The head of the metrolinux says that the gradual aging aglinton crossstown LRT vehicles available and obtaining reliable for the whole day’s service is the latest issue that is facing the crew because it works to launch the work.
During an announcement on Wednesday about a contract prize to build tunnels for YONGE North Subway Extension, Metrolinx President and CEO Michael Lindsay provided an update on the project when asked by 680 Newsradio Toronto. He repeated the previous comments, stating that the “serious test running” of the Aglinton Crossstown LRT line is still going on.
“We find out through this deliberate period of stress testing through this intentional period that the availability and reliability of one of the issues that collectively addressed,” Lindsay said.
“These vehicles are 10 years old, they are now starting to run the desired kilometers for the revenue service, and as we do, we find out what their maintenance profile is. We get a better picture how to keep them in service so that we can make the availability of vehicles to a level that can meet the capacity.”
Ontario Premier Dug Ford and others had earlier indicated that a September launch of the line was expected, but the time limit as near the week is growing rapidly. Lindsay did not run it completely, but noted that the deadline is conditional on addressing dull issues.
Lindsay said that Aglinton Crossstown remains the major concerns of safety and reliability before launching LRT. He said that he feels that metrolinux is a “a few weeks away” that is able to confirm whether the vehicles will be available as required, so the agency can carry out a comprehensive 30-day revenue service performance, which means that a complete performance of the line as if it was running with passengers.
“If he works, we will announce a sufficient completion of the project in late September, and then we will work with both Ontario and TTC, which will be to think about the progressive ramp-up of service with Aglinton,” Lindsay said.
He said that TTC personnel have recently started testing the line before 6 in the morning by putting vehicles and operating systems, “Lindsay at 2 pm as long as Lindsay also said that the employees have started testing a completely testing of” non-rolling stock “such as the escalator, lift and HVAC systems.
“I can promise you that the CEOs of both organizations (metrolinux and TTC) are thinking about the plan for the day, what it is going to reveal and what it means we are going to do tomorrow,” he said.
Lindsay focuses the latest focus on the availability of vehicles 19-Cilometer, 25-Station Aglinton Crossstown Line,
He said, “I am happy that we are looking for now that we are deciding those things before opening this line, when the line is opposed to find them when open,” he said.
“Every problem we find today and is right in partnership with TTC is one who will not present themselves when people are riding it.”
There has been a continuous cycle for the crew responsible for the discovery line of problems. Construction of Aglinton Crossstown begins in 2011 Under the previous Ontario Liberal government and various metrolinx management. It was about to open in 2020, but has been repeatedly pushed back due to various legal, construction and testing issues along with delays related to Kovid-19.
Ford said during Wednesday’s announcement, “Hope we are going to receive some dates, and hope we will do it. It’s not their fault. Since I was elected, it has been a bad dream, but we are completing it and we are completing it safely,” Ford said during Wednesday’s announcement.
“We’re going to do it in a way: we’re going to do it safely. We are not going to do it like the city of Ottawa, and the talk is breaking every other day.
“When I came to the office, the place was a disaster and there were 220 non-originated (on the aglinton crossstown), but the good news is-I always like to say that the glass is half full-we are there, we are inches away.”
During a July 1 TTC board meeting, former interim TTC CEO Greg Percy called September “A. Reach”.
He said, “This decline is laudable and of course by the end of the year. There are lots of and lots of items running that we need to fix safely, and that is what we are focused on,” they said that time.
Percy said that security and customer experiences are major issues, and that TTC would not open it until “it is satisfying both.”
In One interview recently Along with Citynews, the new TTC CEO Mandip Lali said the Aglinton Crossstown and Finch West LRTs were one of the reasons he had applied for a job. He said that he is confident that TTC employees will be ready to operate it as soon as the metrolinux completes its commission work.
