Would you prefer the shade of green we all now hate?

Yes, or orange to reflect the color of this line. But whatever, it doesn't matter what color the LRVs are to the average rider.

I mean, while the color shouldn’t matter - quite honestly I’m annoyed that it’s grey because so much of Toronto is grey, and this just reinforces the sense that the city doesn’t give a s**t about how it looks.

Good thing most people don't enter a Subway restaurant or a Metro grocery store expecting an entrance to a subway station.

I wou;dn't be surprised if the wayfinding expert that metrolinx though so. In an interview on a youtube channel, he talked about how people have shown up at bloor young station with luggege looking for the up express.

Apparently this used to be a problem with Royal York station. People would end up there looking for the Royal York Hotel.

I can kind of understand that one a little bit though, however, most people nowadays look things up a lot more than they used to and even use their smartphones for directions in foreign cities.

I agree that there should not be two different Bloor stations, or Mount Pleasant stations for that matter. I can see tourists going with luggage to the nearest Bloor station to catch UP only to figure out it is a different Bloor station. We should be a little more creative with station names. If London had Highway A501 station that would definitely not be an improvement.

TTC livery should've been used.

Neon Yellow would have been a better color. Would have stood out better.

Eglinton station should have been renamed Eglinton-Yonge. This would also minimize confusion with Eglinton GO station in Scarborough.

Or Bellamy or a neighborhood name.

I thought I saw somewhere where they might rename Eglinton GO to Bellamy.

Exactly Metrolinx should have renamed the go/ UPX station to something else.

Metrolinx thought differently and wanted them to be grey because the subway trains are "grey" or metal and because they wanted people to think of it like the subway they made it grey.

I have taken many photos of Cedarvale station on May 23, 2021 that I'm splitting my post into four parts (West Median, Northwest Corner, Main Entrance Plaza, and View from Aldburn Road), which would be posted each day. Note that I have posted photos of East Median and East Entrance last week. Please bear with me.

Part 1 of 4: West Median

Trains are finally rolling through the Eglinton Crosstown's Eastern section! Super excited to finally see the vehicles in person, enjoy this quick discussion!
