Yes - but few of the NDP identify as socialists.

is that as dark as I think it is?

Why does this look like Glencairn is on Line 5? I can see they are struggling with the spacing. Almost like a fully digital option would have been the way to go for these, instead of the Litebrite approach.

After seeing a post yesterday of all the unfinished pieces on Line 6's opening day, it doesn't give me great confidence in Eglinton. Many are cosmetic pieces, but a couple made me wince.

Makes me wonder if these deficiencies are the reason why speeds are limited on the entirety of the rail.
If thats the case, I would have been fine with waiting a little while longer before launching things.

And yet, as an Eglinton resident I still envy the people who have it to ride. A lot can be forgiven once a usable transit line is actually delivered.

Is there any indication from the Finch LRT opening day that Crosstown will be slower than projected in the underground sections, i.e. factors other than transit priority signal?

Things like this is Toronto, and the TTC is operating it?

Premier says Eglinton Crosstown won't open before new year: Premier Doug Ford said there's a possibility that the Eglinton Crosstown LRT could finally open in 2026 or "very soon after."

"very soon after" 2026? As in, 2027?
It is what the article says, but I wonder if he really said it. Since the article went to the trouble to put quotes around the last 3 words, I'm guessing he did. Either way, I'm sure that's not what he meant.Bojaxs

I find it amusing that NOW this forum wants to discuss the speed of these LRTs. For years, myself and other posters have been warning you guys that these lines will be slow.
Make no mistake about it. Line 6 is a preview of what to expect on Line 5.
How can the TTC travel trains at a faster pace in the underground portion, while running trains at a slower pace at the at-grade portion and not result in bunching of trains or extended delays at stations?
Especially if there's no TSP, and the at-grade trains are constantly stopped at red lights while underground trains are flying through the tunnels.

How did an argument on the Finch Line thread spill over to here?

I think he means shortly after the new year. He isn't the best speaker."very soon after" 2026? As in, 2027?
