Lol would be nice if they told us for a change. Almost missed my bus... Wait don't we have seasonal changes every year in Canada?

They've initiated the poor weather mode on the ATC/ATO, which limits top speeds and lowers braking forces on the open-cut sections of the line.

Leaf build-up on the ROW is the reason.

Saw these surveying cameras mounted in osgood station south bound platform any idea what they're for? they seem to be swiveling and tracking the subway as it was pulling in.

Sounds like laser reflectometers b to measure changes to the tunnel - given Ontario Line construction?

Just in case it wasn't already reported here (attempted with the Search function), the TTC closed their Customer Service Centre Office closed on Friday.

Can someone explain what is the deal with Line 2 trains slowing to a crawl midway between each station and then crawling into each station? I mean how the heck is anybody supposed to get around when service is this unreliable?

This should never be something we all have to wonder about. Just make it permanent, and even expand it.
