@Northern Light apologies for the public tag but I appear unable to DM you.
Any update on the RSD timeline? still think Verster and your sources early 2025 timeline is correct?
Selfishly my wife and I have an ongoing debate on if we need a second car before our child arrives, a functioning Eg LRT would alleviate that need. TYIA

No worries. However, you should be able to send me a message, my setting is that members can message.
I haven't got any new info...........with Michael Lindsay now installed at Mx, they are more tight lipped than ever over there.
I have some people I can reach out to..........but in the pre-election mode there.......info is likely to be sparing.
I have no reason to believe the in-service date will be anything other than Q2 of this year. But nothing is certain til after it has happened!
I can't give you certainty on that.
What I might suggest is that car-sharing might be an alternative worth looking into. For a modest monthly sum, less than you'd spend on car insurance in all likelihood, you get access to a second car as-needed, rather than carrying the cost of a second car all the time.
Communauto has a big flex zone, which a lot of people like; but Zipcar and Enterprise are also options.

TTC Chair Jamaal Myers has indicated that June 1, 2025, is the "earliest possible date" for the opening of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT.
You and your wife should probably get a 2nd car. The 2025 Golf R is perfect for young families, hawc recommends that. It should be in the VW.ca configurator soon.

Buying brand new, especially for a second car, is always financially irresponsible.

I wouldn't do it in the short-term - but it does avoid all the BS with the used-car dealers, and weirdness of going through the newspaper (perhaps there's some newer-fangled way of doing it this century). But I normally keep the car for a decade or so - so the immediate value loss isn't a big deal.
