Perhaps but they were delayed a year because the elevators didn't work. That had little to do with New York.

I'm not sure about that. Seems typical to me that NY, practically the home of "not invented here syndrome", when using an elevator design that is used in many locations elsewhere in the world, took a year just to get it working.

Speaking of that extension that just opened in NYC - one of the escalators stopped working 5.5 hours later

And the elevators were not working on opening day.

Clearly not a world-class city ...

We're still waiting for the installation of this cast steel node at the bus station entrance...

Does anyone know why trains move so slowly between Wilson and Downsview? Is it related to TYSSE and the Wilson expansion?

 

[innsertnamehere]

Its just approaching the terminus from my understanding. Kennedy can be painfully slow to approach some days as well.

Trains travel really slow approaching Kipling too. Sometimes the line can reach Islington. I'm kind of dreading the move of MiWay buses to Kipling. I fear my commute will be longer due the approach to Kipling.

Same problems at Finch and Kennedy.

Which make me scratch my head wondering how they think they are going to run more trains.

At least Downsview problems will be pushed to Vaughan in a couple of years.

 

[innsertnamehere]

Finch will be the issue, Vaughan will be fine as the turn backs will be split between two locations as not all trains will run to Vaughan.

Isn't that only during AM peak? Turn backs are already similarly split for Downsview, and yet you see backups there.

dont all trains go to downsview at rush hours?

Not during the morning rush.

Half the trains short-turn at St. Clair West in AM peak.

I wish that the TTC had used tail-tracks behind the stations, to switch directions. Like in Montreal, maybe. Trains enter on one side, exit the station into a tail-track, switch ends, and then move into the opposite side of the station for the return trip. The problem would be having to wait on the platform instead on a waiting train.
