This is not quite what has happened on Finch West.
There were issues with the project between Metrolinx and Mosaic which resulted in Mosaic delaying the handover of certain components of the project to Metrolinx. Those delays directly impacted the TTC, as they were not allowed to occupy the premises and thus it delayed the start their own training and setup.
Those issues have since been resolved, and the TTC is now training operators on the line. They've already trained other staff there.
While from an operations standpoint Finch West and the Crosstown are considered one division and so operators can sign work on either line, the differences between the two lines are substantial enough that the training course for operators is different between the two. The third set of classes was planned at one point to only be trained on Finch West, although I don't know if that is still the case. In any case, operators from the first two sets of classes will be allowed to go through a shorter course to allow them to become certified on Finch West at some point in the future.

What you did was regurgitate and rehash information that has been posted to this thread at least half a dozen times. On this thread, we knew about the water leaks at Eglinton Station (Yonge and Eglinton) well over a year ago, water table, rusted out due to water, station box sinking etc... What you said was not a meaningful contribution at all to anyone who didn't join this thread yesterday. Noone is trying to suppress your free speech, but your information is most obviously not new (which you did not even acknowledge) and therefore not useful. "My grandma's 5th cousin who knows a guy told me through the grapevine that SNC Lavalin / Atkins Realis was throwing stripper parties Gaddafi's son-style in Eglinton LRT station. Too much champagne was spilled so the tracks got rusted out and the overhead and communications wiring shorted out so it all had to be redone."

You've obviously been on this forum and thread long enough to know the history but it was my post that pushed you over the line to create an account and start posting hate.
I have my first internet hater, I've finally made it on the internet.

The union's literal job is to represent their members. That doesn't rule out supporting the interest of their employer - where it makes sense for them to do so. For example:
Four major Toronto unions support Porter Airlines growth plan

No, but implying that the TTC is nefariously "leveraging" the support rather than both sides have the same interest in this case seems specifically biased.The union's literal job is to represent their members.

I don't know about stripper parties, but Atkins Realis paid millions of dollars to Gaddafi - much it related to the apartment in Toronto.
There was the $half-million SNC-Lavalin and Ben Aissa spent on the party with rapper 50 Cent in 2009. Perhaps that involved strippers and prostitutes?
There's a reason that any engineer with a shred of morality would never work for Atkins. Why Trudeau was so keen to protect them I don't know.

This. The controls are substantially different in the cabs between the Citadis and the Flexity, operators transfering from the streetcar network or even the subways will have an easier time transitioning to Line 5 than Line 6 as the Flexities have a control scheme that is almost identical to the new streetcars (with the exception of the signalling interface), and this is before we even go into the difference in signalling systems between the two lines

Ask any SNC Lavalin alumuni from that era, they literally paid for Gaddafi's son to sleep with ___workers in the SNC office. Gaddafi's son was given a "job" at SNC in Montreal, for which he was paid a "salary".I don't know about stripper parties, but Atkins Realis paid millions of dollars to Gaddafi - much it related to the apartment in Toronto.

Why do I see OIQ and PEO investigating people for not using their middle name (well OIQ) but I've never seen anything published in the (PEO) blue pages about such completely unprofessional behaviour at Sexalis Atkins?

Clean-up happening at O'Connor's station this morning. Not sure if something else, too. (sorry couldn't find specific stop thread):
