Just as you have been able to for years.So while on King, they're signed as 510 Spadina to Spadina Station? So I can board the streetcar somewhere on King Street East and take it to Spadina?

Because they have to travel down King (or Queen) to get to Spadina.
Why not? As The Lemur says you have been able to do this for as long as I can remember.I don't think anyone was expecting them to be in revenue service while doing so, though.

The only downside is that it could slow getting the cars to where they're needed for the rollout. I can imagine a Bathurst car for example would take quite a while longer making all the stops on King than just going directly there...dependent of course on traffic.On the older cars: yes.
There is rule that says that the new cars are not to carry revenue passengers when running into or out of service. The reason given was supposedly that because the other routes aren't POP yet, that people aren't going to be used to it - which I think is frankly a bit bullshit.

There's this post (which has some qualifications about "wheelchair accessible" - not sure where that might be on King) https://twitter.com/TTCLeslieBarns/status/662731842601136132On the older cars: yes.

Perhaps they've rescinded it - or perhaps, more likely, the crews that are running the new cars are now (temporarily) based out of Russell and weren't made aware of the rule before sign-up.

90% of the curb cuts at TTC stops on King have been made.Possibly because there aren't any island platforms on King and only one I can think of on Queen (east of Spadina)? Or maybe skipping mid-block stop because of the absence of curb cuts?
On the older cars: yes.

I've boarded many a 509 Spadina on Queen East and King East over the years. It often involves the driver having to stop at many stops and explain where he is going, and then wait while the client tries to decide if they want to board or not (never understand how there's much to decide here ... if it's going in a straight line, but not as far as you are going, it's likely going past points where cars turn into service).It was actually nfitz who said it was possible to board streetcars that were en route to their actual designated route. Was that always the case with Spadina?
