Correction. Seems the 179 CASTLEFIELD could be the 164 CASTLEFIELD. Along with the following changes...

It is 164. All the bus stops went up saying so.

there were a number of trains heading towards kennedy this morning. also crews were at the stations cleaning the windows again. Not sure if this is indicative of the RD but at least its better than seeing nothing...

it is not now a policy of the TTC to operate buses solely on the offchance an elevator is down.

To understand how seriously the TTC actually takes accessibility, here's an example of how the TTC thinks someone in a wheelchair in the concourse at Dufferin Station should get to ground level if the single elevator is not working.

Take the elevator to Line 2 Kipling (Westbound). Board a train to Dundas West Station. Transfer to 505 Dundas to Dufferin Street. Transfer to 29 Dufferin or 929 Dufferin Express to Dufferin Station.

Or if you're at St. George street level and want to go east or west, but the elevator is out?

Board a 26 Dupont bus to Bathurst Street. Transfer to a 7 Bathurst bus southbound to Bathurst Station to access Line 2 Subway.

Never mind that the 26 bus leaves St. George every thirty minutes through most of the day.

Isn't the 26 leaving St George without scheduled buses as part of the Service Plan review? Will be interesting to see how they expect people to manage then.

I guess their plan will be to wheel your wheelchair down to the new elevator at Museum.

I haven't seen any trains in a while, anyone know what's going on

I suspect that we will learn more about testing progress at the TTC board meeting on the 17th, now that the line is under the full control of the TTC.

Also I have been told that the current pause in trains is not related to the handover of control to the TTC.

Uhh.... there were several trains running the last 2 days. Not at peak frequency but they were running

I saw a few out yesterday

Apparently the opening has been delayed to 2026 now, hence no updates and slowdown of testing / training. Here goes another wasted year.

Is there a source you got that info from?

Do you have any sources to support this being delayed to 2026? From what I know is with those testing and training schedules, it can still open at least this year most likely November.

 

[Toronto Rocks]

What is the reason for the TTC's delay?

 

[rdaner]

This is beyond absurd! The delay can only be explained by it benefiting someone. I’m close to filming myself breaking in and waiting for a train!
