The street is name Boulevard Pie IX after all. Just rename one of the streets to Leo XIV and get a station with that name. Although everyone will question why.you can hide it by switching languages like Pie IX and Torontonians would never know they had a papal station

Out of curiosity, whats the difference between operator training and replicating service?
Because the trains I've seen going along the line look a lot like replicating service..... They've been opening the doors, holding for a bit and then closing them and moving on, the time between trains is less than 10 minutes (it seems). There is usually only one or two staff in the train now vs when they started and it was like 4 or 5 staff. The timers on the platforms seem to be working properly, and they seem to be working on cleaning all the glass on the outdoor stations as well.
Anyone else noticed this stuff as well?

In a perfect world, graduation day would imply a replicated service - but the replication is needed to see if everything works once training has concluded.
The training activity may look as intensive as regular service, but may have things left out or built in - headways may be similar but schedules may assume more pauses to give time to coach, debrief, etc - and may overlook or respond to disruptions, unforeseens, etc in a less complete manner.
For instance, suppose an auto makes a bad turn and blocks the tracks. Training response may simply be, wait until the disruption is cleared and then carry on. In replicated service, the task is for the control center to get everything back on track - clearing first responders, restoring headways, addressing bunching, managing turnbacks, etc.
During training, all that is being assessed is each operator's individual performance at their individual task or job. During replicated service, the entire system is being challenged and assessed.
A lot of unforeseens will likely turn up during training, and hopefully get solved before the replication. But only when you try to run the whole thing as a system, measuring against the end performance standard, do you know if you have your bases covered.
That end performance standard is not simply, can we run the system successfully for a single shift or day. It's can we run the system for days on end and keep everything rolling. Customers won't be happy if the system only runs right 27 days in a month.

I guess there would be no real way to know when simulated service has begun vs intensive training......
Assuming that you always observe the line at the same time of day

Perhaps one of the members of this thread could observe the line for each day of the week and report back if they ever saw a stoppage of trams?
What was the longest period of continuous testing up to this point (in terms of days or weeks)?

Not to piss on everyone's parade, but Ford clearly doesn't definitively confirm it'll open in sept.
I therefore choose to temper my expectations, tho if it does open in Sept. It'll confirm my expectation that the public annoucment meant to happen 3 months ahead of its opening is and was total BS (shocker i know).
I also, now wonder wth is holding up finch LRT, because from what we know, the hangup there is not technical and testing appears to be full steam ahead
