1. There is no official date announced.
2. Even if one were, official dates are repeatedly withdrawn.
3. Two rumoured dates have been reported, both in December.
Therefore, November is impossible, December has a good chance, next year is also entirely plausible.
And by the way, if they are pushing to get Finch opened before Eglinton, I think Eglinton in December is close to impossible.
I'm always happy to be proved wrong!

Agreed, Eglinton is moreso a spring opening post all the snow at this point, Metrolinx won't risk the line opening in peak winter period

Finch West LRT could open Dec. 7, sources say

Ontario government officials say the Line 6 Finch West LRT will be fully transferred to the TTC by Nov. 3.

So basically, don't expect Eglinton to open this year.

So why they say December 7th rather than being on a November board period?

Seems like TTC isn’t ready.

Could those sources and date change?

Word from TTC Repersentives at QQE LRT public meeting tonight stated service will start December 15 which is a Monday. Since the 7th is on a Sunday when board changes take place and no idea when December Board charges is has legs to open then.

Then there maybe a small soft openimg on the 13th or the 14th to allow for ribbon cutting.

Regardless which date is right, the line will open before Line 5 as some have stated the past year or so. Metrolinx may pull a rabbit out of the hat that will beat Finch opening in November.

Okay then. Thankfully not December 7th since I will be in Montreal around that time checking out the new REM extension!

I am going by what TTC staff said and it will not be the first time they been wrong. It could be the 7th. I was planning on doing th REM but other comments the next day kill that idea.

Have never meet these TTC staff members before and they keep changing from one meeting to another the last few years.
