Yeah, looks like 4505 when I zoom in.looks like 4505 that was at the gate in Thunder Bay some days ago. I guess Hillcrest will see it Monday.

King is entire Flexities this tuesday morning.
First time Ive seen on a rush hour weekday
They've been doing pretty good for AM peak, but one or two CLRVs have slipped into service later in the day. All 30 cars right now are accessible.The TTC has clearly exceeded the target for the 504 branches and having enough Flexities to run along the 504 branches. As per the TTC website, only the 504A ( Dundas West Stn-Distillery ) is supposed to be fully accessible. I guess they get enough for the 504B as well.
I don’t think people mind an odd CLRV here and there to cover a problem on a given day, much as elevators in accessible stations occasionally have to be taken down for maintenance, but if they are rostered for a board period then I think you have to withhold the designation. Ultimately the test shouldn’t be where it complies with a bureaucratic rule so much as to what extent people who need the service are impacted when they are led to expect they can access it but cannot.They are certainly very, very close to being 100%. And 504B is for all intents and purposes accessible. I'm not sure accessibility rules require EVERY vehicle on a very frequent route to be accessible - the same way they don't require every subway station entrance to be accessible, as long as there's one at each station.
4502 in service on 504B
15-20% of the fleet is class as spare to allow for the issue of the flood damage cars, the car waiting parts after derailing on QQ, cars being in accidents, general maintains and so on to to have cars on the road. There is about 5 cars out of services for months at this time.So half the order has now entered service, that's something. Too bad half isn't in service due to the flooding, but that was out of Bombardier's hands. :-(
To put it into comparison in that same month from 2008 to 2011 China was able to construct about 35km worth of hsr track from Beijing to ShanghaiDoes it really take them a full month to install a rail on a ceiling. Only in Toronto.
