  • Comment: WP:BOLDly declining、 while there are a lot of sources covering Hitachi Rail's involvement in Ontario Line in both languages, it looks like those articles are more about the bids and less about the rolling stocks. That leaves me with only a single non-passing coverage, and one more if you count that. (Non-independent sources are not counted) This doesn't quite hit WP:THREE and probably would fail WP:N anyways, so the content should be merged to give that article a good improvement.

WARNING: This article will be merged into a experience of the Ontario Line once either the first batch is built or the Ontario Line opens in 2031. Wait until there is confirmation.

The New Train of Toronto will be the upcoming sixth series of rapid transit rolling stock used on the Toronto subway system of Toronto, Ontario, Canada that will be used on the under construction Ontario Line. They were ordered by Infrastructure Ontario, after contract for rolling stock, signaling, operations and maintenance was awarded to the consortium in November 2022[1] They will be built by Hitachi Rail, with all trainsets being built in London in England, and shipped to Toronto. The first batch will be delivered by 2027, with all trains expected to be in service by the 2031. As of 2025, they have a cost of CA$9.00 billion.[2] The trains would include new automatic platform screen doors and wheelchair accessible seats including bike racks for E-bikes and scooters, the trains will be operated by the Toronto Transit Commission and Transdev, and will be fully automatic.

These vehicles will be painted in blue, to assume the color of the TTC line, which was similar to the LRV vehicles being painted in silver to accomidate the opening of the under construction Line 5 Eglinton and Line 6 Finch West.

History

[edit]

The design of the trains were awarded by the Rolling Stock, System and Operations Maintenance (RSSOM) in November 2022. During production, the current premier of Ontario, Doug Ford is announcing the Toronto Transit Commission to build the Ontario Line, a successor to the downtown Relief line that was part of the cancelled TransitCity plan, 50 new trainsets will be produced and installed to relieve overcrowding on most stations on Line 1 Yonge-University.[3] The 19.6 kilometer line would connect from Science Centre to Exhibition downtown west. New trains would be elevated, using the standard gauge railway like Metrolinx's Line 5 Eglinton and Line 6 Finch West. During production, new station names will be announced on the rapid transit line, with providing connections with Osgoode and Queen station, the latter will be renamed to Queen-Spadina.[4] Both the trainsets will be equipped with the use of platform screen doors similar to the ones that are used on Union Pearson Express, which opened in 2015.[5]

The Ontario Line will be able to deliver faster, more frequent service by using modern technology that has been adopted by subway systems around the world. All trains will be driverless, and provide automatic train control (ATC) to relieve a fatal accident on underground stations and tunnels if people are walking either in unstable area or dangerous places, like the ones used in Vancouver, London, Paris and Singapore. The set will be a future project for the TTC, to provide for passengers to board modern, faster 90 kilometer speeding automatic subway trains, in accordance with operations and maintenance agreements. This train is also for people with physical disabilities. Passenger information will be added to provide passengers with communications, CCTV cameras will be installed in all canopies on each car. These visuals will be added because of a accident where a woman fell onto a TTC subway track at St. George station in 2022.[7]

Management and storage facility

[edit]

The new fleet with have Maintenance and Storage Facilities, where the vehicles are stored, the Operations Control Centre where staff control train operations and are connected to TTC and GO Transit systems and the Ontario Backup Operations Control Centre. Construction to the facility will began in 2024 as soon as the Ontario line began construction by demolishing a Islamic centre and a shopping mall that features Hamal good from a generous culture, work on these products will be waiting to be completed by 2031.

Service

[edit]

Like Line 5 and Line 6, all train sets will be equipped with PRESTO fare gates in station entrances when passengers enter the Ontario line, through a entrance and exit, with additional service for users to provide customers to use cash, and debit cards when boarding the trains interchanging from Queen and Osgoode stations, the line will also accept cash, Presto cards as well as a fare program developed for senios when boarding a train with destination signs used for passengers with other mobilty devices, the stations that the line will have are blue guide ways to develop connections with transit agencies including GO Transit. All trains will stop at each station when looking for a handful guide of partnering with the metal poles and decide on where the train closes it's doors and will be used to depart after 2 minutes.

As part of it's easily-constructed equipment, it will provide faster, more frequent and reliable access to rapid transit, and will carry with more than 227,500 people will live within a 10-minute walk of an Ontario Line station, with cellular service provided by Rogers located on one of the cars.[7] The trains with improve the quality of life for commuters by reducing daily travel time by 2040. These cars will be similar to the newer TR models and will be used prior to the Pan American 2028 Olympic Games. The Ontario Line will be both underground and elevated, along with the additional cost of adding automatic announcements and even a new accessibility menu. This would be the first future driverless train in Toronto.

Design

[edit]

The trains are designed like modern Japanese trains with wider doors, automatic signalling, ATC equipment and new regenerative braking system. All trains are equipped with a cone shaped coupling that provides connection with freight rail when traveling on a box car.

The newly designed TTC rolling stock will include features such as the following:

  • onboard Wi-Fi; 
  • digital passenger *information screens; 
  • wireless charging points; 
  • dedicated spaces for bicycles; 
  • double wheelchair areas; 
  • continuous, connected train cars; 
  • heating and cooling throughout; 
  • doors that will open in sync with platform edge doors; 
  • regenerative braking.

The equipment will be capable of a maximum speed of 80 kph (50 mph).[8] [9]
