Any one remember when this project started??? It take so long to get here. People's from the Eglinton and surounding are very happy to have the normal live back.

Great job, Crosstown Team! Looking forward to catching a glimpse of a test train when I’m next in T-dots-and I look forward to hopping aboard a Line 5 light rail vehicle when the line is finally in service. (-:

I suspect as the line is not yet (officially) active the other track was probably not availlable for whatever reason. So, it´s no big deal running a single unit against the regular direction. In particular if track blocks and signals are not active yet. No danger for anyone ...

Loose nails, damaged steel, the weight of trains vs. the road, bad installations, and signage + visual issues between cars and pedestrians need to be tested. On top of that, the trains need to be pushed and TTC operators + dispatch have to be in sync before opening with a required amount of hours recommended by the manufacturer.

Nice 👍 Congratulations 🥳

Adding a roof is unneeded, because it's more expensive, makes maintenance harder, and the electronics are designed to be unharmed by water or dust. It looks the same on the streetcars.

Look at how small they are. Guys, am I wrong or are these the a little too similar to the current rammed-to-capacity streetcars in the city. I know that have a some increased capacity, but is this really the vehicle that is going to provide the service needs this city needs in the future? As someone that crams themselves on the to St Clair streetcar daily, I'm concerned that the more densely populated Eglinton line will overwhelm these LRT's in its first year, nevermind decades into the future.

Obviously I haven't been on these new vehicles, but the current streetcar vehicles are the least comfortable vehicles in the TTC fleet, somehow taking a step backwards from the older fleet they replaced.
