I'm placing my bets all three of them will be delivered by end of May with two of the delivered by mid May.

512 will be the next line to be converted to the new cars after 514 is done.
514 is supposed to be all new cars come with May changes.
With 511 getting streetcars in May, some new cars will show up on that line then.
Should note, New Streetcar: Mean Distance Between Failures (MDBF) is now at 16, 431.

16k MDBF is quite a leap. Hope we don't hear in a few months that some failures were reclassified as "non contractual issues"

Yeah, we don't need anyone fudging the data. However, assuming this stat is likely to have come from the TTC, and not from Bombardier, I am hopeful that it will hold up. If it's a sign that the worst of the inevitable teething troubles have been identified, and solved, it's a good trend for the new fleet.

Got 4 flexity runs today on 504. 4422-4424, 4429 are on it currently. This is the most amount of scheduled flexity runs to date according to my observations.

With the latests news out of Australia, the merger with Siemens can't happen fast enough since BBD is running out of cash for their projects that could effect TTC order.
I stand to be corrected, but TTC needs 7 cars for 509, 14 for 510 and 10 for 514 for a total of 31 out 33 in service at this time. This leaves no cars for 512 until the end of May or June.
As more cars come into service, 504 should see more cars on the weekend and holidays.

I wonder when they will show up on regular weekdays as well? Maybe in the fall during the testing of the king street project?

The Bombardier-Siemens merger would be excellent for increasing the production of Flexities (as long as factories aren't shut down to reduce duplication).

There will be three allocated to King on weekdays starting with the next board period.

Don't see it since Siemens has over 500 car to be built over the next 5 years from their US plant. Even going to their Europe plants is not going to help with the current order, but will help for the option.
If and when the merger takes place, Siemens is going to look at all of BBD plants and wouldn't be surprise to see Thunder Bay close early 2020's. Cost of shipping items to/from the plant plays a large part on the bottom line as well delivery time.
