in the 90's when i was i little kid, there were NO announcements. the only way you knew what station you were on back then was when the train stopped and you looked at the station wall lol
@elevatortraction Yep, before the chimes were installed, the TTC door guards used whistles. They were pretty loud, but I guess they felt the chimes were more efficient. When the RTs were first run, they started with chimes because there's only one TTC employee on a train. It must have been a several years before the chimes were retro-fitted onto the TTC subway trains.
@mixedbreed19 Those were different cars. I think the ones you are referring to were from the 60s. They had plush grey and blue seats and the colouring of the plastic was greyish. There were also orange and cream coloured interiors, which I think came later. I think these were the trains that used to buzz when they started and stopped. I never understood why they did that.
@AmazingFantastic The transistion began on the Sheppard line in 2006, later added on the Yonge-University-Spadina in 2007 and finally on the Bloor-Danforth Line in 2008.
this was recorded before automated announcements. in the 90's when i was i little kid, there were NO announcements. the only way you knew what station you were on back then was when the train stopped and you looked at the station wall lol

I love the noise the train makes after it has finished buzzing when accelerating in this particular video. It sounds very... subway-ish. (1:24)

Anyone else remember the whistle that was used as a door chime before the mechanical chime?

the h-5 has automactic regenative braking.
The red seats in the H6 is so ugly the TTC should replace them with the orange seats.

This video was filmed before they put the automatic announcements in. Back then, an employee had to manually announce them.
