They were able to pull the schedule ahead quite a bit by moving the station piling scope to WEC (the ATC1 contractor), where it was previously part of SRS, which is why it's happening now even though TRP just signed their contract for SRS. I would still be VERY skeptical of the timeline produced here. Keep in mind that TRP has just started work and what is one of the first things a contractor needs to produce on a project? (hint: a schedule) Also keep in mind how long the testing and commissioning phase has taken for ECLRT and even FWLRT.

hopefully they learned alot from the line 5 and 6 commissioning bullshit to be able to streamline the process much faster.
 
One would hope; however, consider the provided timeline has WEC finishing their works on the stations in 2028, which is when Trillium would then be able to start their construction works. They've gotta build the stations, run all the rail, electrical systems, etc across the entire line and then the dreaded testing and commissioning. At least this isn't a new line so there may be some time savings there, but an opening date 2 years after they start work is very unlikely. I would cautiously give an entire year to testing and comissioning and 2-3 years for construction.
 
Decided to head into Scarborough running errands today and drove the whole length of the line from west to east and back.

Must be something wrong in the tunnel because there was an eastbound train sitting on the Black creek Dr guideway and a westbound train sitting at Sunnybrook Park station.

Both trains were still there when I came back along eglinton 3 hrs later.

There were two different issues yesterday during the day - one was a mechanical issue with a train, and one was a smoke alarm that went off - a false positive. In between them and after, they ran a pretty intensive service.

By the time I went by at 8pm, things were running smoothly again.
