4624 has been delivery to Hillcrest to be off loaded next week after the holidays. Posting about 4628 was false as expected and someone trying to pull someone leg.

4612 is at Harvey for repairs after that collision and derailment at King & Frederick. That did not take long

Push-button operated. Both vehicles have doors supplied by Ventura Systems.

I sure hope this marks a change in the TTC's attitude towards passengers having to push the button on streetcar doors to open, instead of unnecessarily wearing out every door mechanism at every stop by having the operator open all doors.

At the very least, the TTC will need to create new door operation instructions for the new sliding Ventura bus doors. They might as well do this for the Flexities!

The Flexities are smart... I've said it before that if you push the door button while in motion, it lights up green indicating that the door in that module will open itself.

It seems we're getting an out of order delivery as 4634 is waiting to be offloaded at Hillcrest. I know we got a few out of sequence, but other than the Kingston cars (4572-4579) I didn't think we ever got anything more than 3 ahead of the last one.

4634 has started its burn in an testing this afternoon

 

[drum118]

4628 has been drop off at Hillcrest with 4627 still out of order

4625 has been at Leslie for a number of day after being at Russell for work. Normally cars will enter service once work is done at Russell.

4626 has been over at Russell the last few days for final insulation of equipment.

4634 has completed its burn on and testing.

4628 will make it the 25th car to be delivery so far and will makeup for the 6 MIA/dead cars
