The aging subway trains used along Line 2 will be at the end of their design life in 2026 and the TTC is still short hundreds of millions of dollars that it will need to cover the cost of replacement vehicles, CEO Ricky Leary is warning.

Leary made the comment to reporters at city hall on Thursday afternoon after the TTC board received an update about efforts to procure 55 new replacement trains to service the line.

“It is very serious. We have seen what happens when you extend the life of vehicles beyond their useful life,” Leary warned on Thursday. “So I am looking forward with continuing what the board just talked about and that is trying to get money from the federal government to pay for the new trains.”
