Given that the stations contract was signed this year but it may be several years away until they can seriously start to construct the stations, might this have any potential ramifications?

Without having all of the facts, I doubt it.


This line is not going to be ready for another 5 - 7 years. If 3 stations can't be built in this time then what the hell are we doing lol

The difference to the tunnel contract (which is a fixed price), is that the station contract is a cost + fee contract. Now, if you google what this means, you will wonder...

While that may be the case with the line 5/6 vehicles (?), I assume it won't be with the new line 2 trains (including the add-on batch intended for the SSE)?

Nothing to say that Metrolinx - or Joe Fresh - could start buying their own trains, and letting the TTC own and maintain them.

But I think it's clear from the RFP that TTC intends to puchase the optional vehicles themselves.

By assets I meant the stations, tunnels, and associated infrastructure. The new trains are being bought by TTC with Metrolinx only being responsible for funding a portion of the order that goes towards serving the new extension.

An ownership question I do wonder about is the train storage facilities being built. For YNSE MX will have it built within the contract at 16th Ave. TTC will operate it, but who will own it. Does it even really matter?

I understand, but wanted to extend the question to vehicles.

So if ML is funding the extra 25, would that give them ownership of those 25, with TTC being the operator rather than the owner?

Also a good question, and if the new yard(s) is ML-owned then perhaps the new fleet could be split such that the ML-funded batch is allocated to the ML-owned yards while the main batch is allocated to existing TTC-owned yards.
 
I emailed the comms team about washrooms at stations and this was their response
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to the Scarborough Subway Extension (SSE) Community Engagement team.

In regard to your inquiry, public washrooms have been integrated into the project from the outset and are being provided at terminus and interchange stations. This provision exceeds the requirements of the Ontario Building Code, which requires washrooms at terminus stations only.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

I love how they are being so vague 🥹
What I can gather from this is that sheppard-mccowan will have washrooms, kennedy already has washrooms and scarborough ctr/lawrence won't have washrooms
