- As of Summer 2016, rare appearances of the Toronto Rocket Trains are on Line 2, on the Bloor-Danforth Line due to the T1's faulty AC units.

I love the classic T1's myself but these are really nice as well inside and out.
Yea, I love the t1 so much
I hate the t1
I only love Toronto rockets and newer trains.
@@city2024newsanahid is it cause of the design or do you just hate old things
Jk, I love the t1 and hawkers!
Really cool to hear the robotic voice pronouncing all the station names. I like Susan's voice but it'll be nice once the rockets make their way over to Line 2.
They aren't. New trains are being bought for line 2, tr's will stay on line 1.
Future:
Line 1:TR and new train for yonge extension
Line 2:New trains only
Atleast, thats the plan. You don't know what could change
The TRs should run alongside the T1s on the BD as a mixed fleet, like how the R62As ran alongside the R188s on the 7 train up until CBTC was completed. Nice video.
Actually there was one summer I think it was either 2006 or 2007 or it might have been 2016 or 2017 where the TRs did run alongside the T1’s on line 2 only because some of the T1’s were having A/C problems and so they wouldn’t have a train shortage on line 2 and so the passengers wouldn’t melt while riding on line 2 and while they fixed all the T1’s with A/C problems they used some TR trains on line 2 temporarily to make up for the T1’s with A/C problems while they were getting their A/C’s fixed
love how the Toronto rocket crosses the Prince Edward viaduct bridge
Bloor Viaduct you meant
I like calling it that
@@EthanRailfanProductionsit’s called the prince edward viaduct… Literally the street is technically called that for a short span.
18:26 "The next station is: Castle Frank??? Castle Frank Station"
huh
Says it so unsure lmao
Hearing the sound of those announcements on the Toronto rocket really calms me
19:36 the train crossing the viaduct is amazing
BLOOR-DANFORTH LINE IS MY FAVORITE SUBWAY LINE
Since when, you like roblox ttc.
Bacon Hair ROBLOX Eglinton will be my favourite because it’s half subway and half lrt
I like yonge-university
I saw at least one today at Main Street Station, and I believe I heard one pass through Broadview Station. A subway driver told me they had four TR trains on Line 2 on July 18, 2016.
Wow, that was a long time ago... it doesn’t feel like a long time ago
12:50 Arriving at CHRISTIE! CHRISTIE!! station
Next station is CHRISTIE CHRISTIE station
Lol
T1s are confirmed to last until year 2026. They are said to have a very strong lifespan that exceeds any of the h series by a huge amount. But the TRS are expected to replace some bad T1s by 2021. Eventually, they will have to be putting TRS on Line 2 because the line will have an extension in the 2020s. They will only be able to order new rolling stock and their only choice will be the trs
No, T1s will last until 2036. TTC is upgrading T1s to make them stay in service for ten more years. It is a lot more cheaper to fix up the T1s than to replace them with new TRs. The "Life Extension Overhaul" program will have the intent of operating the T1 fleet for a total of 40+ years.
Also, the T1s CANNOT OPERATE on Line 1 due to the ATC (Automatic train control) implementation. Only TRs are ATC compatible.
trainboy647 if that’s so then TTC should add the Automatic Train Control (ATC) To the T1
@@BurnedNoodle Too expensive.
Enough with the false rubbish T1s arent "bad trains" the "bad t1s" wont get replaced till 2036-2040 as well as the "good t1s" stop getting free likes for no reason.
@Transmania Ontario I just rode the subway on Monday, July 31 on my way back to Thunder Bay. I rode the T1 to Bathurst Station, got off there and transferred to 511 Bathurst streetcar to Fleet Street (Exhibition Loop)
Normal passengers: This looks odd
TH-camrs: let’s film TH-cam video right now!
Looks like the only time the line 3 leds have ever been used on the map
13:34 Next Station is Bathurst,Parker Station?
I miss the subway in Toronto because I used to ride as a child when I used to visit my family there
This amazing line 2 rocket train!
