The Eglinton transit signals turn red 10 seconds before everything else. It probably shouldn't take a whole 10 seconds to clear an intersection, the TTC also blocks intersections with streetcars quite often

Anybody knows what ML/TTC plan to do with the dead grass between the tracks all along Eglinton east of Leslie? Not a reason for more delays, we all hope.

Guess the 75 litres of AC water congestion per light rail car per day is not enough to water the grass because of the heat. Wasted output in the tunnels as well.

Apparently there were frequent trains last week but over the weekend the frequency dropped tremendously, which is a bit disappointing.
If we don't see constant trains starting today and over this week, I'm starting to believe the July 20th date is actually when they intend to start simulation....
Do you guys think my assessment is correct?

At this rate any speculation is lost cause. I think im already in the 5th stage of grief....

simulation as in revenue service demonstration? sorry I haven't kept up with the all the distinct stages that TTC graphic they posted on their last update.

Earlier somebody shared a speculative July 20th date from a reddit user, claiming that ghost service (unsure if it means RSD or simply 14 day trial) would begin on that date.

Ghost service? Sounds like a bus route through a cemetery.

Would be an asinine project but the engineer in me would love ac water holding tanks on the Flexities that activate from the PTC control in the tunnels turning on and then slowly release the extra AC water over the grass when the PTC is disconnected.
Way more complicated and expensive than just having a truck come and water the grass, but I love over engineered things haha.
Also I think the AC units are on the top, many modern AC systems have a way of dispersing the water thats created into the air like a mist. They dont drip like the old ones.

They say you learn something new every day. I just learned 2.

That's for stationary AC units for large structures.
Vehicle-based ones still drip water.

As far as I know there hasn't been much train testing on the line for a while now...
Does anybody have insight as to what stage we're at (still Testing and Commissioning) and what is causing the delay to starting simulated service?
