Newly Extended Platform at Toronto TTC Eglinton Subway Station 5/15/2023

The Line 1 platform was extended north by one train car to provide an easy connection with the future Line 5 platforms

The new extended platform looks luxurious for Line 5 Eglinton!

I was wondering why there was construction on the eglinton subway platform. I noticed that it was under construction during one of transmania Ontario’s videos.

[@efaber3565]

The subways approach the platform in a slower pace to prevent suicides, which is controlled by the Automatic Train Control

[@PWingert1966]

Giving that the contractor is suing Metrolinx (Again) You can expect that section of the platform to remain as it is for several years if not the rest of the decade. They have stopped all work on the Eglington crosstown and are going to court. That could mean years of delays. We still have nocompetitionn schedule and won't have one till this court case is over. Let's get ready to celebrate in 2030 when the construction resumes.

They’re actually still working on construction despite the impending lawsuits but everything Crosslinx was doing is a load of bull shit

[@JayFow]

It's all fun and games until the crosstown delays the 4th time...

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

Indeed

[@Dansherfox]

the extension is nice but the font for the station name looks really strange in my opinion

[@adrianwitzburg4140]

The line 3 will close before the line 5 opens. Same for line 6, it’ll open before line 5. What the f is happening with crosslinx?

[@Jason-vw1fv]

Did they have to close the station to expland it ?

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

They did

@@AlexGetsAroundTO lets see, eglinton west renamed cedarvale, science centre station also probably gonna be renamed cause dog Fart wants to move the science centre to ontario place, yonge and avenue has a lot of road restoration to do, and finally stc gonna close down within the 4-5 months remaining, yup. the leaders of toronto hates this city and are trying their best to destroy it
