It will be a little faster. LRVs can accelerate faster than our slow subway trains.about the same speed as the subways go between the longer stretches I think.

Just got a chance to read the presentation for the update tomorrow. I dont quite understand their tunneling scheduling. Why is it going to take until Feb to finish the last 500m of the western tunnel when it took the same time to bore through 3X the distance? Same for the east. Feb 2018 just to tunnel 1.5km???!! The logic doesnt seem right.....
Huh? There are at most 30 metres left to bore for the west tunnels, and around 1.5 km for the east tunnels, so I'm not sure where the 500 figure comes from. As to why it could take until February? Could be the demolition of the abandoned bus terminal and the digging of an extraction shaft. I don't think either of those two tasks have started yet.
They may have started, I haven't walked by for a few weeks. I may just go up to the top of the Yonge and Eg retail addition to snap some photos in the morningWait....they havnt started demoing yet? They announced themselves that demoing was supposed to have started last month

The drive from Allen to Duplex has gone extremely well, with no major unplanned stoppages. It shouldn't be a concern if it takes time to complete the extraction. Overall, they are likely well within schedule.
You can be sure that the schedule is very conservative, partly so there is very low probability of any bad news, and partly so the contractor has every opportunity to declare an on-time completion and avoid penalties.
Being early is a good problem to have.
