TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

4556 Has enter service on 501 (501A) and currently westbound Bay St after arriving June 26
 
Meanwhile, in Europe there is a new design for the Flexity streetcars:

I actually prefer our flexities. These look dated.
 
I surprised myself as it was unplanned, but end up shooting Russell yard and decided to look for new cars I have yet to shoot on 501. Found a few and as I was about to leave 4556 show up that only enter service today.

Track 22 is empty to the point some wheel sets were sitting on it. Could be wrong but didn't see any ALRV's that were there before and tracking, other then one possible that's to be scrap. Tracker show no ALRV's at all and saw none out at Roncesvalles. Had heard a few went to Hillcrest, but no idea how many. The last I saw tracking was 5 a week ago. One can said the end has come for the ALRV's as they are getting less than a 1,000 km between failures and causing too much service issues.

As I was leaving, another new car 4551 show up and the 2nd time I didn't get a shot of it in the last week. considering I was riding it the first time. With all my stopping and travelling from one end of the city to another, finally got a shot of 4551 at Roncesvalles still going westbound.
 
4560 has been off loaded at Hillcrest
4543 has return to the Barns after a month up there.
4557 has been reported being in service, but all I have seen of it today as been in the service bay or yard.
4438 been at Hillcrest since April.
We could see 4461 off loaded this week
 
4557 has reenter service as 504 (BREX) after arriving June 28. It was out shortly yesterday as a 510
4558 did an in service testing as 301 up on St Clair last night and been on 509

Interesting, considering it was loaded at Hillcrest on February 20, 2019 and 4400 was on September 07, 2018. It maybe be off loaded next week and if so, close to the 19 week turn around time frame for these cars. What happen to 4400???

4561 was off loaded today.
 
4559 has enter service on 510 today. It was still sitting in the yard at 8:30 am and had move to a number of different track up to I last saw it in the yard for some odd reason.

4560 went out testing after I noted it was tracking. 4576 still MIA and not tracking considering it arrived on July 11.
