TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

rbt said:
Yes, assembly is in Brampton not too far from Bramalea GO Station. The order was for 61 LRVs; 17 for Finch and 44 for Hurontario with no spares (for Hamilton).

The remaining Bombardier order is 76 all going to Eglinton.

I’m pretty sure that Hurontario is only getting 28 cars. The number was reduced during the “cost savings“ when the loop was cut.

Sounds correct that's it's around this number. The reduction was made well over a year ago. The total is something like 46 or 48 for both lines then. Not sure if they cut more off for Hurontario LRT.
 
4409 finally has started testing again after 38 after its first test. Currently westbound on Queen at Broardview

4411 is at Hillcrest waiting to be off loaded. If was off TTC property May 5/2020. If off loaded on Monday, it will 139 days last seen and the fastest turn around from QC.

4409 been in the service bay since Friday and not sure if it has done 3 or 4 days of testing.
 
Looks like 4411 was off loaded today as it currently tracking at Hillcrest. May have to be tow.

4409 been on the service track the last 2 days.
 
4413.

4413 replace 4411 when 4411 was off loaded Tuesday and on its way to QC.

Both 4409 & 4411 are currently in the service bay. 4409 been here 48 days so far.
 
4411 is out testing and is currently on 509. It was on 510 earlier

4409 is still on the yard service track
 
@drum118 Can you tell us how many cars have been 'upgraded', how many are currently 'being worked on" and how many have still to be sent? It would be good to have a birds-eye view of what's going on and when the full fleet will be here.

It been stated 2023 for the full fleet.

4400, 4401, 4403-4411, 4414 done. 4412, 4413, 4415, 4417, 4418 in QC. The last 2 cars have been done in 145 days compare 290-305 days. 4466 is the last car to be done.

If QC has got the cars down to 145 days, will meet 2023 time frame. Still taking 45-90 days to get cars back into service once back on TTC Property. 4409 Arrived Aug 7 and 4411 on Sept 22

4471 & 4478 still in TB considering they were to be here Q1 this year. Been in TB a year plus and last saw service going onto 3 years. Most likely ML cars been done first due to high back charge cost to ML compare to TTC no back charge.

Covered in more detail in the Fleet Procurement Strategy thread I started (which is the report from which this info comes)
