That train is so big! Can't believe the day is coming soon for the suburbs to get this big upgrade.
Huh - that is odd; I hadn't noticed that. You'd have thought they'd have terminated it at the Science Centre bus terminal.
I used to but i believe there were community complaints about some of the long walks between surface stops and it not being accessible so they extended the bus service to kennedy
Which I find incredibly annoying. There are a few on Eglinton that should be cut, and clearly only exists so that they could replace bus service. But now we have a bus service, so it effectively becomes a situation of "we have a local bus service, and we have an LRT that has too many stops that slow down trip times.
Any particular reason for having 2 doors so close by in the first and last cars?
It comes down to the fundamental issue with Low Floor vehicles, you are very limited in where you can place your doors. A lot of room has to be left for the bogeys, you basically have to place your doors in places where the space isn't taken up by something else. This typically leads to the problem of having less doors, thus having a smaller throughput of people entering and exiting the train, thus increasing dwell times. The reason why the 2 doors are close to eachother here is likely because they had the room for it, and thus it would slightly reduce the impact of this problem.
Doors should be fine - there are 7 doors, rather than 4, and the car is only about 60% longer.
