When will the LFLRVs start panto operations?
I think they are planing around November or December once they have enough of them to provide service on 510 sapdain on there own.

Interesting. Do lines need to be converted to 100% pantograph operations for it to work? In other words, no mixing of patno and poles on the same line?
I was previously under the impression that the only impediment to panto was upgrading the electoral systems to make them compatible. Since the upgrades on line 510 are complete and we haven't yet seen any pantos in service, I assume that I understood incorrectly.

No driver to blame - Can we blame that on Thuder Bay.Accident involving one of the new streetcars on Queens Quay. https://twitter.com/TOsimon/status/614853743469817856
Usually when the streetcars derail its because of split switches. But the first and last module of the LFLRV appear to be properly sitting on the rails. It's the wheels on the third module that jumped off the rails. Interesting.
How'd you come up with that date? There's still specialwork on King and Queen - which are needed to get the cars into and out of service - that hasn't been converted yet. I suspect that not all of the detour routes have been completed, either.
Only once all of that overhead has been converted can then then think about putting the pans up.

Just saw 4400 and 4408 in service. So there are 9 in operation? How many cars does it take to replace all cars on the Spadina route?
Needs 14 + 15% spare or 16 cars just for 510 so it will 100% new cars.Good to hear that 4408 is in service!
By my count seven are available for service (but that doesn't mean that all of them *actually are in service*--a point that frustrates me to no end). 4400, 4403, 4404, 4405, 4406, 4407 and now 4408.
13 are required to fully populate Spadina.
