Toronto Bloor–Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

Wasn't there supposed to be an additional car to be kept in front or near the Scarborough Civic Centre? What happened to that plan?

I know Detroit bought most of the old SRT cars. I imagine HCRR got one as well.. not sure what the Zoo will be doing with one.

HCR has two I'm guessing that the other pair from this one was the one that was scrapped so it's probably not worth doing anything else with except for scrap

HCRR took two, but only one will survive in full, the other will be partially retained as a cab viewing area for visitors.


However, this is not the one that is being counted in the scrap column, that will be 3001, the car that derailed and shut the line down. Its widow 3000 was presumably in good enough condition to send away, and will likely be linked with the widow of car 3008 (Zoo car), 3009.

They really should do the same with the front end of 5619, it barely takes up any space compared to a full subway car.

Apparently it was a certain well-known HCRR member who managed to salvage the front of 5619 but I have no idea if they still have it or what they intended to do with it after it was on display in 2016.

I like sending one to the zoo. Keep it in Scarborough.

An update: this car will become part of a station for the new zoo people mover.

Are they moving forward with the maglev people mover?

Haven’t heard anything about it since 2020 or so. Can’t find any more info other than the initial PR.

I knew I didn’t hear incorrectly on the news, though:

But this is the only source I can find that mentions a new zoo train.

The whole zoo train is going to fit inside the RT train????

So STC is the only major mall without a direct connection to a transit line ? Pretty dumb oversight

Last I checked, Square One and Sherway don’t either.

Not remotely. Sherway Gardens, Square One, Vaughan Mills, all major malls also without a rapid transit connection.

As for the dumb oversight, you can thank Rob Ford and his enablers for that.

And Markville and PTC (if we're talking about a subway line). Enough of the Scarborough crybully victim olympics.

edit: also Shops at Don Mills.

Well we don't have a transit line in Markham to begin with
Not sure what PTC is, Pacific mall? There's a go station there
If you wanna consider shops at Don Mills a mall then hey so be it. Eventually Ontario line will be right beside it but hey you can be on your high horse for as all as you want smart guy

To clarify non of those malls have lines near by if I'm not mistaken. I thought VMC was near Vaughn Mills mall tho, a station should probably be there
