also, the TR's will not see revenue service until atleast 5 -6 trainsets are here (march - april). Those who think that the...

LOL... my comment wasn't meant to offend...I was just being a little sarcastic....and to add a little more sarcasm, we as humans lived for thousands of years without A/C, why do people act like they have to have A/C all the time? Has anybody ever considered it is a $$$$$ issue? If it was...

What does any of this have to do with the subject of this thread - NEW TTC Subway Cars.??????? Speculation and chatter about the air conditioning of another province's subway cars belong's elsewhere. Don't ask me where, just elsewhere.

Speed control does refer to the actual speed of the train, but it also takes into account the position/ speed of all the trains on a system. ie in order to control the speed of train A, the ATC must know exactly what every other train in the system is doing, and what the other trains are going...

One trainset is at Wilson for testing (5391 -96). I believe 5381 - 5386 is still at the Kingston test track. The TTC are due to receive one trainset per month now. No idea if the next will be 54xx or 5381-6. All cars are standard length, same as the T1's, all H-series and M cars. I have no...

I apologize for my crappy camera

Cancelled = Dead unfortunately. Seems to be the way of things in this city. Remember Network 2011? We should have been riding the DRL next year, not having pipe dreams of it now.

I can't remember whether it was for North York Center or when they added Downsview, but does anyone else remember how they changed the maps on trains by putting stickers over the new parts? Like nfitz said, the perfect time would be when the new line opens.

That was me, saw it while I was going southbound to Yorkdale. Ran to my house to get camera, then raced back, but 5392 was already inside....grrrrrrrr........but the place is an absolute beehive of activity so hopefully more of the first trainset will arrive later today or this weekend.

I am well aware of that construction. I am talking about construction which was taking place INSIDE Wilson yards. I did not mention the work on the Allen which is clearly visible. What I am referring to specifically is the cement trucks which were dumping loads of cement infront of the...
