I spotted 4509 testing on Main St. on Sunday morning.

Interesting, as none of the tracking system for it and the other 2 have been turn on so far. Nothing showing up now or yesterday and before then for the 3 cars. 4509 has been here 8 days based on testing notice while 4508 has been here 14 days so far and no sign of it and 4510 been here 5 days.
Maybe TTC not turning the GPS on until the car does it in service testing, just before it goes into service to stop us tracking the cars in testing.
With 4508 not showing up sooner, it looks like TTC has found something they don't like and dealing with the issues. Same can be said of 4509. 4510 is to past the point where cars show up late after arrival.
Down to 6 weeks to have this year schedule met of 65, leaving 14 more to be delivery. Thats 2-3 cars a week and Kingston has yet to ship any as plan.
4480, 4249, 4221, 4204, 4225, 4229 in service on 501.

4508 isn't tracking, but I'm seeing 4509 currently at Leslie Barns - https://www.transsee.ca/fleetfind?a=ttc&q=4509&Go=Go
That might explain the men in dark suits and black sunglasses this morning going down upper Gerrard taking people's mobile phones, and flashing something in their eyes. I don't recall seeing 4509 though ...

The latest delivery is in Toronto somewhere, I have mixed reports whether it's 4511 or 4512. Have not personally laid eyes on it.

4509 was doing its first day of testing as an in service car for about 6 hours. It currently out in Long Branch for the last few hours as a dot
Something must be up if 4509 is out testing before 4508 and a few hours after its GPS was turn on after 10 days being here.

Oh. A lot of Flexities, like 4509 yesterday, have been out on Queen as in service tests. Is it in or out service ?

Out of service. However there were in service Flexities on 501 this evening.

Plural? The only one I spotted much earlier today was 4470. Hmm, and it's the only one there now too.

Yep, 4470 is only Flexity in service on 501 currently, so I don't know what he is talking about.
