Revenue Service Demonstration testing across the #EglintonCrosstownLRT seem promising today... 7 minute headways look so good, but evidently there is still some work to be done (i.e. departure board timings are way off, especially at Ionview)!

Looking forward to see RSD wrap up in the coming weeks.

Oh heck, it's only been 12 years. Another year or two wouldn't make any difference, right? 🤦‍♀️

The incompetence of Metrolinx is astounding.
