While on a southbound train approaching Wilson
Operator announcement "This train will turn around at Wilson to be a northbound train"
Staff on platform "This is southbound train"!!!
Train destination sign "Vaughan"
Operator announcement "This is a northbound train"
Staff on platform "This is southbound train"!!!
Figured the staff on the platform were wrong so I stayed on the platform, but then of course the train continued south.

I remember being at st george with no closures and instead of the line 2 for kipling announcement the train said OUT OF SERVICE (out loud and on the screen I believe) Everyone just boarded and of course the train was not out of service..

That works. Its not the service summary; but it has similar info in it.
Lets see what's notable: (I looked for improvements of 2M or greater in the headway.........there isn't much there)

That's not a service improvements list. It includes 92 which is getting a substantial cut, pretty much in all periods!Next round of TTC service improvements announced.

The mayor held a press conference billing it as such, please feel free to email her w/your complaint. LOL

The majority of the non-construction diversion changes are improvements, but many quite modest, reducing headways by less 1M . Which was my point. The presser made it sound better than it is.
Notable also, no subway improvements at all.

That's exactly what I was just about to make note of. While there are certainly cases where there are some improvements (ie: Service on the 95B York Mills having service hours extended); a lot of this is just service reallocation, or service being temporarily increased due to vehicle storage constraints (ie: 301 Queen).
The fact that they still wont improve service on either Line 1 or Line 2 is a joke. During the mid-day periods its common to see trains on both lines being crammed due to inadequate headways, and dont even get me started on the early afternoon rush-hour where service is a joke and trains on both lines are packed to capacity.
So in saying all that, when is Rick Leary going to be fired?

Stolen from Reddit but the condition of a lot of the tracks are terrible, this is the 506 but even the 501 has some terrible section despite being closed for what like 5+ years?

Really can't blame TTC for this as this is what heavy traffic does to roads. If it is the rails, then TTC needs to rethink how to design the base, but most of all a topcoat that will with stand the heavy traffic.
Looking at Detroit LRT tracks in March, I guess they have the right idea for building the road and the tracks for the QLine by using rebar around the rails as well in the top coat. Have seen no change in the road surface since the line when into service May 12, 2017 and the road completed in 2015. I always thought it was over kill seeing it during construction and looks like I maybe wrong.
Haven't had a close look at Buffalo LRT since they rebuild the ROW for mix traffic.