6281 will come at Line 2 and will have the LFLRV livery.
I Live In Toronto Canada I Was On The TR Train On The Bloor Danforth Line On August 20th 2016
wow u lucky
Yes 7:24 Thats Ur station when u go fun video High Park Station
Yea true the TRs should run alongside the T1s
I was talking to one of the drivers in February and asked about when more of these train sets should be taking over and he said they should be in service in late 2017.
It's 2018, and the T1's are still on the Bloor-Danforth line.
I'm pretty sure they won't be coming to Line 2 until 2020-2021, since they need to install something on Line 2, also because the T1's are perfectly fine for now.
Lyoman Inventor, They need to install ATC signalling on Line 2 in order for Line 2 to be compatible for TR's. Line 1 already has ATC from Vaughan to Spadina, and will get it fully by 2019.
Line 2 will not be getting ATC until at least 2025 due to the construction of the Eglinton Crosstown (scheduled to be complete in sept. 2021) and the continuing crapshow that is the line 2 expansion to the Town Center which still hasn't gotten shovels in the ground due to city council who can't make up their minds.
Daniel K flash forward to 2020; no TRs yet and that makes Line 2 very ghetto lol
I was one of those people to experience a faulty T1 car the one I was in had the heat on luckly the next car over was cooler then the previous one
I can't believe nobody minded you filming in the subway. I was taking pictures of the MBTA (Boston's metro) trains and stations and some people looked at me with evil glares...
The Piano Haven evil glare ? They are overreact on you.
Strange haha.
Pooopshhhhtooloudsubway
7:24 Arriving at High Park High Park Station Thats where Fun video fan Lives
I never seen a TR Toronto rocker at High Park Station 2 Bloor danforth line
I think TTC should start investing in Toronto Rockets and start using them for Line 2 and get rid of of the old trains. Line 2 should be rapid transit just like line 1
Then T1 will be on line 1
old train really suck
@@jackmiller7324 I don't think so. Suspension maybe a tad bad, but other than that its ok. As long as the inside is maintained to a clean standard, I don't see a problem. Their engines and (walls?) are still in decent shape, doesn't make sense to retire yet.
I never saw a TR Train on the bloor Danforth Line
this month they have been running some of them on it to help with the problems with the aC on the T1 trains.
Hey!
On August 15th 2016 i Saw 4 Toronto Rockets 1 Leaving Sherbourne Station One Heading Westbound At St George Station On the Bloor Danforth line and One Heading Eastbound At Bloor/Yonge Station On The Bloor Danforth Line And One Heading Eastbound At Broadview Station
I was on vacation that day. I'm 81 years old.
17:07 “Arriving at, Bloor-Yonge, Bloor-Yonge station. Change here for line 1. Doors will open on the left”
That really does sound werid doesn't it
@@Humulatorno
@@fahimmughdho7585 When your used to being in a TR and it saying change for line 2, line 1 sounds weird.
There are some announcements on the Toronto Rocket Train are mispronouncing some stations. Like Donlands and Ton at the ending of Islington and Ossington suppose to be "tin" at the end like the way Eglinton and Eglinton West Stations on Line: 1. The Human Voice says Os-sing-tin not Os-Sing-Ton.
Ah, that old TR chime
I rode on one on the BD yesterday
I remember one summer some of the T1 trains had A/C problems so while they repaired the T1’s with the A/C problems and so they would have enough trains on line 2 (Bloor/Danforth) they moved some of the rocket trains temporarily to line 2 until all the A/C’s on all the T1’s were working again and from what I hear the TTC won’t have rocket trains on line 2 permanently until about 2025 or so
In my opinion I think they should have put rocket trains on line 2 before line 4 (Sheppard) because I’m sure line 2 gets used more than line 4 and line 2 is also a bigger line than line 4 but obviously the TTC had their reasons for putting the rocket trains on line 4 before line 2
reason was driverless trains could already run on 4
@@MrEeeaddict I see but I think line 2 should be a higher priority than line 4 because it gets used more and is a bigger line so I think all the upgrades should come to lines 1&2 before going to line 4 so I don’t know why they are making upgrades to line 4 (the least used line) before line 2 (the second most used line) just because line 4 is the most recent line doesn’t mean it has to take priority over line 2 they should prioritize which line gets updated first should be based off of usage a ridership not because line 4 is a more recent line and I’m pretty sure line 2 has way more usage and ridership than line 4 so therefore should get upgraded before line 4 which I’m pretty sure has way less usage and ridership
@@michaelsegal3558 The reason was that line 1(which is now fully atc), was being upgraded to use atc. The t1's can't run on tracks with atc. The tr's were moved to let them access davisville yard, which isn't on line 4. Line 4 doesn't have its own maintenance yard. It's only 6 trains on line 4, but like 35 i think on line 2, so its not a big investment to change line 4.
