Line 5 Eglinton set to open Sunday; TTC reminds customers about multiple boarding points along the line
The TTC has released scheduled train departure times for Line 5 Eglinton ahead of the start of service this Sunday morning.
With strong public interest expected throughout the day, the TTC is encouraging customers and transit enthusiasts to spread out along the line to help manage demand and avoid crowding at the terminal stations. All trains will serve every station, allowing riders to board at any point along the route.
As part of the phased opening of Line 5, the TTC is advising customers that there will be no grand opening ceremony, formal event, or commemorative merchandise on Sunday at any location.
To support safety and prevent platform overcrowding, customers may be asked to line up outside stations, with entry managed according to station capacity. Riders are encouraged to dress appropriately for the cold weather.

The following times are the first two morning train departures at each Line 5 Eglinton station on Sunday, February 8. Eastbound services will continue to depart approximately every 7 to 8 minutes throughout the day, with westbound trains at the same frequency when the initial service builds.
