The Line 4 Purple and Line 3 Purple aren't close enough in color that it'll be a major issue. Line 3 mirrors the RH Line, both of which are nearly the same blue. It's funny that we'll have two purple lines but I doubt it'll cause issues

That's an unrealistically short freight train.

I'm not convinced the 4 is even purple.

Wait until you hear about the two greens!

There's newish rendering for Don Valley station from Metrolinx at https://www.metrolinx.com/en/projec...io-line/what-were-building/don-valley-station

Here's my favourite. Blue line no more! @nightstreak !

Trains from Don Valley Station headed towards Don Valley. People seen waiting for it in the render. Is this the future of Toronto?

The colours look very different to me. Line 4 looks close to the Line 8 number that TTC used for the Jane LRT in a proposed map a couple of years ago.

Looking at these colours, which are darker than what I've seen elsewhere (neither 3 nor 4 look like mauve or lilac at all), I'd call number 3 purple, and number 4 is a definite maroon.
I'm sure there's a punchline in there somewhere.

Maybe it's a subliminal message about the proposed sequence of station colours.

To my eyes this looks much nicer than east harbour, which is ...odd to say the least, given east harbours importance.


Anyway, generally speaking I like the designs of these stations, especially the above ground ones

Ah yes, the Jane LRT. So that just leaves number 9 and we'll have no missing numbers from 1 to 10

I'd even rather they used the number 8 pink for the 3 than the purple though, but ofc I'd prefer blue, because this:

just looks much nicer & more logical than this:

Wait until you hear about the two greens!

Moscow also has 2 greens (lines 2 & 10) and 2 blues (3 & 4), but they are quite distinctly different (the 2 matches ours and the 4 matches the SRT):


Meanwhile, Moscow's 7 closely matches NYC 7 & TTC 4:

In New York City, many lines or routes use the same colour. Also use diamonds as well as circles.

Then we have the finishing or tiles to be on the stations. This video explains the logical sequences to the tile colours on much of the Toronto subway system for Lines 1 & 2?

And in London, they use even more colours, and use a mix of solid, hollow, dashed, and even multi-colour lines (for the HSR commuter lines). I guess New Yorkers and Londoners don't get confused as much.

I still hate that 3 is now a purple-ish colour. As much as I like blue, I didn't need them to make line 10 blue. Did we really need 2 purple lines? Let's be honest, Metrolinx is atrocious at naming stations (West Harbour, East Harbour, Allandale, Old Elm, Eglinton, Cedarvale--which I had to look up because I couldn't remember the name) and now they're terrible at assigning colours to lines as well.

Yeah while I can somewhat understand grouping different lines together by color when they essentially branch off each other, I never understood their logic of assigning letter names that aren't grouped together (like why ACE, BDFM, etc, instead of ABC, DEFG, etc??).

Spot on.

So with a northern extension, how would they get past that rail bridge that's on Don Mills just north of the station?

Would they go above the bridge? Temporarily remake or relocate the bridge?

I'm actually more egar for this extension then the actual line. We should be in the design phase now for this extension, instead of trying to build 15-20+ KM in one shot, we should be systematically extending the lines we already have. Go improvement would also be kinda transformational
