How do you pronounce Yonge-Bloor?

This could have been avoided had Metrolinx just followed their own damn guidelines and just stuck with the already established Eglinton West name. Metrolinx really is the fruitcake of transit agencies. It's the gift that keeps on giving but nobody wants it.
As an aside if we wanted to go back the the hyphenated names why not just use the original "Eglinton-Allen" which was the proposed name back during the Eglinton West Subway era. Also why don't we just rename Eglinton Station to Eglinton-Yonge so that we can have consistency in the network.

I still am not a fan of the Cedarvale name. I like the hyphenated names for interchange stations personally.

same though Cedarvale doesn't bother me too much because Eglinton-Allen wouldn't be too useful a name since no other part of the system is named after allen. I am still pretty bothered by Eglinton though, as it breaks all the current conventions for naming throughout the system, which Cedarvale doesn't really do.

Well there is not other station with the "Allan" moniker because there is no other transfer point along the Allen Expressway. Had the Sheppard Line made it to Downsview then it is possible it would have been given the name Donwsview-Allen, which you be consistent with Eglinton-Allen as part of the Eglinton West subway.

Oh my gods, it's Bank-Monument confusion. (Context: In London, there's this massive station that links both Bank and Monument stations to the extent that it really should be just one name...except it's not).

Yeah, the most recent "Future TTC map" has the station as Cedarvale, and the TTC report also states "Cedarvale - which will be new name of TTC's Eglinton West station".
Just an error by Metrolinx.

If Finch is extended eastward I guess Finch West will change its name also.

I feel like they should just call it the Finch Line now. The Sheppard isn't called Sheppard East. It doesn't make sense unless they are sure they are either going to split service one day or that they are never going to extend it past Yonge, neither of which are things they can actually be sure of yet.

Its terrible naming to use wayfinding in the name. Like the Eglinton West bus, Eastbound.
"Take the Finch West Line Eastbound" adds an unnecessary level of confusion.
Just like not adding "Yonge" to "Eglinton station" on the Crosstown. They all are Eglinton station! The whole line is Eglinton. That name is meaningless in that context.
