Confirmed at the TTC Board meeting that Line 5 WILL open this Sunday, February 8 (under a phased opening)

Similar sign at Don Mills and Eglinton (I assume they're at all station stops)

Brian Weatherhead ("BW"), CTV News Jamaal Myers ("JM") 7:25 BW: "We understand there's some emergency breaking issues on the Eglinton West line, uh, random emergency breaking. Is this going to slow down the opening or change the opening in any way?" 7:45 JM: "Yes, so the TTC again is the...

Apparently maybe per WearyInspection5396's comment: "As of right now that’s what we’re preparing for, however we’ve been told in no uncertain terms that they can pull the plug on that any minute if there’s a new problem, or if the weather is going to be bad. Management is currently working on...

The traffic at Leslie and Eglinton kills the 34's commute time. This Line will instantly make that stretch of the commute better, TSP or not. If Laird station is the stopping point instead of Don Valley station (which it seems to be, as all the extra operations seem to be at Laird), then east...

A concerning comment from a Line 5 operator: "Line 5 op here: I’d like to point out that when they do open the line, plans are to have significantly reduced trains and operating hours. The biggest kink they haven’t been able to figure out and what made the testing run as long as it did is...

Going to echo what @A 6264 said a couple pages ago: We're 11 days away from the supposed opening date, yet no one at the TTC wants to confirm if it's actually gonna open or not; wtf is going on? How comfortable does CEO Mandeep Lali need to be to make an official announcement already?

You'd think so, yet delays keep happening with seemingly no consequence

Yes “We are working it out right now. The key thing is, you will get an update at the end of January as to where the Eglinton Crosstown where it’s at,” the mayor said.

There are 9 stations between Don Valley and Cedarvale. 22 minutes / 9 stations = 2m 20s per station (i.e., travelling + dwell time). That seems pretty good. Most people coming from the east will get off at Eglinton. There are 5 stations between Don Valley and Eglinton. 2.33 minutes * 5...

I am looking forward to not being stuck in traffic at Leslie. That intersection is single-handedly responsible for making my commute way longer than it needs to be

100% agree with your first sentence. Impossible to know how a December launch would've gone What I will say is that I won't be disappointed if: i) the surface section feels faster than Line 6; and/or ii) the underground section feels as fast as a subway. I will be disappointed if neither of...

Let's see what the TTC has done with its 42 day extension. Delaying a December 28 opening better have been worth it, but all our expectations are low after seeing how they've handled Line 6

Hopefully the TTC is willing to open this Line mid-board period if Feb 8 is missed, just like they did with Line 6

Imagine if TTC delayed opening until February just for it to run as slow as Finch Actually, we won't need to imagine. This'll be the reality. I see trains do test runs everyday and they seem no faster than they were pre-Finch opening. Aggressive TSP doesn't seem to be on yet, as I still see the...

Genuinely can't believe another year has gone by without an opening date announcement. It really seemed like 2025 would be the year 🤡 Isn't there a 90 day deadline to get the LRT open after substantial completion? I remember reading something like that a while ago, but I can't seem to find...

This meeting took place on Dec 5, 2 days before Line 6's opening and subsequent backlash I wouldn't put it past the TTC to delay the opening even further than Feb 8 after seeing Line 6's reception (I also wouldn't put it past the TTC to still operate Line 5 slowly after all this)

Really hope Steve's prediction about mid-Feb is wrong Line 6 achieved substantial completion on Nov 12 and will open on Dec 7; that's 25 days. 25 days from today is Tuesday, December 30. Changes always happen on a Sunday and the Sunday that follows Dec 30 is Jan 4. A mid-Feb opening would be...
