Isn't the LRT yard a fully automated full size train set?

Depends which year.

However, this is what the testing is for. Can you imagine the furor if this happened a month after opening?

I hope they strive for far better than NASA levels of perfection. With the space shuttle, they only had a 98.5% mission survival rate - with 1.5% of the missions ending in the explosion of a space shuttle with all crew killed.

And the numbers for a successful automated Mars landing are even worse.

ill take those odds just open it

Forreal, Line 1 never runs on time even with ATO. Just compare your trip times with what the trip time is supposed to take on Transit or Google Maps. A Line 5 beset by delays is better than no Line 5.

bet they spent 5X the costs building said system than it would cost to have personnel on site for 10 years.

Makes me think of this XKCD:

Yes, but I think this is the one you were looking for.

As the earlier incident occurred during the unscored phase of testing, the timeline for RSD did not ‘restart’ to day 1 but rather resumed as unscored testing once the trains were on the line again,” a spokesperson told Global News.

“Should an issue occur during the scored phase, we would restart the specific week of scored testing but would not need to re-do the unscored portion.” The agency would not tell Global News how many days were left, but said the light rail route had now entered the scored testing phase.

20205 maybe still in play? Also no mention of that bedding in period hmmmm...

Edit: I was being sarcastic here. I know the 2025 dreams are probbaly dead. Metrolinx needs to be transparent about delays like the rem in montreal and the o train in ottawa have been recently. It serves no one other than the ford to pretend that everything is alright.

Considering that finch west finished RSD a while ago and still hasn’t opened I’m guessing no

Are they just lying straight to the reporter's face? How can they even be in the scored phase when they can't even get enough trains on the line? That's a fail and back to day 1?

Don't tell me they are doing portions of day 1 on different days like Afternoon period on Thursday and Evening period on Friday. I call BS if this is what they are doing.

I highly doubt the line will open this year. There is simply not enough time to prep the schedule within this year after the RSD finishes.

I am surprised to hear that RSD is supposedly in the scored testing phase. To have things align with what smallspy/Dan has been saying, it's possible this is how the situation has played out:

• Oct 7: RSD begins in the unscored phase
• Oct 16: Collision, pause in the unscored phase
• Oct 25: Unscored phase resumes
• Oct 26 - ?: Unscored phase ends; scored phase begins, but hasn't progressed due to the signal system issues

I do notice GlobalNews chose to write "...light rail route had now entered the scored testing phase", so completely plausible that we really are in the scored phase, just with 0 progress made in the phase so far

 

[hw621]

I am starting to speculate there are more significant issues with the line. They are just using the yard incident as an excuse to disguise them...

 

[Mr.Tang]

I was driving along Eglinton around Don Mills / Leslie last night and saw one of the trains.

That's been my suspicion for some time now.

They know something that we don't know, and they're not sure how to go about revealing it to the press/public.

Or another possibility is that Smallspy's source is wrong and RSD is still proceeding in the scored phase......

I'm not trying to point fingers but Smallspy's insights haven't always been right, like how he said RSD would begin imminently over a weekend in August

I have all the respect in the world for the guy and I think he provides great insights, but this is how I'm squaring what I see in the news to what he said.

Just a thought

Sorry to be pedantic, but, you're saying someone's information sources may be unreliable because that person made a prediction that didn't come true?
