If RSD is supposed to simulate the real thing, why wouldn't the fire department treat it as any other incident and post an alert for it?

On the other hand, has there been any official confirmation that RSD started last week?
If toronto sun is to be believed....

As of thurs, no.

Furthermore, I think we have enough insiders who would post the notice or at least mention RSD has officially begin (similar to what happened with finch).

Imo the silence is telling
 
I would simply take that incident as an indication that the station’s fire alarm system is commissioned and in service (as it should be, by now) , and like fire alarm systems everywhere, there are sometimes false activations.
This is just life imitating an RSD.

For what it's worth, they were stopping at Lebovic earlier.

They had announcements on the platform telling people the car wasn't in service and not to board.

I do believe they were testing.
 
Yeah, the announcements are neither new nor consistent. Had a few pass me last week when I was close enough to a station that I should have heard something, but nothing. And I was hearing them regularly for the last few months. So who knows 🤷‍♀️

More up on my site
Finally made it to the east end to look at the testing of the LRVs and no clue what schedule they were running at but not as bad as Finch, I notice the stations screens were saying 5 and 6 minutes as I move on going east

A few cars sat as much as 3 minutes at the station going east.

The design of the lower concourse level is symmetrical. There's closed off walkway entrance in the same place on the Southbound Line 1 platform as on the Northbound Line 1 platform.

Thanks, not sure why I have not noticed it! Maybe it's more boarded off than the northbound side. Also they are doing the escalators on that soutbound side so there is a bit more construction chaos.
 
I don't find the arrival displays to be accurate, I've seen the numbers not change for minutes on end, display 40 minutes until the next train, etc. Definitely not programed to the schedule but also not usually correct if it's live tracking
I don't think they have been flipped over to live tracking yet. I think they are still working off a test data set.

The displays at the above ground stops appeared reasonably accurate when I drove by on the last Saturday in September. I could also hear platform destination announcements.

Exactly as we would expect based on the displays anywhere else throughout the TTC system.

Literally - I have started timing the next train signs out of boredom. The TTC clearly has bigger issues with train spacing than these signs would make you believe. 4 mins regularly becomes 6 mins, 6 mins 8-10, etc.

What’s particularly aggravating is that it is (at least for me) a consistent underestimation of the wait times…. But maybe that’s just my luck.

Has it always been like this? I always thought wait times would get more accurate with ATC on line 1.

Hoping line 5 is much better but I am curious about those at grade stops…

Nvm not really line 5 related, sorry all.
