1:13:23 Someone says "We're at Bayview?" and you guys talk about how the displays looks wrong, I agree with the guy that 1:13:46. It's the only one that's bold so it looks like that's where you are. I am excited to ride the train to the airport one day but that display needs to be redone!!!!! imo
The nice touch though is the times between next station and final station. Personally I don't have an issue with the display layout but I know a lot of people have commented like yourself on it being a bit confusing.
I was quite surprised. I was expecting a few dozen people at 6am but I guess people come in large numbers when they're really excited, even in early morning cold weather :)
It varies by station. Single platform stations can be on either side (of which there are 4, Walkley, Dow's Lake, Mooney's Bay and Airport), plus a centre platform station (South Keys). It isn't a big deal and is the same on Line 1 with the centre island platforms vs the more common side platforms.
Can't wait to try the new Diesel Trains out! I notice that Line 2 has bells and Line 1 does not. Will Line 2 continue to have the bells? I find the bells a nice touch and really wish Line 1 had those as well. I guess with stops so close together on Line 1, the bells would be going off all the time so maybe they thought not to use them out of annoyance.
You guys are true heroes going there at 5:45am! So excited for this as I live close to South Keys, will be checking it out later today 😊
The coverage was awesome - thanks for doing this
Our pleasure. Happy you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.
8:18 It was an honour meeting you in person. 🎉🎉
Thanks. Nice meeting you too.
I felt the same excitement finally meeting Shane as well. Been watching his videos since the start of Railfans when it was called O Train Fans
@ericpusey5283 thanks Eric. It’s fun meeting other Rail Fans.
@@ericpusey5283 O-Train Fans.... now that's a name I have not heard in a long long time... (lol)
Thanks!
Thank you.
I walked past you all at Bayview Station this morning. You looked like you were all having a great time! You walk past me at 2:42:14 of the video
What an awesome day
Was lucky enough to try it about 3 weeks ago for disabled test run, great run. Thanks for the channel, love it. Merci pour l'information
Thank you Shane

It was lowkey fire being there lol
Looked like a fair number of actual users on that opening run.

I wish I could have gone to this, will y'all do something like this for Line 1 east? 😭
Yes we will for the next openings.
Single track, double tracks: which side of the train are the passengers onboard to get off on the next platform?

Yes bells will continue as it is a federal regulation on this line.