@@Humulator yeah but I’m saying they should have changed line 2 before line 4 because line 2 gets used more than line 4 I think they should have put the ATC on line 2 before line 4 because line 2 use gets used more
@@michaelsegal3558 line 4 is 5km. line 2 is 25km. And to put atc on line 2 needs major changes to the t1's, or a new fleet entirely.
love your videos
even though it's not your intention, but you should be careful as it was pretty evident that the girl at the beginning of the video did not want to be recorded...
Kris Warren but it’s cool to be on TH-cam
MY WISH CAMES TRUE I WANT A TORONTO ROCKET ON THE BLOOR DANFORTH
Fun Video Fan Number 1 I wish they would keep it
Rare
If it was mixed tr and t1 it would be nice
It will probably happen in the coming years
i was able to ride at least 2 tr's on line 2 while they were on line 2
They should've stuck to Susan Bigoni's voice. That automated voice is terrible.
Yeah so true.
Heck, put me in there! I do production work and wouldn't mind doing voiceovers for any transit system. Toronto, Ottawa, Brampton, Vancouver, you name it!
Alex Jirgens That would be nice. Then I could brag to everyone that I had talked to the person who does the voices on all the transport systems.
Q
hey stop argueing and plus this train is different so that means it should have that voice and how do you know her voice
I literally saw 1 in service An hour ago lol
So cool. I saw 2 irl on Line 2, but never got to ride 1. :(
I FINALLY GOT A RIDE ON THE TR ON LINE 2! :D
I think I saw one before
Don’t worry, I rode Line 1 and 2
It's very hard and impossible to find!!!
You know what, for the light up subway maps in the Toronto Rocket trains, it was kind of a waste for Bombardier to put LED lights in for Line 3.
Line 1 was the first one to get Toronto Rocket trains, so the map on that line would light up Line 2 at Bloor-Yonge, St. George, and Spadina, and Line 4 at Sheppard-Yonge. When Line 4 got Toronto Rocket trains, the map would light up Line 1 at Sheppard-Yonge.
So if the only possible way for Line 3 to be lit up on the map, would be for the Toronto Rocket trains to be on Line 2, then why would they put it in? Because I'm sure that Bombardier knew that the TTC wasn't gonna put Toronto Rocket trains on Line 2 before the closer of Line 3. (Once again, rest in peace Line 3.)
But I guess it was useful in this situation, and we'll never see it again.
Next time you ride a Line 1 train, go up to the map of lights above any door, and run your fingers through where Line 3 used to be mapped. The holes for the lights are still there.
Oh, so they CAN put these trains on Line 2. They just... don't want to?
RARE!!!!!
2 TR are on Line 2
Xtreme 87 Yes
@@maarijahnafali6047 Bruh no.
14:11 CHANGE FOR LINE 1 sounds so weird
you can literally ride the Sheppard Line (4) to hear those announcements :/
Heard of line 4?
I think I have seen the same train as you
There's only a few footages TR-BD line
The rocket train on line 2, thats rare
uh.
Humzah Saleem TR is better they are faster and they don’t have as many isssues also they carry more people
@@Buzzlybee Actually they both have the same max operating speed.
@@Buzzlybee Where are you getting this data from exactly?
