Do you honestly believe, in your heart of hearts, that the only reason Line 1 is being closed is so that they can pretend that they're still doing on works on the Crosstown?
Really? No other reasons?
Please spare us your endless array of Crosstown conspiracies, they are getting quite tiresome to read.

Why should I offer those reasons? You are the one alleging that they have no legitimate need for the closure, and they're just doing it to pull the wool over our eyes, so the onus should be on you to prove it.
You can't, of course, because it's conspiratorial nonsense. If I am not fun at parties because I want to open this thread and read facts instead of your posts, so be it.

It's closed for 1 single day?! the cautious optimist in me takes that as a positive. Perhaps the project's equivalent to crossing T's and dotting I's perhaps.

Where has it been indicated that this is for Crosstown work? None of the public statements have indicated that, as opposed to the past closures which did explicitly say it.

Yes, the TTC announcement says:
Saturday, January 18, 2025, subway service on Line 1 will be replaced with shuttle buses between St Clair and York Mills stations for planned track work. Shuttle buses will operate. Regular subway service will resume on Sunday, January 19, 2025, at 8 a.m.
Possibly to do with fixing this RSZ?

I've never believed that Ford was delaying Eglinton or Finch for the election, as I simply don't think either will have much of an impact on the majority of voters in the province (or even the GTA for that matter).
Doug Ford gives clearest hint yet of early Ontario election, points finger at Trump, tariffs | Globalnews.ca
Ford said if tariffs hit Canadian goods, it could mean the provincial government needs to spend billions to stimulate the economy.globalnews.ca
FWIW in the past its been rumoured that Ford wouldn't call an election until an Eglinton opening date had been announced, now of course that was prior to the talk around tariffs having ramped up.
It seems less likely with each passing week that Verster's comment of an early Q1/25 announcement is going to come to fruition.
Although I know that seems to be the consensus on this site.

The news release says "This Sat., Jan. 18 only, there will be no subway service on the portion of Line 1 Yonge-University between York Mills and St Clair stations to accommodate Metrolinx work on the Eglinton Crosstown LRT."

Chowing putting the blame on Ford / Metrolinx. States TTC and the City are ready to go with the opening and training has completed for all the operators and staff.
Well this is a jaw dropping moment. Wonder what the hold up is if training is done.

Not very jaw dropping if you've been following comments in this thread... It has been hinted in many previous messages that training would be done at the beginning of 25, yet some station work (especially one in particular) is not complete...for example:Chowing putting the blame on Ford / Metrolinx.

Not a fan of Ford but a lot of the blame of the Crosstown can be put on the previous administration as well. The contracts they signed with the P3 were absurd.

Rumor has it that the tracks are too wide?
