‘There is a possibility’: Eglinton Crosstown LRT could open this year, Ford government says

It's likely to be too short of a timeframe, but I wonder what kind of freebies the TTC could get from the province to give them a favor to open it before year end.

Eglinton LRT apparently enters its last day of testing today according to Metrolinx CEO

There was never truly transparency as when they started true revenue testing and if they stopped or reset the testing after the ward accident, but i guess we will take every good news.

Revenue service testing has resumed on line 5 Eglinton

Unclear if they have to restart the 30 day testing protocol or can resume where it was in the process.

Either ways trains are back at running on the line.

Revenue testing has now PAUSED for the Eglinton LRT line

There was a collision between 2 trains in the storage yard

Unclear if this will require a restart of the 30 days revenue testing

It's not good news for sure

Revenue service testing to start this week for the Eglinton LRT, according to Metrolinx CEO. It lasts at least 30 days (could be more)

It's a good milestone to reach

Metrolinx testing of Eglinton LRT is still moving forward and apparently progressing. But still no timelines.

Now they are concerned about how old those Bombardier trains are since i guess a lot of them have been sitting in the garage for years.

It does seem that it's still Metrolinx running the show, so definitely not transferred fully to the TTC

Looks like Doug Ford is brave enough to give an opening date for the Eglinton LRT so it might actually be happening soon.

It’s almost the 2 month anniversary of when #metrolinx said they would give us an update every 2 months on the #EglintonCrosstownLRT.

If Phil Verster wakes up on Nov 27 and doesn’t see the shadow of his $850K salary, does that mean we will have 6 more years of construction?
