Toronto Subway & Scarborough RT in Action - March 2016
Just a fun little project about the TTC Subway and Scarborough RT in Action - filmed in March 2016.
Kennedy and Ellesmere Stations on Line 3; Bloor Station on Line 1; Yonge Station on Line 2; and Sheppard/Yonge Station on Line 1 and 4; finishing off with Davisville on Line 1.

I don’t care how loud the RT is I think it is an underrated service that we have. I will definitely miss them when they are gone

they're gone now, they were originally supposed to close this weekend, but due to a derailment at Ellesmere on July 24th, the srt is no more
When I rode the scarborough RT, it was noisy as hell. but I like the new blue design with the map on top. Nice vid. Liked and subbed

This was my first visit to Toronto - I actually live in Vancouver, BC where we have a similar - though much larger - system known as 'SkyTrain' - you can see two videos of that in my upload list ;-)
Also, I should add that I have heard that in recent coming years, they are scrapping Line 3 and extending Kennedy station to Scarborough Town Centre. These Trains are old enough to be scrapped.

Vancouver is going to be doing the same with our MK1's, and the first variants of the MK2's. They're gonna be replaced by the longer, 5-car MK5's
Odd how some of the line 3 train cars are wrapped in blue with a "3 bullet" pasted in a random location in the window at the end of the car

That's exactly what it is - both these and the Mk1 Skytrains in Vancouver, BC are the UTDC ICTS Mk1 trains. Toronto does not have Mk2 or Mk3 trains as they are too long to negotiate the curve at Kennedy Station. Furthermore the line is set to be replaced in the next five years by an extended subway from Kennedy and also (tentatively) a new streetcar route.

PPE: Hearing protection should be mandatory for drivers. This aging RT line is SO noisy, it easily exceeds recommended safe db levels for prolonged exposure. There WILL be hearing loss for long time drivers of these buckets of bolts.

@Welwyn22

The platforms aren't large enough, there aren't enough cars and the Mk1s are no longer produced. Mk2s and Mk3s cannot be accommodated due to the platforms and the tight curve at Kennedy station. Eventually the line will need to be modified for three-car Mk3 trains, or demolished altogether. Unfortunately I see the latter option being the most likely.

Not going to happen. The MK3 and MK2 trains are too long for the Kennedy curve. Only Mk1 trains have sufficient clearance for it. Also they've rather opted to extend the subway to Scarborough instead of upgrading the ICTS line, so ten years from now that route will likely be torn down.

North side is Unloading and South side is to Load. Newer Train is 1.5 times vs Old Length. not possible to make the Cut. TTC is more Focus service repairing Subway. Main Street Science World Vs Kennedy Station > 3 times Tighter turning Can't put the Canada Line train into Skytrain line Wider by min 5 Feet. Skytrain design better in compare to Scarborough RT
