It was a partial wrap of the train I think it was only the middle four cars that were wrapped as apposed to the whole train

Has there been any developments on the possible sale of some Orion 7s to NY MTA? Is that dead or just sleeping?

The MTA has gotten cold feet and walked away from the potential deal. All TTC Orion VIIs will be scrapped.

The TRs could get the new streetcar and bus colour scheme to match.

It bugs me that the city and the TTC is ever so slowly removing streetcar tracks. Instead, they should be installing detour streetcar tracks.
The latest example is for TIFF. Instead of allowing the streetcars to row slowly through, they are detouring them very wide, and using buses for the short comings. The city and the TTC should be installing tracks that would allow the use of streetcars instead of buses around detours.

Having streetcars pass the celebrities on the red carpet might make the festival look cheap.

I had expected to see a passing track where the eastbound 512 St. Clair streetcar platform is now, at St. Clair West Station. There is a passing track for the westbound 512 platform, but the westbound streetcar will now have to wait for the eastbound streetcars to leave the eastbound platform first before moving into the westbound platform.
There was reconstruction some time ago at St. Clair West Station, but nothing was really done to improve streetcar movements. The penny-pinchers doing their worst... again.

The TTC doesn't seem to fancy using temp tracks much. Maybe something about the weight of the CLRVs/Flexities? The bottom line is whether TIFF should get to close one of the principal streets in Toronto in both directions for that length of time. I would argue - no, they shouldn't. At most, they should get the north side of the street and allow transit traffic to operate on the south side. If they want a plaza for their annual beano, well they should have recessed Lightbox's streetwall from King.It bugs me that the city and the TTC is ever so slowly removing streetcar tracks.

I missed this previously, but there is a confidential report on Danforth Garage (Coxwell-Danforth) at today's commission meeting. Disposal imminent?

While TTC is busy rejecting the 2-hour transfer (for now), other cities use various time intervals depending on how much one pays.
In Prague, see link, you can buy a 30 minutes fare (for 24 CZK or $1.36 CDN) or a 90 minute fare (for 32 CZK or $1.81 CDN), in addition to an all day pass or a three day pass.
They also allow one to use SMS (see link).
