TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

I am assuming 4571 has been off loaded as it was at Hillcrest over the weekend.
4580 could be the next car off loaded this week depending when it arrives in Toronto.
4577 is in route from Kingston and that leaves 2 more cars to be built there since 4580 was built in TB.
This leaves 23 more cars from TB to meet Dec 31 date that includes 4401. That about 6 cars a month. By the end of Jan 2020 or sooner, the whole fleet will be in service, less the cars in or going to/from QC.
4405 is supposed to be in transit to Kingston and no idea why unless they need finish there or for testing.
4570 is now tracking
4569 could be in service by the weekend
 
4570 is currently out testing and is at Long Branch loop now.
4571 was off loaded today.
 
4569 has enter service on 509 after arriving Aug 29

4580 was off loaded on Friday

Some ppl want to know and keep track when cars enter service as well get off loaded and I am one of them.

You last saw an ALRV was on Sept 3 and that last you will see them in service as they are officially retire, 4.5 years later than plan. Go to 506 & 511 and you will see CLRV's on those lines and that will be it. Unless things change over the next few months, CLRV's will be retire come Jan 1st 2020.

At this point, the only new car we may see for the rest of the month will be 4577, unless some thing is release from TB this week.
 
Latest info is, both cars sent to the US are ready to return. That's effectively two more cars Flexities available.

Will TTC require some pre-service testing before putting them back into service? I'm guessing yes given the nature of the work.
