like honestly.... they already determined an operator was daydreaming behind the wheel in the yard. this does not affect the main line. why are they not resuming RSD and if they still need to to verification testing why are they not running 24/7 to catch back up given the political and schedule impacts?
total fail again on all fronts.

maybe they need to make sure the operators are not daydreaming behind the wheel on the main line...
 
I find it very hard to believe that the ministry of transport would so publicly state that the RSD was back on all those days ago and have it be a total lie.
Also around the same time they announced RSD was back many posters on this forum seemed to corroborate with sightings of heavy train testing :confused:

For what it's worth I drove by at night this last weekend for over 10 minutes and saw exactly 0 trains on the surface section despite next train screens reading 6 and 16 minutes.

Can confirm the trains are running today and have been running everyday since Oct 25 (the date users here started spotting the trains again after the pause) - I'm on Eglinton often so I'm able to see them multiple times a day

When did they determine this? Do you have a source?

Source is The Star's article from Thursday, October 23

"Sarkaria, asked by reporters about the details of the incident, said the “minor incident happened between ... two trains in the maintenance yard, caused by human error.” He did not clarify further when asked by reporters.

“This is a very isolated incident and happened in the maintenance yard. It was not on the main line in any way, shape or form,” Sarkaria said, emphasizing that the incident could not happen on the main line, where trains would be ferrying passengers when the LRT opens."

Wait, RSD hasn't been resumed yet? Based on the posts here (page 1894), I thought it resumed back on Saturday, October 25. I've been seeing a bunch of trains run back and forth today as well - none of this is RSD? :(

If RSD is still paused, then I assume an opening by the Dec 21 board period is hopeless then

Based on the previous activity I saw, it seemed to me to have resumed at the date I reported previously, but as of yesterday, there were few trains (and only 1 I saw westbound), they were stopped or moving slowly, the signs were not synched up with anything on the tracks/trains seemingly. Not sure how long the situation I saw yesterday has been the case.

That is... bizarre. Isn't the yard supposed to be under full automatic operation?

While they haven't done any testing for the purposes of the RSD as it is not going to be part of the revenue service plan on day 1, they have operated and tested into the spare tracks at Laird many times and under many scenarios. The maneuver is sound.


They are still not able to build up to the amount of service that they need to in order to resume the RSD.

And why have they not been able to build up to the amount of service needed to resume the RSD?

The yard is full automatic operation. Obviously some of the switch configuration got messed up in the yard and it created an edge case where queuing up just the right sequence of routes resulted in the incident.

Right. But then what is the human error? Unless he's referring to someone messing up the switch configuration, which, while I guess not technically incorrect, does feel like it's rather misrepresenting the truth...
