They shipped 7 from TB in December of last year (4515-4521) and their best month was March with 9 from the Bay (4531-4539) so they may do it. Even if they do we won't see 4401 until next year but the excuse there will be the welding even though that's not what's really delaying it.

During a previous construction project on Wellington 503 has also run (with streetcars) as wb on King to York, then looping via York, Queen and Church back to eastbound King.

All work on Wellington west of Yonge is finished, work on Wellington east of Yonge and north on Church to King is continuing. On these blocks, new water main completed, Toronto Hydro rebuild completed, telecom rebuild completed. Enbridge will be relocating a gas main starting after Christmas and when they are finished (April) the Citya nd TTC will start rebuilding tracks (beside north sidewalk), widening sidewalks etc and this is planned to be all done by early fall. New tree planting may be left to spring 2021.

The tracks on Wellington between the curves at Church and Yonge date back to 1972, easily the oldest track on the system. The curves at Church were rebuilt in 1992, in both directions. Once all the work on Wellington is done, the only reason not to run streetcars will be the perennial shortage so we may not see any Flexity 503 service on Wellington for some time.

The tracks on Victoria between Dundas and Queen are at least as old, they too will be replaced in 2020. The special trackwork at Church & King was rebuilt since I moved here in 2001 (probably 2003).

Now put in the order for 60 - 100 needed additional streetcars. With appropriate changes, like double-ended streetcars.

4594 was seen last night out testing and just started tracking a few hours ago. Not the first or last car to do it. No idea when it was off loaded and could have been Thursday or Friday last week.
Now to look for 4595 & 96 that could be here now.
Still 8 cars to be ship and on TTC property by Dec 31 to complete the order as plan this year. How far is 4603 from being ship and will there be a party when it arrives????
Until there is money to be found for the extra 60-100 cars, it only a dream they will show up before 2030, but don't expect any of them being duel ends.
Will we see cars east of Bay by 2030??? Cars may go over the Keating Channel by 2035.
