Oh yeah, all the grass seems dead now. Dried yellow all over the place. Did their sprinkler system fail already or someone didn't pay the water bills?

They have a truck drive beside the rails, with a tank of water, and high pressure hose. I've seen it do a lovely job of watering passing cars.

In-ground sprinkler systems need lots of ongoing maintenance in order to keep operating. It wouldn't surprise me to find out that there had been nothing of the sort done to it.

Probably since ttc/ml have zero experience in this type of feature. Bet they assumed it was a set it and forget it thing.

At least it now can look like recently harvest wheat fields.....

Theyre paving the "temporary" loop at the don valley bus terminal this morning.

Work (? preventative maintenance) on the escalator in the main entrance building at Laird. FWIW.

I walked by it this morning. Looks like the work is finished.

Lots of trains on the line today. Saw quite a few going eastbound.

Probably worn out, needs to be replaced.
Just kidding, of course, but I do wonder about the flat screen TVs/monitors that have been mounted all over the open street stations, turned on, for 5 years, through winter storms and heat waves. What is their life expectancy under outdoor conditions?

Line 5 "ghost service" revenue testing is starting July 20th.

Any one here can verify this?

 

[TOtramz]

Perhaps if some users here see uninterrupted service for at least a full week, we can probably conclude that trial running has truly started

Of course have insider knowledge also helps

Saw at least 5 different lrts between Warden and Kennedy today.

I rode the 34 to Don valley and there definitely are trains running all along the line today. I guess they are indeed ramping up the 2wk revenue service demo imminently if not started today

Yeah it's actually stupid that the train stops on the yellow transit signal while the line stays green for a little longer.
I don't understand the logic behind that.
