Route Branches?

I have never seen "501H" or "501R" on a vehicle, or document produced by the commission regarding branch service. The branch service is refered to as long form and as seen on the destination sign "501 HUMBER" and as for "RONCESVALLES" thats not an actual branch, thats a short turn/run in, just as "501 CHURCH" or "501 McCAUL" would be. Please either A) support the "501H/501R" designations with a reference, or B) use the proper terminology for 'branch' vs 'short turn'/'run in' locations eja2k 03:50, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Correction to my last: letters are used on the time table portion of the TTC website which refer to a legend at the top with the proper long form names, official documentation on the Service Summary found here: [1] shows official branches and designations. Some last streetcar run-ins are shown on the time table part of ttc.ca are shown as "Roncesvalles" etc. to assist customers, but they are not official branches as it is not part of the regular service eja2k 04:31, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Assessment

Rated C class (down from B) as the article needs more references and inline citations. PKT(alk) 21:01, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

FYI for travelers: Getting on or off this line could be dangerous

I looked at stops on this line along Queen. Those I saw had no platforms to help you board. Furthermore, the tracks are in the center lanes of Queen rather than curbside. So you have to cross a lane of traffic and climb up while trying to avoid getting run over. The parts along Queensway are better. There you get platforms and the street car is waiting in a dedicated right of way. Will (Talk - contribs) 14:06, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Any ideas how to better lay out the route map?

I have fixed information box template which was not working until this version by removing the template 501 Queen from the template. It seems that by including the 501 Queen template within the information box template was all too much for the software and the information box template would not show properly. So I have now fixed the information box template. But, I now have a very lengthy route map towards the bottom of the article which doesn't look very pretty. Unfortunately, I don't know how to set it up so it appears on the side rather than in the middle. I also don't know how to set it up so that you can hide it when you don't want to see it. If anybody can help by fixing the route map, that would be appreciated.--Chaleyer61 (talk) 10:50, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

I have improved the layout of the article some more, but it is still not that pretty. Any ideas on further improvements to the artcile layout would be welcomed.--Chaleyer61 (talk) 07:39, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
