TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

4576 is finally tracking and currently sitting in the yard

4564 was off loaded today

Edit:
4576 is out testing on King St westbound at Dufferin

^4401 is not loaded, and has been sitting in that spot for quite a while. 4565, and 4566, have both been shipped without 4401 going anywhere.

I suspect 4401 still needs work. Five years old, and has never hauled a revenue passenger!

4565 was off loaded Wed
4564 has been tracking a number of days now
4563 westbound on the Queensway and the rest in the service bay
As for 4401, waiting for a slot to open and it will be here in 2020. Very sad for a 5 year old car yet to see service.

If you have visitors, and they see the streetcars, they may want to ride them.

It's quite interesting about the limbo 4401 has been in. And maybe we should all have a party when it enters service in 2020. Okay, maybe not a party it's baby steps with 4401, baby steps.

Is this supposed to be a tourist ad or something?

When I see a streetcar (CLRV or Flexity Outlook) in a movie or television show, it "advertises" or promotes Toronto. (Wish they would update the CTV Toronto News intro from the CLRV to the Flexity Outlook.)
 
4562 has enter service on 501 after arriving July 25
4563 heading to Roncesvalles from St Clair testing

Dude the Canada Pavilion at Epcot shows the Toronto skyline from 1995 in their film on Canada, so really probably gonna be a while before this happens.
 
4566 is now tracking and in the yard along with 4576. All other test cars in the service bay.

One day when CTV updates their intro, the CLRV shot will either replace with a Flexity or something else. No big deal
