Finch West Line 6 LRT

Yeah, I guess both are useful. An individual rider gets more from the headways statement, especially when the headways are not uniform. "Every 4-6 min" is not the same as "every 3-10 min" for the expected wait, even though both might correspond to the same average frequency.

On the other hand, a city planner is likely more interested in the number of trains per hour, to calculate the overall capacity.

So do they have to do the lidar testing and track grinding on this line as well, or is that something exclusive to the crosstown line?

I don't know about the grinding, but they will absolutely have to do a LIDAR scan of the line before hand over - assuming that they haven't already done it.

That concourse photo looks stunning, you could easily convince me that is a rendering.

At a glance, every photo impresses and gives me hope for our other new projects coming down the pipeline!

I haven't had a look a the corridor in sometime and have yet to see anything that will change a fall opening of the line other than TTC training, scheduling and funding. TTC has set funding aside for fall start up with an unknow date at this time.

For the issues they had in the beginning and what was taking place, I had no hope it would open this year early in 2023 as well late 2022. Fall of 2023 change that view very quickly. Can't say that for the Crosstown line nor the Hurontario as both will be years late opening than plan.

I'm sure that ML worked extra hard to get the transit line in Dougie's riding finished!

I'm hoping it opens sometime in the Fall - I might even be able to use it for my commute.

Side note: I still think that big "T" is goofy as hell.
