The TRs should run alongside the T1s on the BD as a mixed fleet, like how the R62As ran alongside the R188s on the 7 train up until CBTC was completed. Nice video.

[@michaelsegal3558]

Actually there was one summer I think it was either 2006 or 2007 or it might have been 2016 or 2017 where the TRs did run alongside the T1’s on line 2 only because some of the T1’s were having A/C problems and so they wouldn’t have a train shortage on line 2 and so the passengers wouldn’t melt while riding on line 2 and while they fixed all the T1’s with A/C problems they used some TR trains on line 2 temporarily to make up for the T1’s with A/C problems while they were getting their A/C’s fixed

[@stoddard1953]

Really cool to hear the robotic voice pronouncing all the station names. I like Susan's voice but it'll be nice once the rockets make their way over to Line 2.

[@Humulator]

They aren't. New trains are being bought for line 2, tr's will stay on line 1. Future: Line 1:TR and new train for yonge extension Line 2:New trains only Atleast, thats the plan. You don't know what could change

[@andrew_is_so_great]

Same, I honestly dont like the recorded announcments at all their impossible to hear. Plus, on the TRs the operators can use text to speech to send a message on the train where on the T1s they need to use their mic and you can’t hear what their saying..

[@violetvoids7029]

T1s are confirmed to last until year 2026. They are said to have a very strong lifespan that exceeds any of the h series by a huge amount. But the TRS are expected to replace some bad T1s by 2021. Eventually, they will have to be putting TRS on Line 2 because the line will have an extension in the 2020s. They will only be able to order new rolling stock and their only choice will be the trs

[@trainboy647]

No, T1s will last until 2036. TTC is upgrading T1s to make them stay in service for ten more years. It is a lot more cheaper to fix up the T1s than to replace them with new TRs. The "Life Extension Overhaul" program will have the intent of operating the T1 fleet for a total of 40+ years.

[@trainboy647]

Also, the T1s CANNOT OPERATE on Line 1 due to the ATC (Automatic train control) implementation. Only TRs are ATC compatible.

[@BurnedNoodle]

trainboy647 if that’s so then TTC should add the Automatic Train Control (ATC) To the T1

[@trainboy647]

[@FieryGamer260]

It's 2018, and the T1's are still on the Bloor-Danforth line.

[@lyomaninventor2637]

I'm pretty sure they won't be coming to Line 2 until 2020-2021, since they need to install something on Line 2, also because the T1's are perfectly fine for now.

[@GolfFanaticEstR]

Lyoman Inventor, They need to install ATC signalling on Line 2 in order for Line 2 to be compatible for TR's. Line 1 already has ATC from Vaughan to Spadina, and will get it fully by 2019.

[@XENONPLASMA]

Line 2 will not be getting ATC until at least 2025 due to the construction of the Eglinton Crosstown (scheduled to be complete in sept. 2021) and the continuing crapshow that is the line 2 expansion to the Town Center which still hasn't gotten shovels in the ground due to city council who can't make up their minds.

[@JackOfEverything]

You know what, for the light up subway maps in the Toronto Rocket trains, it was kind of a waste for Bombardier to put LED lights in for Line 3. Line 1 was the first one to get Toronto Rocket trains, so the map on that line would light up Line 2 at Bloor-Yonge, St. George, and Spadina, and Line 4 at Sheppard-Yonge. When Line 4 got Toronto Rocket trains, the map would light up Line 1 at Sheppard-Yonge. So if the only possible way for Line 3 to be lit up on the map, would be for the Toronto Rocket trains to be on Line 2, then why would they put it in? Because I'm sure that Bombardier knew that the TTC wasn't gonna put Toronto Rocket trains on Line 2 before the closer of Line 3. (Once again, rest in peace Line 3.) But I guess it was useful in this situation, and we'll never see it again.

[@ngarcia103]

Next time you ride a Line 1 train, go up to the map of lights above any door, and run your fingers through where Line 3 used to be mapped. The holes for the lights are still there.

[@jayvonnoelsmith8445]

Yea true the TRs should run alongside the T1s

[@TheDLFduckbitchfan]

[@6ytruyt]

I think TTC should start investing in Toronto Rockets and start using them for Line 2 and get rid of of the old trains. Line 2 should be rapid transit just like line 1

[@michaelsegal3558]

I remember one summer some of the T1 trains had A/C problems so while they repaired the T1’s with the A/C problems and so they would have enough trains on line 2 (Bloor/Danforth) they moved some of the rocket trains temporarily to line 2 until all the A/C’s on all the T1’s were working again and from what I hear the TTC won’t have rocket trains on line 2 permanently until about 2025 or so In my opinion I think they should have put rocket trains on line 2 before line 4 (Sheppard) because I’m sure line 2 gets used more than line 4 and line 2 is also a bigger line than line 4 but obviously the TTC had their reasons for putting the rocket trains on line 4 before line 2

[@MrEeeaddict]

reason was driverless trains could already run on 4

[@michaelsegal3558]

@@MrEeeaddict I see but I think line 2 should be a higher priority than line 4 because it gets used more and is a bigger line so I think all the upgrades should come to lines 1&2 before going to line 4 so I don’t know why they are making upgrades to line 4 (the least used line) before line 2 (the second most used line) just because line 4 is the most recent line doesn’t mean it has to take priority over line 2 they should prioritize which line gets updated first should be based off of usage a ridership not because line 4 is a more recent line and I’m pretty sure line 2 has way more usage and ridership than line 4 so therefore should get upgraded before line 4 which I’m pretty sure has way less usage and ridership

[@Humulator]

@@michaelsegal3558 The reason was that line 1(which is now fully atc), was being upgraded to use atc. The t1's can't run on tracks with atc. The tr's were moved to let them access davisville yard, which isn't on line 4. Line 4 doesn't have its own maintenance yard. It's only 6 trains on line 4, but like 35 i think on line 2, so its not a big investment to change line 4.

[@michaelsegal3558]

@@Humulator yeah but I’m saying they should have changed line 2 before line 4 because line 2 gets used more than line 4 I think they should have put the ATC on line 2 before line 4 because line 2 use gets used more
