Genius101 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Besides Islington and Warden are all the other stations on track to have accessible elevator service before the end of the year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the revised schedule (Appendix A, page 12 of the PDF) presented in September, only Donlands, Castle Frank and Glencairn are scheduled be done by the end of the year. All other stations will be done in 2025 with the exception of Spadina (Line 1), King and Islington which will be done in 2026. Old Mill is the only station that construction has not started at, and has no completion date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 When ATC is turned off on line 1, how do they manage headways? Obviously they can't run as many trains on the line. So do trains run further apart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfitz Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 With the post-Covid service cuts, they aren't even running as many trains as pre-ATC. Does it run with ATC off often? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfitz Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 How smooth was the ride? Now that they seldom have to operate the train, I've had some bumpy Line 4 rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 Gotta love TTC announcements - just heard “attention line 2 Bloor trains are by passing Sheppard station” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 Heard a couple good ones today as well with the automated voice announcements. One referenced Line 1 as "Bloor Danforth" for a delay at Davisville. Another got it partially right for a PAA, but the "Yonge" in "Yonge-University" was being spelled out on the PA as "Y-O-N-G-E". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I was tripping when I heard Line 2 Scarborough RT is bypassing Leslie Station (btw, there was never any delay on Line 4 that day) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Are all these announcements due to some glitches in TTC’s computer systems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when the operator is "driving the train manually" it is an ATC mode. On 1/15/2024 at 1:57 PM, nfitz said: How smooth was the ride?

There are a couple ops that are super fast, efficient, and smooth because they care and are interested in providing good service. The rest are out of practice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptorjays Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Anyone have idea why are there too many slow zones in longer stretches all of sudden? Line 1 is basically a crawl from Bloor-Yonge to Davisville and Line 2 crawls from Royal York to Jane.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yrt1000 Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 This weekend there’s no service between Davisville and Lawrence stations. That’s the first time I’ve heard of Davisville being used for one of these closures, usually it’s St. Clair. Any idea how it’s gonna work? Unload at Davisville and then use the Eglinton crossover?

There are single crossover switches both north and south of Davisville Station. I imagine they'll use the single crossover south of the station to cross over onto the southbound track, and use the southbound platform. Another possibility is unloading on the northbound platform, progressing past the station, and using the crossover north to reverse onto the southbound track. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed T. Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 There are also two southbound platforms they could use, one to unload, one to load. Although I'm not sure how much the west side southbound platform has been used these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martingr0ve64 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 There's a video of a train ending at Davisville and going to the hostler side of the southbound platform, so I'd say it's not of the blue for them to terminate in that style again.

On another note I'm surprised that nothing is being done to prevent panhandlers at Yonge and Bloor. It's a crazy situation with them fighting over their turf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dowlingm Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Given the very slow zone on approach to St Clair Station I’m not surprised that they are extending to Davisville since presumably they are concerned that trains won’t have enough speed through the St Clair turnback to maintain power getting from one third rail to the other. While Davisville was non accessible for a while they clearly prefer running shuttle buses to St Clair for easier turnaround due to the larger bus bay. I wonder what they will choose this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
