The buttons were spec'd by Metrolinx, and so we got them by default. They were supposed to be removed before start of service, but other higher priority things took precedence. They'll be removed at some point.

Now that I think about it, as we approached Frederick St heading northbound, it announced Queen Station. Queen is a S/B only station.... at the time I thought it was done by proximity.... how does it actually work?
It is GPS based, but the vehicles have the route programmed into them. It's one combined system that does the internal and external displays, announcements, etc. It appears to be a programming error as on approach to Frederick station the trains say Queen but display Frederick, all vehicles do it every time.
