Someone had better change whoever put up this bus stop at the southwest corner of Eglinton Avenue West & Weston Road, then. Image taken TODAY, on June 29, 2025.

Shows the 27 JANE SOUTH, 32 EGLINTON WEST, 35 JANE, 73 ROYAL YORK (73B ROYAL YORK via La Rose & Emmett), 935 JANE EXPRESS, and 334 EGLINTON NIGHT. That's why we need to see the "official", up-to-date bus route changes.

They still have 332 on the new poles east of Mount Dennis.

According to a 2022 report ( https://cdn.ttc.ca/-/media/Project/TTC/DevProto/Documents/Home/About-the-TTC/5_year_plan_10_year_outlook/2023/2022-ASP/TTC-2022-ASP-Line-5-Bus-Surface-Network-Plan-Route-Descriptions_Final_Oct-4-2021_Accessible.pdf?rev=d5eaf53a50464929beacbb025380ed12&hash=CAC0C18F970676A75B9935599906AD92 )

334 Eglinton Blue Night
This will be a new route replacing the current 332 Eglinton West and 334 Eglinton East Blue Night routes. Two branches will operate on this route: 334A from Pearson Airport to Kennedy Station via Eglinton, and 334B from Mount Dennis Station to Finch and Neilson via Kingston Road and Morningside. This route will be the primary option for customers during the overnight period along the Eglinton corridor. Existing customers travelling through Yonge Street today will no longer be required to transfer between 332 and 334, unless travelling beyond Mt Dennis and Kennedy Stations.

Thanks why we need to wait for the final, final, final route report. They may have changed the bus numbers... again.

The signage department doesn’t communicate with the service planning department. The 334 is not running between the airport to Mount Dennis and east is Yonge while all the poles between Mount Dennis to Yonge are signed 332. It just makes no sense.

I haven’t seen the 901 anywhere. Who knows of that’s still on the plan.

A big detour I'm aware of are the buses using Mt. Dennis StationView attachment 662317
A 89 WESTON or 989 WESTON EXPRESS bus has to go along Eglinton Avenue West, Keelesdale Road, Photography Drive before getting to its northbound or southbound bus bay, and then returning. Not so good for passengers who do not want to transfer to Line 5. So we can expect people getting off at a corner at Eglinton & Weston to walk across the intersection to get on another bus to continue their trip. I can expect to see them getting on the same bus to continue their trip because of a poor headway between buses on the same route.

Ditto for the 935 JANE EXPRESS or 35 JANE/27 JANE SOUTH bus.

The 989 will be using Black Creek Dr to left on Eglinton, Left at Keelesdale using the new bus-only left turn signal along with the 161 and 168. The 935 service to Mount Dennis could be a branch eg. 935B Mount Dennis Station to Pioneer Village Station with the 935A branch not serving Mount Dennis Station.

The 935 with a 10-12 min headway would not benefit with two branches like that. Each branch would run 20-24 min making it pointless to wait for the other way.

hmm.... Oh! it's probably just a long-term temporary thing until Jane-Eglinton opens on the Line 5 extension which at that point it would be serving Jane-Eglinton station instead.

Today is June 30, 2025.

In THREE months, it will be September 30, 2025.

Waiting and watching the Metrolinx and TTC chimneys for white smoke (AKA official opening announcement).

So much with opening in September I guess.

 

[TOtramz]

Anybody with insider info on when we could expect to see trial running? Has there been any progress since Testing and Commissiong phase?

I feel like we had a lot of enthusiasm for the opening a few weeks ago but that has now vanished.

Well we.can see trains running now, just without passengers... I mean, at the end of the day, it's the TTC.

ML has send the contractor to clean up the platforms, replace protective films on the glass shelters and install new maps. They can't run trains with all these mess they are doing on the platforms.

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.

Nice have to drive through that area soon! I'm really due for a carwash!

 

[cplchanb]

Theres actually a train on the line this morning!! Have our prayers and voodoo sacrifices been answered?!

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.
