Toronto Subway & Scarborough RT in Action - March 2016 

In 2025 they planning to make it the ontario line and the rts might be in it

@@FredButEvenWorse nope, till 2023 hits thats when they scrap all Mk1's due to old age. They might use one of the new bombardier models especially the Mk2's or Mk3's depending on TTC's decisions

@@RandomTransits aww, I really wanted them to stay :(

​@@RandomTransits wait, they'll be using the MK3s? I thought they're using Hitachi trains.

they're gone now, they were originally supposed to close this weekend, but due to a derailment at Ellesmere on July 24th, the srt is no more

This was my first visit to Toronto - I actually live in Vancouver, BC where we have a similar - though much larger - system known as 'SkyTrain' - you can see two videos of that in my upload list ;-)

Vancouver is going to be doing the same with our MK1's, and the first variants of the MK2's. They're gonna be replaced by the longer, 5-car MK5's

Those are overhauled cars

waffledude111111 and some people say that the Scarborough RT is new technology they don't know how garbage it is

The TTC refused to buy a rail grinder blaming costs reasons; this allowed flat spots and wear to develop on the wheels causing much of the noise.

It's because they didn't automate them

gencreeper the rt is automatic

I love the blue Rt wen I went on ,it wus loud but I love it

That's exactly what it is - both these and the Mk1 Skytrains in Vancouver, BC are the UTDC ICTS Mk1 trains. Toronto does not have Mk2 or Mk3 trains as they are too long to negotiate the curve at Kennedy Station. Furthermore the line is set to be replaced in the next five years by an extended subway from Kennedy and also (tentatively) a new streetcar route.

Welwyn22 oh ok thanks and FYI I don't live in Toronto I live in vancouver but I've never rode the skytrain 😟

Damn. How could you live in Vancouver and not have had a chance to ride the SkyTrain? You're actually deprived. If you go the best time is off peak hours on a clear day

gencreeper look I never have the time to ride one because when I was little I almost got hit by a train so I'm scared of trains

I can't wait when you are paying a giveaways? I am your big fan bro. I like your channel. Good Job!

Sharon Watkins The ICTS Mark 1 trains were designed with sharp curves in mind.

I believe the wheels are not on fixed axles

It uses articulated bogies, basically the front and rear wheels of each bogie can be steered in the direction of the track.

And the cars are only about 50ft long

Same trains, same traction motors - just subtle differences between the two.

+Welwyn22 What are the differences?

Probably very minor stuff such as the door operations (opening, closing, door chime), announcements and the interior design.

Biggest difference is the driver cab on the RT, vs no driver cab in Vancouver and Detroit.

The RTs in Toronto are driver-operated, while the SkyTrain in Vancouver are self-operated & driverless.

They were quite frequent from what I recall, usually less than five minutes apart.

Quite frequent.

The cars are identical to SkyTrain cars (UTDC MK1s)

@@Welwyn22 one year late, but thanks

They don't really need it. The destinations are Kennedy and Kipling, that's it. It's not like there are four or more places the train could end up.

The platforms aren't large enough, there aren't enough cars and the Mk1s are no longer produced. Mk2s and Mk3s cannot be accommodated due to the platforms and the tight curve at Kennedy station. Eventually the line will need to be modified for three-car Mk3 trains, or demolished altogether. Unfortunately I see the latter option being the most likely.

And they are too large for the balloon loop at Kennedy Station

I love RT Toronto TTC they should not close it do a protest

​@@jayvonnoelsmith8445 the line and it's trains are old. 40 years. It needs lots of repairs since lots of the line has probably already started to rust and decay. Even here in Vancouver we're starting to get rid of the MK1s with the MK5.

D'Angelo Hartley Electrically, third rail. (Except line 3 which uses third rail plus linear motors).

Wait, is the Mark 1 DC or AC?

@@SRBAnimate DC 600 volts

Because it IS a Mark I SkyTrain. Toronto's Line 3 is identical to Vancouver's SkyTrain in almost every way.

Jasmine Johnston and the innovia metro 100 is also in detroit

It is there are 3 operators:TransLink,TTC and Detroit People Mover

I know! The motor is low

Lennox Alexander Francis Jr UTDC - though the technology is now owned by Bombardier

Lennox Alexander Francis Jr Bombardier. It's a Canadian engineering company

Same trains, same traction motors

True, but it's been neglected for too long and will be replaced by a subway extension to Scarborough from Kennedy.

@@Welwyn22rt has been officially shut down by ttc

+Stylishtrains (JeumontForever) we recently "Modernized the line" and so the liveries where updated.

Is there anything else that's different?

nope, except the small track upgrades, still as useless as ever

OK thanks

does the rt and TTC still use operators? on the newvsubways?

They probably use the same or similar traction motors. These types of trains are used in Detroit, Toronto and Vancouver (BC).

At 8:15 - 8:46 it has the same start up and stop sound

Elevating North Texas it also sounds the same as NYC’s retired R110A trains

Prometheus Crystal same builder - Bombardier. I just wish they could have made them more visually appealing. Why do most North American trains have to be boringly metal-coloured?

I have no idea and worse still they're more prone to graffiti and dirt than the ones coated

@@Welwyn22 bare metal is easier to clean and less maintenance having to repaint them

YES every TTC train has an Operator. TTC Subway 2 Driver switch 1 drive only westbound and same operator open and Closes train door travel eastbound.

Da yau

Not going to happen. The MK3 and MK2 trains are too long for the Kennedy curve. Only Mk1 trains have sufficient clearance for it. Also they've rather opted to extend the subway to Scarborough instead of upgrading the ICTS line, so ten years from now that route will likely be torn down.

Welwyn22 oh yea that makes scence ive seen the mk3 and mk2 go around corners at the yard depot at there fine

Year 2000 2st Generation and 2010 3rd Skytrain are wider by 1 Feet each Side. TTC Scarborough RT Dont have the Width in is Platform as is already Max out at Kennedy Station. North side is Unloading and South side is to Load. Newer Train is 1.5 times vs Old Length. not possible to make the Cut. TTC is more Focus service repairing Subway. Main Street Science World Vs Kennedy Station > 3 times Tighter turning Can't put the Canada Line train into Skytrain line Wider by min 5 Feet. Skytrain design better in compare to Scarborough RT

really?

I actually got off there once during winter 10 years ago. I thought it was just like Lawrence East with the Ellesmere bus going under the bridge but I had to climb the hill instead and when I reached the street, my boots was filled with snow. No wonder it is the least used station.
