I’m curious….when those enormous excavations are backfilled after pouring the station structure, are all the timber and steel shoring elements removed, or are they just buried and left behind ?

Asking for a non-engineer friend.

Update on whether or not the TRs will have the in train maps updated with LEDs after the ECLRT opens:

So I guess this would hold true for Line 6 too.

Is BBD, I mean Alstom charging an arm and a leg for these upgrades?

What's the point in updating them? It's not like the TR's will ever run on them.

And yes, the updates would be a waste of money.

Agreed,
There's no point in doing stuff that won't serve any purpose. Hopefully they will use led monitor screens with graphics for future proofing

I presume Alstom won't be involved as they're only changing the printed overlay.

I'd presume (hope) that the TTC is capable of printing maps without assistance from the manufacturer.

QOL thing. TRs will never run on Line 3, however if you ride a TR on Line 2, the LEDs for Line 3 will light up at Kennedy indicated that the stations are available at the transfer point. Same thing with Line 5, passing by Eglinton, Cedarvale, or Kennedy would light up all Line 5 stations indicating which are available to reach if you transfer at this station. Is it the most necessary feature? Probably not, but since its a pretty nifty QOL addition that was introduced with the TRs, it would be a shame to see it effectively neutered.

 

[TheTigerMaster]

I really hope that easy and inexpensive expandability was built into the spec of these LED map boards. This really should not be an expensive undertaking.

 

[Amare]

^In that case sure to let the TTC know how they can find the cheapest way to go about upgrading the boards. Since it's simple, easy and cheap apparently.
