"This is a common activity as you test and commission a new and modern signal and train control system and, has no impact on the start of revenue service for Line 5."
"As we progress towards the safe and phased opening of Line 5, Metrolinx, which owns, designed and built Line 5, has remediated issues identified by TTC, the operator of Line 5, that could potentially affect its operation,"
"This includes resolving issues previously identified and those that have emerged more recently."
Metrolinx confirmed minor emergency brake occurrences on the Eglinton Crosstown during testing and said they were not safety-critical and would not prevent the light-rail line from opening. Operators reported the emergency braking system firing at random on test runs. Metrolinx said teams worked daily with TTC partners during testing and commissioning to identify and eliminate causes of unusual emergency brake applications. Metrolinx described such troubleshooting as a common activity for modern signal and train control systems and said it has no impact on the start of revenue service for Line 5.
