TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

[bbdfollower]

so, some positive momentum!

I wonder how much time was lost dealing with the 4466 car in TB, it could have disrupted production a little bit. It's been a productive quarter for BBD, let's hope they keep it up for Q3 and Q4.

4485 reached Toronto early this morning, one would expect it will be delivered to Hillcrest over the weekend for unloading on Monday.

Meanwhile, two more cars have been released in Thunder Bay and will ship shortly.

That surprising, considering 2 hours ago the GPS had it out in Lake Ontario. Even enter service on 511 is odd,

4466 up on 512 in Testing

4482 in the service bay

The 511 is almost all Flexities today. 505 Dundas is next.

On Sundays, maybe, and only once the Broadview works are done.
Rick Leary said in January that while 505/506 were to be bustituted for all of 2018, it *might* be reversed in the fall. It will be interesting to see how the 504A-D routes operate during the summer and how that impacts Flexity deployment.

Broadview work only starting.

Tomorrow the 504 variants are on.

While Leary may have said that early this year, service planning is operating on the expectation that streetcars will be back on 505 Dundas by September or October. 506 will take a bit longer as the vehicle requirements are so high.

They only operate on the 511 on Sundays at the moment.

WTF is 'workmonly"?

WTF is 'workmonly"?

I think it's like 'covfefe' when spell check on your device corrects something and you are too drunk / tired /absent-minded / doing dishes / watching children / or Netflix to notice.

4484 is tracking already

 

[dowlingm]

4466 is out testing again. Not signed into a route.

Saw an actual (not testing) flexity on Queen today headed westbound from Dufferin as an actual 501. I was not expecting to see that until 2019.
