They started by scheduling between 4 and 8 cars each weekday after Labour Day.

As for this coming Tuesday, the majority of the service will be provided by Flexities.

The two flood-damage cars are in Buffalo today, returning on CP.

It remains to be seen whether they go directly back to TTC or to another Bombardier shop for further work.