@@Buzzlybee When are your balls gonna drop?
I wish they could just rebuild some T1 with lcd screens and extendable or fully open gangways and they will be modern on the inside but retro like the t1s or better, the Hawkers and rebrand them as t2s also they will be compatible with atc
The tr sounds like a metrorex bombarding
I was on it on Friday.
Croxwail. Croxwell station.
:O JANE STATION I LIVE CLOSE BY JANE!
@SN - 08AA - Glenhaven Sr PS (1173) I live 3 stations away from Kennedy, I live at main st
I like the h5 and h6 trains
How do you know when these operate?
I have been on one also
The warden sounds bad
@@yorkregiontransitfan5364 WARDEN sounds like next station is... WHAHAHARARADEEHNNNN
what happened to T1
13:31 "Next station is: Bathurst, PARKER Station"
Do you think they might leave 3,4 or less TR on Line 2?? Anyone reply and put your opinions
Maybe 2 or 3 emergency tr's at greenwood.
I agree with Darth but other than that probably not
They should have a mix of TR and T1's on the BD.
@@humzah.saleem the Bloor danforth line is getting a whole other fleet of new trains than the Tr's when they(The T1's) retire in 2030
why is there people on the not in service train?
Because it was taken out of service at Kennedy.
I've never been on one yet, you can walk to the cab car either in the front or in the back
Do u live in Toronto?
+TheEpicClasher Gaming & More! No, I live in Fort Frances, the subway was from Bombardier Plant in Thunder Bay
You Can walk throughout the entire train, because all the cards are permanently connected inside
9:41 when does that ever happen on the subway? I’ve never seen the subway stop to open and close the doors more than once at a station
I’ve seen it happen a handful of times. No idea why it happens. I always just assume it’s like a glitch or something.
today I went on ttc but did not see any tr only t1
woah but how?? did one of the t1s brake or are they testing
During that time lots of T1's were having AC issues so the Toronto Rockets filled in.
why dont we have the train on the floor dan froth line its annoying to use the small old stinky trains we have
I actually wish the TRs would operate on Line 2 full-time like lines 1& 4 I don't want to constantly transfer from car to car at every stop just to move from 1 part of the train to the next I wanna be able to move from 1 part of the train to another while it's in motion
The reason why it’s on line 1 because of capacity, it’s on line 4 because the try can handle one man operating system, the t1s can still handle line 2s capacity in rush hour, just to move car to car freely isn’t really a reason, when I arrive at the station and go to the platform, where I go on the platform is what I car I use it’s not that big of a deal. It would also cost a lot more money for the TTC if they got a TR onto blood Danforth
@@soccerguyrblx9047 Another reason the TR's are not on line 2 is because a curve at Greenwood Yard is too tight for the articulated units of the TR. Greenwood's facilites are also optimized for 2 car sets only.
castle frank sounds weird
i agree
Castle Frank and Islington sound weird. Whatever....
Alexander Tighe more than does two
Alexander Tighe Christie also sounds weird...
Alexander Tighe And Main Street is also weird
Ya
Runnymede also sounds a bit weird
Wtf when she said Old Mill station it’s sounds like O Mill
6:31 I hear something
No matter how much I like both of these trains, most of the H-series trains, beat both Bombardier trains. The G-series trains were mid while I HATED the M-series trains!
PLEASE CHECK OUT THANKS FOR RIDING THE ROCKET by
MICHAEL T. WALL
8:02
They should replace the T1 with TR on line 2 FOREVER
D Mann agreed 100%
Line 1 then?
H4 and Rocket will just share lines with T1
One thing that you cannot I want to know is to know
28:36
Mine Is High Park Station
Mine is Main Street
ok
Mine is lansdowne
25:44 main?
Main street bruh
I am in Canada
me too
Once they make all stations accessible they should change trains but keep it on line 3 because that’s going down
31
3
They Said Old Mills Then Old Mil Wierd
It is a lot faster though
I Dislike this a little bit
line 2 train suck
