After many days of commuting the Yonge Street subway line, Homefront associate Sandra Zhang is able to report that there really is a new train out there. Most riders have been waiting for the new train, but there’s only one in service. Sandra says it’s lovely and modern but this morning the cars seemed a little on the muggy side, as if the AC was sluggish. She says the speed of the new train was very good, contrary to the comments of some riders who found their trip slow. We note the interesting configuration of the spring-loaded “straps” way above the passengers (centre) and definitely too high for Sandra. Good thing there are poles.
