Maybe not the entire route, but they will have extras, so likely will deploy on the 501.

They haven't today (Saturday). Instead of seeing 15 or so more Flexities elsewhere, there's simply seems to be less Flexities running today, with 33 CLRVs and 5 ALRVs on 501.

Well, tomorrow is likely when they will be deployed to the 501.

Oh wow!
Decommissioning of trolleypole-compatible infrastructure on TTC streetcar routes.
Streetcar route sections completely incompatible with trollypoles.
The beginning of a new era.

I'm worried about the impact that this will have on the heritage PCC cars. Maybe the TTC should put pantographs on them? El Paso's new streetcar line has done it!

I don’t think you’re aware of how few people care about antiquated, decrepit legacy streetcars.

They are actually a really popular and important part of parades in Toronto.
Im sure the TTC will put a panto on one PCC and one CLRV/ALRV. Its been done before.

Other than the favoured people of the Beaches, are they part of any parades?

What an ugly f*cking streetscape. Then again, like a lot of Mexico...I'm worried about the impact that this will have on the heritage PCC cars. Maybe the TTC should put pantographs on them? El Paso's new streetcar line has done it!

El Paso is in Texas, across the Rio Grande from Ciudad Juarez in Mexico.
Your point still stands.

Perdon. Discúlpame. Tienes razón. But dam there are a lot of ugly streetscapes in that part of the world. Didn’t notice it when I lived there. But it sure screams from that photo.

Pantographs are definitely the way to go. Funny thing was that as a child I used to enjoy watching the trolley poles navigate turns and the "clickety clack" sounds they would make at junctions. And of course the inevitable disengagements and watching the poles swinging freely.
