[edit] The Rocket?
When I went to Toronto, I remember this system as being called "The Rocket." This article makes no refernece to it. Did I just remember it wrong, or is it called the Rocket as well? - Hbdragon88 04:21, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- While you raise an interesting point, this is addressed in the overview of the main/parent article: the term has been applied to any number of TTC vehicle types and the term "Ride the Rocket" is often used to promote the entire system. E Pluribus Anthony | talk | 04:28, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] GA failed
These reasons are given :
- Please cite your sources as the References section is not all related to the article or can only be used as a secondary source.
- The article has too many lists.
- The article has too many sections (the TOC is too crowded.
- Many sections have only 1-line paragraphs, far from nice prose.
- Lots of NPOVness in the article. See this section for example.
- Map duplicate : give only the map with the future expansion.
- Subway facts sounds like a trivia section so there is no need to have that section unless it is has a better prose.
- Too many tables, try to have 1 or 2.

[edit] Connecting Routes - All Checked!
Hey guys! Just finished a run-through of each of the stations, and checking them against the TTC's own Route & Station list. Although there are a few odd choices in the TTC list (a streetcar running on Wellington apparently is a "connection" to Union Station), I made any corrections necessary. Should be all good from here.

[edit] Digital renderings in infoboxes
You may note some new digital rendering of the TTC station walls popping up on Wikipedia. These are from "Neurotic" Jose Ongpin, who has releaed the images under the GFDL. Suigi 06:02, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry about the lack of updates. Been kinda busy with university right now. Will do what I can when I can. Suigi 21:51, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- All done! All stations 'cept Queens Quay are done (Jose never did that one).
[edit] Future expansion
They recently annouced the results of the RT study. They're keeping it as is plus modiflying the track to have bigger trains. Then they're going to have the Malvern extension. The future expansino map should reflect this.
- It's a proposal by Scarborough Community Council. There's no money for it yet. Let's not jump the gun. Ground Zero | t 01:25, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] T35A08
The section on the new subway cars now being ordered is labelled "T35A08". Does anyone know whether this name has any real status with the TTC? From what I can see, it was a jokey reference used in the "name the subway train" contest, rather than serious code name.
Almost certainly these things will simply be internally referred to as T2, regardless of the contest outcome. But since that isn't known yet, perhaps the section should just be "new car design" or something similar?
