I remember when the SRT was built. At the time, many experts and even ordinary people said it was the wrong design for a place with our winter climate that can get extremely cold and very snowy. But the TTC and city and provincial politicians wouldn't listen. They were too much in love with the then-new technology.
The first winter after it opened, there were days when the SRT was closed because of too much snow blocking the tracks, and/or extreme cold freezing the switches. And there were many more winters like that. Even when the SRT was running, passengers suffered from the icy winds that blew through the station.
Actually, the TTC really did not want to use these, in fact, they were already mid construction planning on utilizing streetcars (not LRT) when the provincial government stepped in and basically strong-armed the TTC, which they could not do anything else as they were the main funding for the project. See the loop out south of the RT platforms at Kennedy station? Yeah, it was built originally for the streetcars to loop as they only have one cab. That is why it's no longer used (only sometimes for storage, very rarely), it is simply too tight and cause too many derailments.
Back in the day, graffiti covered every meter of the back-sides of those buildings. Some were shit, but a few were just amazing. Thanks for showing us the current value
You're welcome!
Used to live near VP and Ellesmere. Cycled all over when I was a kid. 3000 miles away now, and no snow!
Great peak into the RT Subway line...
Hey Mr. Strides...thank you again for undergoing those cold conditions in that we enjoy these walks of beautiful Toronto 😍
You're welcome Lisa!
@@JohnnyStridesyou’re my favourite Johnny. Better than Johnny six fingers and better than Johnny Rebar, from my old neighbourhood.
Good to see the Scarborough RT trains in action!
Good morning Johnny strides I’m enjoying your Toronto walks and your videos keep them up.
Thanks for showing the SRT! When things starts to reopen, perhaps do a walk inside the Scarborough Town Centre mall?
I will do just that!
Damn this brings back memories as a little kid
Sadly the TTC is closing line 3 in 2023, which means, everywhere in Scarborough, is going to take buses for 7 years, before the line 2 extension opens, which sucks
Scarborough is sadly an after thought when it comes to transit (& cycling) infrastructure.
Hi Johnny thanks for sharing this. Great walk love it keep up the good work
SRT is gonna close in 2023 and the construction of the Scarborough subway will start in 2022. Buses will be running for at least 7 years or so.
Thank you for sharing🙏I havent been there. The place is interesting when they have a little bit snow on the pathway🤠👍And the train platform is nice design😮
You just know how to bring it Johnny seeing Canada through your eyes thanks for sharing and I really appreciate these vlogs 🥰😘🥰
hey 007 T.O jamesbond royale walker, thanks for showing your SRT commute vid ride. alweys pleasure
It's been probably at least a decade since I took the LRT to University to connect to Kennedy then to the university's downtown.
This is cool..nice sharing my friend..
Me and my dad took the Scarborough LRT from Scarborough centre on our way to a Leafs game at the old arena in Fall 1987. That was my last ride on that line.
I never knew there was such thing as line 3 for the TTC until they searched it one day LOL! But otherwise still pretty cool. Although I will say line 3 doesn't look very wheelchair accessible
Sadly it's not... it doesn't even have the screens that advise when the next train is coming. :(
@@JohnnyStrides hopefully line 3 Will get some major upgrades in the future
When I use the TTC I almost always go to Ellesmere station to park before boarding the RT into the city. Shame it’s going away in less than a decade.
This is all new to me. When I was in Toronto, the subway went to Warden Ave. and that was it.
I was only on the subway twice when I lived there but I used the street cars every day to go to work. They were always so packed. Sad times.
That was cool!! Thank you for this Johnny :)
Love this one! Thanks again Johnny
Nice video
Johnny, are you planning another trip to York region anytime soon and if so can you possibly do a walk in Richmond Hill?
Is there an area that's particularly interesting/urban there? Suburban landscapes aren't really something that draws me in.
@@JohnnyStrides I do not know much about Richmond Hill, i'm planning after the lockdowns are over and the weather warms up to take a weekend trip to Toronto to get away for a bit and Richmond Hill is on my bucket list of places to see while in the area. I did some research and it seems like a interesting place. They have in downtown village outside the Richmond Hill Performing Arts Centre, a 14 foot statue of two dancers made of bronze and granite. It was erected for the 140th anniversary of the town, a heritage centre, a very pretty park with a lake called Lake Wilcox in the Oak Ridges neighborhood and a observatory with Canada's largest optical telescope. Interesting history too, it was the starting point of the Rebellion in Upper Canada led by William Lyon Mackenzie.
University of Toronto Scarborough area tour ☺️
Please Johnny,🌺
Any thoughts of doing a video in downtown Mississauga, your hometown?
Eventually... I am not particularly excited to do it in the winter lol
Shocked to see there were no escalators. Even Bangkok and Guangzhou would have them in such a situation, so much for first world!!
Shocked that you couldn't see the escalators at 2:21. Perhaps you need glasses?
@@masterseems8005 He was referring to the 2nd station Ellesmere.
There are clearly escalators...
Hii johny
Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe persons with disabilities won't be able to use this line, as there are no elevators between the train platform and faregate levels?
They have them at Kennedy and at Scarborough town centre stations. However the remaining stations aren't going to be made accessible as they are going to replace it with an extension of the line 2 subway. If they had gone through with the LRT plan it would have been closed after the pan am games completed in theory that line would have been opened already. Unfortunately because our wonderful former mayor Rob Ford screamed about how Scarborough deserves a subway the project was cancelled with no actual plans on what to do with funding for it
When the rt ends in 2023, they will convert the trains into Trent university trains I think.
You predicted it
7:35 why is the sound looks weird
Pickle vats?????????
This video is already 2 years old
