Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

That's for all stations though. Can they program the system so that a door doesn't open at just one station? Or do they just close that door on all trains?

Depends if they want to spend the money on programming for the possibility, or not.

Probably wouldn't be considered a worthwhile negative, but the rail fan in my loves the sight/sound & whoosh of air when a train flies into a station at top speed and comes to a stop in a matter of seconds.

Agreed, and I think they look awful.

Is the new Mount Dennis GO Station opening up at the same time as the Crosstown, and will the UPX also serve the station immediately after opening?

Nice timelapse onboard video of the completed tunnel section!

@turini2 Thanks for posting! I didn’t realize how substantial the tunneled section was until today.

Wow, thats pretty impressive.

Those switchover spaces before Laird and Avenue stations are a lot bigger and more spacious then I thought they would be.

What will be the top speed of the LRV? 45/KM/H or so?

Because construction is still going on, they have to go slow. Design speed is 80 km/h underground, but that will be when it opens.

Awesome!

Anyone know estimated travel time from end-to-end when it opens?

 

[evandyk]

Depends how many cars have to make a left turn in front of your streetcar.

 

[Richard White]

Awesome!

If it is anything like the 501.. likely an hour to an hour and a half end to end.

Tunneled section: 10 minutes. At-grade section: 4 hours.

Can't they just implement left hand turns after Green lights instead of before, they do that on other lines if I'm not mistaken and would be a great improvement.
